What We Treat
Is Poor Sleep Taking Over Your Days and Your Nights?
Lying awake at 2 a.m. Waking up exhausted after a full night in bed. Dragging through the afternoon, then feeling wired again at bedtime. When sleep problems stick around for weeks or months, they rarely stay in the bedroom. They show up as irritability, poor focus, low mood, and anxiety that feeds on itself.
Common sleep-wake concerns include:
- Insomnia: trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early and being unable to get back to sleep
- Circadian rhythm disruption: a sleep schedule that’s shifted out of sync with your life, common with shift work or irregular schedules
- Sleep problems tied to mental health: racing thoughts, nightmares, or early waking linked to anxiety, depression, PTSD, or bipolar disorder
- Medication-related sleep changes: insomnia or daytime sedation caused by a current prescription
- Restless legs syndrome: an uncomfortable urge to move your legs that makes it hard to settle into sleep

Sleep Is a Symptom Worth Treating
Sleep and mental health run in both directions. Poor sleep can trigger or worsen anxiety and depression, and those same conditions are among the most common causes of insomnia. That’s why our sleep disorder treatment in Portland starts with a psychiatric evaluation, not a generic sleep aid.
Your provider will review your sleep patterns, mental health history, current medications, caffeine and alcohol use, and daily schedule to identify what’s actually keeping you up. Sometimes the answer is treating an underlying mood or anxiety disorder. Sometimes it’s adjusting a medication you’re already taking that’s disrupting your sleep. And sometimes a targeted sleep medication is the right short- or long-term tool.
A Better Future is Possible
Many people struggle with sleep disorders throughout their lives, unable to catch up on sleep and feel tired or worn-down during the day while awake and unsettled at night. With an accurate diagnosis, you can get relief and reset your circadian rhythm.
Falling asleep, staying asleep, and waking rested each morning is essential to your overall wellbeing. We’ll work with you to pinpoint your sleep-wake disorder with a thorough assessment and provide psychiatry and medication management services in Portland, OR.
If disrupted sleep and daily drowsiness are ruining your quality of life, we can help. Call for a consultation today.
Approach + Philosophy
Medication Management for Sleep
If medication is part of your plan, your provider will choose an option based on your specific sleep problem, your health history, and the risk of dependence or next-day grogginess. We favor the lowest effective dose and monitor how you’re sleeping and functioning at every follow-up, adjusting as needed so you get consistent rest without trading one problem for another.
If your symptoms point to a condition that needs specialized testing, such as sleep apnea or narcolepsy, we’ll coordinate a referral to a sleep medicine specialist and continue managing any related mental health symptoms alongside them.
