It might be 3am and you are staring at the ceiling, running through the math of how many hours you could still get. Or maybe sleep has just quietly stopped working, and bedtime now feels like a test you are bracing to fail. Many people I work with are not just tired. They are exhausted from worrying about sleep itself, tracking it, trying to fix it, and watching it slip further away. If that sounds familiar, I specialize in exactly this kind of insomnia. Together, we can interrupt that cycle and help your body relearn something it already knows how to do.

My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for chronic sleep difficulties. This focused process helps your brain rebuild a healthier relationship with sleep. Rather than chasing perfect sleep, we focus on calming the cycle of pressure that keeps you up at night.

When sleep feels uncertain night after night, it quietly wears down your confidence. You do not have to keep managing this alone. My approach is warm and grounded in practical tools that create real change. We will ease the anxiety that builds around bedtime and rebuild the conditions for good sleep. I would be glad to connect when you are ready.
