As a driven and successful individual, you excel in your career, education, or public life, but behind the scenes, you’re struggling with imposter syndrome and exhaustion. You’re losing sleep, battling depression, and experiencing overwhelming worry. Your days are packed with meetings, deadlines, and responsibilities, leaving little room to pause or reflect, let alone take care of yourself. Sometimes, you skip breaks, yet the quality of your work and relationships are suffering. Even when you're around loved ones, you’re not fully present. Constant pressure has left you disconnected, and the burnout is quietly taking its toll.

Being human is pretty hard; acknowledging vulnerability is even harder. Efforts avoid or get rid of unwanted experiences can negatively impact our health and make us feel stuck, anxious, or angry and more like autopiloted, checked-out, reactive "human doings" than conscious, connected, and responsive human beings. Every person deserves a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate (and at times, humorous) space to heal and grow. We will work together to help you explore and shift your relationship with those experiences, live in the present, and create a rich and meaningful life guided by what you value most deeply.

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.
