When a major life change leaves you feeling unmoored, disconnected, or uncertain of your direction, it can be incredibly isolating. Therapy can help make sense of these emotions and enable you to reconnect with your own internal compass. I work collaboratively with clients who are experiencing significant transitions. Whether you have recently experienced the birth of a child, a move to a new country, the dissolution of a relationship or the loss of a loved one, I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where we can process these experiences and help you rebuild a grounded, confident sense of self.

I work with teens and adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or mentally exhausted. Many struggle with focus, motivation, or getting started, even when they know what needs to be done. Others are dealing with stress from work or studies, relationship difficulties, or feeling lost during a period of change. Some may be navigating ADHD traits or exploring this possibility, while others simply feel that life has become harder to manage. I help clients make sense of what’s going on, reduce self-blame, and find practical and emotional ways forward that feel manageable in daily life.

To most people, the word trauma may be terrifying. In reality, it simply refers to a negative overwhelming experience or experiences. Overwhelming? Yes, any kind of overpowering experiences that cause extreme distress to the body, emotions, thoughts and mental states. These drive our physical and mental systems into survival modes of fight, flight or freeze in order to manage situations that are threatening or jeopardize survival. When left unaddressed, these modes may become the new operating system. Overtime, a traumatized person may get so used to operating in this mode, and it becomes an auto-pilot or default mode for them.

Sleep or Insomnia Counsellors
How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.

Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.

Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.

What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
