Do you struggle with panic attacks, insomnia, or worry? Do you have difficulty standing up for yourself and saying no? Perhaps you are stuck in the cycle of perfectionism, where no matter what you do, it never feels like you are good enough? If these questions feel familiar to you, I am so glad you reached out for help. I work with people struggling with anxiety... high achievers who find themselves at a crossroads, where their perfectionism is no longer working for them, but against them. I love helping people find their self-worth from within, and find the skills to set healthy boundaries and live the life they want to live.

Anxiety, depression, and OCD are interfering with all parts your life - social, school, work, & family. Constant worries & nervousness pile up &become overwhelming & hard to handle. Anxiety is even affecting your sleep, eating, & relationships. Withdrawing isn't working; it just leaves you feeling lonely & like you've missed out on opportunities. Interacting with others feels challenging due to fears of embarrassment, difficulties being assertive, or poor social skills. You're frustrated, exhausted, & feeling hopeless. Can you imagine gaining new skills to overcome these daily difficulties? It's possible & I'd like to help you.

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.
