ABOUT

Hi, I'm Mariam and I am a therapist with expertise in Behavioral Sleep Therapy and anxiety disorders. Specializing in addressing a spectrum of sleep disturbances, I am dedicated to supporting individuals struggling with sleep and anxiety challenges through a compassionate and empathic approach.
Through a personalized approach, we tackle the factors affecting your sleep/insomnia and implement practical solutions to enhance your sleep quality and overall mental health. In our collaborative journey, we delve deep into the intricate patterns of your sleep challenges, understanding the unique interplay of thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that disrupt your nightly rhythm. Drawing from effective evidence-based practices, I provide tailored interventions to rewire your relationship with sleep, empowering you with practical and actionable tools to help reset, adjust, and strengthen the sleep cycle, quality, and amount.
In addition, I offer support with other areas that often interfere with sleep, such as anxiety (generalized, social, panic), rumination and excessive worrying, depression, life transitions, chronic stress and burnout, perfectionism, and procrastination, as well as helping clients process and regulate emotional difficulties and develop effective coping skills.

Sleep and mental health are very closely related and each requires specialized attention. With over 15 years in the field, I can help you reach your goals through a personalized and supported plan that you can implement right away so you can start having restful nights and peaceful days. Please reach out to see how I can help you.
