Using science-based techniques, I can help you develop the tools you need to sleep easier, feel less overwhelmed, and more in control.
Have you gone from living a full life to feeling yourself exhausted and lying awake every night, obsessively focused and out of control with food and eating, overwhelmed by stress, sidelined by chronic pain or a serious medical diagnosis. You have tried "cure" after "cure" and yet nothing has improved. Maybe you’re nervous about seeking help for your struggles.

As a Certified Herbalist and Specialist in Nutritional & Integrative Medicine, I provide practical & holistic strategies to enhance focus, mood, sleep, and behavior by addressing the link between gut health and brain function.
We are more than just our thoughts. I create a safe environment for you to explore your past and reshape your narrative, embracing the mind-body-spirit connection. Many people I work with are struggling with the effects of trauma, which can include feelings of anxiety, depression, fear, anger, guilt, shame, and numbness. These experiences can lead to feelings of worthlessness, helplessness, hopelessness, or despair, and even make them question the meaning and purpose of life.

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.
