As a PhD provisionally registered psychologist with specialized training in evidence-based treatments for insomnia, I believe good sleep is the foundation for good mental health. I work with individuals to improve their sleep by addressing the root cognitive and behavioural causes of insomnia, such as reducing anxiety, depression, or doing “too much of a good thing” that interferes with sleep (e.g. addiction to nicotine, alcohol, or cannabis, or other impulsive/compulsive behaviours such as too much internet or social media use, pornography, binge eating, video games, or gambling).

I specialize in the assessment and treatment of emotion dysregulation and related conditions including eating disorders, borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety, and insomnia in adolescents and adults.
I am passionate about the therapeutic process and privileged when a client allows me to join them in theirs. My approach balances the art and science of therapy by using evidence-based treatments and tailoring them to be most effective for you. I believe in being as authentic as possible so I stay genuinely curious and collaborate with you to make sense of emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. I value taking a strength-based approach and promoting a safe and non-judgmental environment that empowers you to engage in the meaningful work of self-discovery, acceptance, and change.

I believe that life doesn't have to be so hard, and every single one of us is capable of accepting more ease in our lives.

My clinical hypnotherapy services are designed for individuals seeking more ease and fulfillment in their lives. We begin by establishing clear, measurable goals tailored to how you would rather feel. Our approach helps you regulate your nervous system, release old patterns, and embrace a life of ease.

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.
