Understand
your nights.
We’ll discuss when difficulties began, your schedule, what happens when you wake, and how sleep affects your days. A sleep diary can help make the pattern clearer.
When you’re tired,
but your mind
won’t settle.
Lying awake can feel lonely. We can talk about what’s keeping you up—and what it’s taking from your days.

REST DESERVES ATTENTIONThe day ends.
The day ends.
Your thoughts
keep going.
Maybe bedtime is when every unfinished task gets louder. Maybe you fall asleep, then wake at 3 a.m. and start counting how little time is left before morning.
Insomnia can involve difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or returning to sleep after waking too early. When sleep difficulties keep affecting your days, they deserve a conversation.
At Liminal, we explore sleep alongside your mental health, medical history, and the life you’re actually living.
Long nights.
Harder mornings.
During the night
- Taking a long time to fall asleep
- Waking repeatedly or staying awake for long stretches
- Waking earlier than you want
- Racing thoughts or worry around bedtime
During the day
- How tiredness affects your concentration
- Feeling more overwhelmed or less patient
- The effort it takes to get through your responsibilities
- Worry about whether tonight will be any different
Different sleep problems can feel similar. Understanding the pattern helps us consider the right next step.
A THOUGHTFUL STARTING POINTWe look beyond
We look beyond
the bedtime routine.
Understand
Connect
the pieces.
We make room for anxiety, mood symptoms, medications, caffeine or alcohol use, pain, and other health concerns. Your work schedule, caregiving responsibilities, and opportunities to rest matter too.
Choose care
that fits.
My role is psychiatric evaluation and medication management. We can discuss support for overlapping mental health concerns, therapy referrals, and coordination with primary care or a sleep specialist when appropriate.
SLEEP & SEASONS OF CHANGEYour nights
Your nights
may be changing
with you.
During perimenopause and menopause, night sweats and changes in mood can contribute to disrupted sleep. Those changes may arrive alongside work demands, caregiving, or other transitions.
We can discuss these experiences as part of hormone-informed psychiatric care and consider coordination with your primary care clinician or OB-GYN. We don’t assume hormones explain every sleep concern.

With you.
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is generally recommended as the first treatment for chronic insomnia. It is a structured treatment focused on sleep-related thoughts and behaviors. We can discuss referral options for this care.
Medication may be considered when appropriate, with attention to your health history, other medications, possible benefits and risks, and follow-up. A prescription is not an automatic part of the visit.
We’ll talk about what you’ve already tried, what you’re comfortable with, and what you want to understand. Your questions and feedback remain part of the plan.
WHEN OTHER CARE MAY HELPThe right support
The right support
for the right concern.
Loud snoring, gasping during sleep, or witnessed pauses in breathing can suggest sleep apnea. These symptoms, or significant daytime sleepiness, warrant discussion with a medical clinician.
A sleep specialist may be needed to assess breathing-related sleep disorders or other sleep conditions. Liminal’s psychiatric care can complement that work; the practice does not provide sleep studies.

A little clarity
before you begin.
Do I need an insomnia diagnosis first?
No. You can discuss your sleep concerns during an evaluation. We’ll consider the pattern, your health history, and whether other assessment is needed.
Will I be prescribed a sleep medication?
Not automatically. We discuss treatment options together. Medication decisions depend on the evaluation, your preferences, and what is appropriate for your health.
What is CBT-I?
CBT-I is a structured therapy for insomnia. It goes beyond general sleep tips and is commonly recommended for chronic insomnia. We can discuss referral to a clinician who provides it.
Can we discuss sleep during menopause?
Yes. We can explore sleep alongside mood symptoms and menopause-related changes, and discuss coordination with your medical clinicians.
Can appointments be online?
Yes, when you are physically in Texas, New Mexico, Washington, or Delaware. In-person appointments are also available in Lubbock, Texas.
