Are you overwhelmed, anxious, and burned out? Are you having difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep, waking up too early, or even all of the above?

Sarah Kate McGowan Featured
I specialize in the treatment of insomnia, nightmares, circadian rhythm disorders, PAP adherence, and other sleep disorders that would benefit from a behavioral approach. Sleep difficulties are often overlooked and yet they undermine our mood, productivity, creativity, memory, and overall health. Whether you recently started having difficulty with sleep or it's been a long standing problem, there are highly effective treatments that do NOT involve the use of medications. In fact, if you are currently taking medications for sleep but would like to reduce or eliminate them, I can help. If anxious thoughts are interfering with your sleep, we can find ways to reduce the impact that anxiety has on your sleep.
With over a decade of experience, I help individuals reach their goals by adapting ...
