Finding Restorative Sleep (Originally published in Southside Neighbors Magazine)
Consistently waking up rested and recharged is a desirable experience yet nearly one third of adults in the United States do not get enough sleep (Palmer et al., 2024).
My name is Nicole (she/her), and as a therapist in Alaska I believe that each client is the expert in his/her/their own life.
I actively incorporate our relationship, the “therapeutic alliance,” into sessions which may look like:
• checking in on how a moment felt to you,
• or asking questions like, “Do you feel I am understanding what you’re going through?”
