Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in Santa Clarita, CA
Eight years ago, I began working with professional athletes and traumatic brain injuries. This opened a huge door for me to understanding that there are many un-diagnosed brain injuries in the US resulting not just from professional sports, but car accidents, bicycle accidents, falls, and a wide assortment of ways in which children, adolescents, and adults receive a blow to the head. Our brains are much more fragile than previously understood. Be aware of chronic pain, chronic fatigue, constant headaches, brain fog, dizziness, loss of balance, poor memory, sensitivity to light/sound, poor sleep patterns, and depression & anxiety.

I assist my clients with a wide variety of issues: grief /loss, unhappiness, forgiveness of self/others, relationship/communication strategies, insomnia, stress reduction, smoking cessation, performance, menopause, weight loss, eating disorders, fears and phobias, confidence/self-esteem, procrastination, ADHD, pain management, fertility, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, IBS, and other blocks.
Energy follows thought. What are your thoughts? Do you have self-defeating negative mental chatter? Do you have habits, fears, perceptions, beliefs, attitudes, which hinder you from being "all you can be"? As a hypnotherapist I use hypnosis as part of a multidisciplinary approach to help my clients rewrite the stories in their sub-conscious mind. I also employ my 30 plus years as a Shamanic Healer to assist my clients in being all they were created to be. Reiki and Chakra balancing are also employed when appropriate. Powerful assistance comes with Past Life Regression and Soul Retrieval.

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.
