I have a specific and extensive training in behavioral sleep medicine that utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia. We will explore behavioral components of sleep disturbances as well as other factors that may impact the initiation or maintenance of sleep through the night.
Having trouble sleeping? Feel tired in the morning even after what you thought was enough sleep? Issues with sleep are very common and tied to increased anxiety, depression, and difficulty managing stress and change in life. I help people improve their sleep, with effective strategies for falling and staying asleep.
Good sleep is vital to our functioning. Without it, our mental and physical performance suffers. Oftentimes, once our sleep gets disrupted, it gets increasingly harder over time to fix it. I have many resources and strategies to help you improve your sleep through education, relaxation skills, and behavior modifications.
With over 24 years of experience, I help individuals overcome sleep challenges and improve their overall well-being. I'm a board-certified diplomate in sleep disorders, specializing in treating insomnia, nightmares, and difficulties with sleep routine and timing. I utilize evidence-based CBT-I therapy to achieve long-lasting results. Treatment often can be accomplished within 3-5 sessions.
I am competent in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), which is a gold standard treatment for this condition. As a result of my training experiences, I have also worked with individuals with sleep apnea who are struggling to use their CPAP/BiPAP machines consistently due to anxiety or fear. I utilize a treatment called CPAP desensitization to address such concerns. I have also worked with individuals with circadian rhythm disorders and hypersomnia.
