Sarah Kate McGowan Featured
I specialize in the treatment of insomnia, nightmares, circadian rhythm disorders, PAP adherence, and other sleep disorders that would benefit from a behavioral approach. Sleep difficulties are often overlooked and yet they undermine our mood, productivity, creativity, memory, and overall health.

With over a decade of experience, I help individuals reach their goals by adapting ...
