Insomnia
Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that makes it difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep, or both, even when you have the opportunity to sleep. It can lead to daytime fatigue, reduced energy, difficulty concentrating, and mood changes. While occasional sleep difficulties are normal, insomnia is characterized by persistent problems with sleep that disrupt daily life.

Depression
There are so many causes of depression, which is why it is important to work with a licensed professional when seeking treatment. In many cases, depression can stem from a disconnection of values, relationships, or other aspects of life. In other cases, it may be due to the lack of certain neurotransmitters within the brain that are responsible for feelings of joy, motivation, and affection.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings with significant emotional highs and lows. It is a chronic mental health condition that does not have a cure but symptoms can be managed.

Anxiety
What is anxiety?
Anxiety is an emotion characterized by strong feelings of tension, worry, physical changes such as an increase in blood pressure and heart rate. People with anxiety disorders have constant intrusive thoughts or concerns.
Anxiety disorders come in a variety of forms from general anxiety to more specific conditions such as social anxiety or panic disorders. Anxiety develops from several compounding factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, personality, and life events. Many patients who are diagnosed with anxiety may also have co-occurring illnesses such as substance abuse, depression, or other mental health conditions.

Nicotine Dependence
Involves both physical and psychological dependence on nicotine, a substance found in tobacco products. This dependence develops over time with repeated nicotine use, leading to tolerance (needing more nicotine to achieve the same effect) and withdrawal symptoms when nicotine use is reduced or stopped. Many people who smoke, vape, chew or use other forms of tobacco and want to stop might find my services helpful. I am a national certified tobacco treatment specialist with the American Heart Association (AHA).
