Dr. Sisco is an internationally recognized trauma recovery specialist. She emphasizes the importance of a developed and appreciated sense of self in the recovery process. This requires clients to share a little deeper and to own the parts of self that have previously been shunned. The concept is alignment.

And vice versa–if we’re stressed or not feeling good, we may not be sleeping well. I can help you make changes to your sleep that will improve your mental health, and I can support you in managing your mental health so you can sleep better.
