Our sleep, our dreams, our relationships, our creativity.
As someone who has had their own journey with sleep, restfulness and dreams—I’m not leading you anywhere into the depths of the night that I haven’t been. I come with a satchel full of useful tools and a humble curiosity about what it means to rest well, and try again. I work best with clients who are looking to cultivate a better understanding with themselves with curiosity, compassion, and creativity. In our work together my biggest intention is that you will find more restful nights and cultivate a deeper relationship creativity, somatic body, and dreamlife.

Your life was great. You were successful. You were "going places." Never did you expect to be dealing with chronic pain! Before this happened, you couldn't have imagined how much it affects every aspect of your life. It affects how you think. It steals your patience. It makes you moody. Making life a struggle all around. Your family wants to provide assistance but they just don't understand what you are going through. Frustration and fear add to your struggles as you worry if you will be in pain forever, if you will be able to continue working, and if you will be dependent on others.

Life is rarely easy. Whether we thrive or feel defeated by life may depend upon the perspectives and skills that we bring to difficult situations. Relief from both emotional and physical pain can come with acceptance of those things that we cannot change in the present moment and from developing a set of attitudes and skills for changing our relationships to the things we cannot change while also allowing us to pursue valued goals and activities with a sense of commitment, satisfaction, purpose, confidence, and joy.

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.
