You’ve spent years being the strong one—the caretaker, the problem-solver, the one holding it all together. But the weight of it all is catching up with you. Maybe you’re tired of feeling anxious or struggling with persistent stress and burnout that’s affecting your health, relationships, and daily life. You might also feel overwhelmed by the pressure to “do it all” perfectly, even when it comes at the expense of your own well-being. You may be navigating major life transitions—empty nest, divorce, career change, perimenopause or menopause, or adjusting to life as a new parent—and feeling completely exhausted.

Many of the people I work with think deeply, feel deeply, and experience the world with a level of complexity that can be difficult to explain to others. They may have spent years feeling out of place, adapting to expectations that never quite fit, or holding themselves to rules they never agreed to. The clients I work best with are deeply curious people who want to understand themselves and the patterns that have shaped their lives. Many are neurodivergent, queer, gifted/formerly gifted, highly creative, or people with complex histories who have spent years feeling unseen or disconnected from themselves.

Sleep or Insomnia Therapists
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.
