Lack of sleep takes a toll on every facet of our lives. Maybe you're tired of tossing and turning for hours every night, feeling exhausted but just can't fall asleep. Maybe you dread waking up in the middle of the night and counting the number of hours of sleep you might get before you have to get up and face another day. You may have tried all the usual sleep hygiene practices to fix your sleep, like cutting caffeine or limiting screen time, but sleep deprivation is still affecting your mood and energy level everyday. You're ready to stop worrying about sleep, feel rested in the morning, and get back into your life again.
I'm a clinical psychologist board-certified in behavioral sleep medicine dedicated to helping people sleep better using CBT-I, the gold-standard treatment for insomnia. I also provide evidence-based therapy for trauma, binge eating, and postpartum depression and anxiety when these concerns are part of the big picture.
We’ll work together to understand what’s contributing to your sleep problem and use specific strategies to make meaningful changes. If you’re ready to sleep well and feel rested again, please reach out by phone or email, or visit my website to learn more about my therapy approach. I’d love to hear your story and help you take the next step.
