I specialize in supporting individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, and other mental health concerns.
If you're waking up each day feeling like it's a battle just to move forward… please know, you’re not alone. Maybe it's the weight of anxiety that never seems to lift. Or the numbness of depression that makes even simple tasks feel impossible. Perhaps it's a deep sadness, a sense of emptiness, or something you can’t even put into words. Whatever you’re facing, your pain is real, and it deserves attention, not silence. You might be feeling tired of pretending you're okay. Tired of struggling alone. But reaching out is not a sign of weakness—it’s a sign of strength. It means you’re ready for things to change.

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.
