It's time to get yourself sleep. I help people with chronic insomnia to learn how to calm down their body and slow down their racing minds so they can get to sleep. If you’ve tried sleep hygiene, apps, supplements, or forcing yourself to relax (with little success), you’re not alone — and you’re not broken. Insomnia isn’t a willpower problem. It’s a learning problem — and it is treatable.
My work is grounded in CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I), the gold-standard, first-line treatment recommended by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. CBT-I targets the patterns that perpetuate insomnia like conditioned arousal and a nervous system stuck in "high alert." I also offer optional instruction in self-hypnosis to learn physiological downregulation.
Patients often describe me as calm, thoughtful, and precise. I value warmth and attunement while respecting your intelligence and your time. Therapy is goal-oriented, practical, and individualized — not open-ended or vague. If your sleep problem feels stubborn, frustrating, and unlike everything else you’re managing successfully, I’d be glad to help.

"
For some patients, brief hypnotic or imagery-based techniques can help reduce nighttime hyperarousal or anticipatory anxiety about sleep. These are optional, trauma-informed, and used only when they support the goals of CBT-I—not as a replacement for it. Focus is on teaching self-hypnosis skills to downregulate nervous system over-reactivity.
