HOW CAN I HELP?
Let's discuss an alternative treatment to resolve your insomnia. Whether this will be your first appointment with a professional to discuss insomnia or your current treatment provider is referring you for assessment, I encourage you to contact me for a consultation to discuss relief for the sleep struggles you are having. The primary technique I utilize is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). CBT-I is supported by scientific data and has a proven track record as an effective intervention for insomnia. This treatment is typically short-term and has long-lasting results.
What is CBT-I?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is recommended by the American College of Physicians as an initial (first-line) therapy for chronic insomnia. CBT-I focuses on specific behavioral interventions to eliminate some of your old habits and home environment disruptions that are feeding your sleep disorder. The goal is to quickly identify sleep needs and problematic areas, implement specific changes guided by your therapist, and monitor and track the results until sleep has significantly improved.
​
Why is this therapy different?
You may have previously sought therapy for your insomnia and discussed emotional factors like anxiety, stress, grief, or loss that contribute to your sleep struggles. While addressing these emotional stressors is important, the primary focus of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is different. CBT-I takes a behavior-focused approach with a structured weekly plan designed to target specific sleep issues, establish healthier sleep patterns, and deliver measurable results.

How long will it take?
While every person is different, the average length of time to complete this treatment will be 6-10 weeks. Please keep in mind that your specific plan may require more or less than 6-10 weeks.

Let's work together so you have the opportunity for a significant improvement in your quality of life.
