Sleep and mental health are inseparable. Depression disrupts sleep. Poor sleep worsens anxiety. ADHD makes rest feel impossible. And chronic insomnia is rarely just about sleep.

At The Rest Practice, this connection isn't an afterthought, it's the foundation of how I work. Every service I offer is designed with both in mind.

Most patients find that their sleep, their mood, and their sense of themselves are all connected. We'll figure out where to begin together.
