Cathy Bykowski, Ph.D. Featured
You’re exhausted but can’t turn your brain off at night. Maybe you lie awake replaying to-do lists, worrying about what’s ahead, or counting the hours you have left to sleep. Some nights you fall asleep quickly, other nights you’re still wide awake at 2 a.m. You’re tired of tossing, turning, and dragging through your days.
I’m a health psychologist who helps people break the cycle between stress, poor sleep, and health problems. Stress, burnout, and emotional strain can lead to sleep difficulties, weight gain, high blood pressure, and trouble managing conditions like diabetes or chronic illness. At the same time, health issues can affect your mood, motivation, and daily habits — leaving you stuck in a frustrating loop.
