Finding the right therapist is a challenging journey. It's essential to find a therapist that can help you navigate through difficult life situations while providing an objective perspective. I believe in working with people's strengths and empowering them to live their life being fully present and engaged. In every session my focus is on creating a safe atmosphere where clients feel comfortable enough to express whatever they're experiencing without the fear of judgement or guilt. It is within that umbrella of trust that people report feeling truly heard and understood, some for the first time in their lives.

I am a licensed psychotherapist in Florida and Virginia. Are you struggling to understand why life has become so difficult? Are you trying to navigate feelings of shame, unworthiness, sadness, depression alone? Does your heart feel weighed down by an ache that you can’t quite put into words? Even worse, the people in your life that you love and care about have no idea how much pain you are in? People tell you to “get over it” and that everyone “has bad days”. It doesn’t have to be this way. You feel your emotions on a deep, intense level that no one else seems to understand? Help and healing are closer than you think.

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.
