I treat adults with a holistic approach to many different disorders including but not limited to Mood disorders, including Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Sleep and Anxiety, PTSD, Schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder and symptoms brought on by acute stressors.
A caring professional with passion for delivering services to those dealing with mental health disorders. Earning the privilege to support and treat those with these disorders with dignity and respect are an important part of how care is delivered and what all clients deserve. In order to accurately diagnose and treat individuals a keen listening ear is important. This lends itself to a person centered centered treatment plan that includes the parts of the plan that are consistent with what the client wants, what their symptoms require and how their support network can be included to optimize recovery.

Sleep or Insomnia Psychiatrists

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.
