Sometimes Life gets bit much. Life starts unravelling or getting overwhelming, at times. We find ourselves needing a caring, empathic person to listen to and understand us, and we want the best support for us, so we can move forward, heal, grow, or get our life back on track. When you're going through the hard times, having someone in your corner who has ideas for us, where we can improve our life, overcome our troubles and feel we are getting somewhere, this can make a big difference. Whether you're facing some big issues in your life, or wanting more out of Life, or to grow, heal from the past, I can support you.

I work extensively with anxiety, depression, phobias/fears, insomnia and relationship issues.

While talking about our problems can provide some relief people need more than that. I work only with approaches that get real results for people. If change is what you need and you are ready for that, then this approach is the first positive step.

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.
