Being a human on this planet may bring difficulties that can impact how we live, how we love, how we work, and how we play. Life's challenges, losses, and traumas may have left you feeling lost, alone, disconnected, stuck, and unable to live to your fullest capacity, in spite of your best efforts. Challenges can exist in many areas: relationships, work, sense of identity, how you live in the world, even how you live in your own body. Sometimes you need a professional and non-judgmental ally to assist with restoring and preserving emotional and relational well-being, so that you can live more fully and authentically in the world.

Beginning therapy means different things to different people, but it is often an action of courage, hope, self-care, and self-determination. You might or might not have been to a therapist before. If this is your first experience with therapy, you might feel a bit nervous or apprehensive. That’s normal! Therapy is a process that allows you the freedom and privacy to discuss issues that are often painful or difficult to discuss with family and/or friends. I believe that in the process of our work together, you can begin to feel more at home within yourself and within your relationships.

Internal struggles can be difficult and lonely to experience. Living with constant worry and anxiety, feelings of sadness, obsessive and compulsive thoughts, or behaviors, are all challenges that are painful to navigate. The exciting news is that through proper treatment one can learn to work through these hurdles, and instead of viewing them as demons, transform them into vehicles for self-awareness and growth. I aim to create a safe and nurturing environment for my clients where they feel heard and supported.

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.
