Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

While my last name is "Student," I am actually a licensed, seasoned clinician with extensive training and experience in the field of psychology. I help adults confront a wide range of challenges, such as depression, anxiety, and traumatic stress. I also have expertise in assisting individuals struggling with their physical health, including chronic pain, medical illness, and sleep/insomnia.

Do you feel exhausted before you even start your day? Are you restless in bed and wish there were a way to finally get a good night’s sleep? I am a UCLA trained clinical psychologist, author, and professor who specializes in the evidence-based treatment of insomnia, anxiety, trauma, and burnout and have helped many people overcome the challenges they are facing by learning how to sleep better, feel well, and thrive. I am certified in Mindfulness based and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, which is considered the “gold standard” and first line treatment for insomnia, as it provides natural relief of insomnia symptoms.

It can be tough to manage relationships, health, work or school pressures, and the day-to-day stresses of life that come our way. If you find yourself struggling due to past experiences or childhood trauma, I'm here to help. Maybe you overthink, can't sleep, or worry too much. Maybe you've struggled with alcohol or other substance use. Maybe you're looking for clarity to figure out what you want. As your therapist, I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space where you can feel safe. Within this trusted relationship, you can cultivate new coping skills and mindsets that open up new possibilities, at any stage of life.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families who may be struggling with difficulties related to the intersection between physical and mental health. I specialize in evidence-based treatment and have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness-based approaches. I see therapy as a way to utilize these evidence-based treatments to explore whatever may be keeping you stuck in the habits, patterns, or situations that may no longer be serving you and learning skills to help you overcome these circumstances.

My aim is to provide a compassionate, straightforward and personalized therapy experience based on therapeutic tools and techniques that have been found to be effective. I utilize in equal measure cognitive behavioral principles to target changes you want to make in unhelpful thinking or behavioral patterns as well as acceptance, mindfulness and compassion-focused approaches focused on self-understanding and self-compassion for life's struggles.

I specialize in the treatment of insomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, and other sleep disorders. Sleep difficulties are often overlooked and yet they undermine our mood, productivity, creativity, memory, and overall health. Whether you recently started having difficulty with sleep or it's been a long standing problem, there are highly effective treatments that do NOT involve the use of medications. In fact, if you are currently taking medications for sleep but would like to reduce or eliminate them, I can help. If anxious thoughts are interfering with your sleep, we can find ways to reduce the impact that anxiety has on your sleep.

Therapy is an opportunity to invest in the emotional education your younger self may have never received, and wished they had. It's a space to explore old patterns and habits, and to discern which ones are serving you, and which may be getting in the way of the life you'd like to live. I help my clients get unstuck, through exploring and shifting their relationship with their own thoughts and emotions. I empower clients by equipping them with coping tools to manage stress and balance the nervous system, ultimately in service of reconnecting with whatever it is that drives them- their core values.

Difficulty sleeping requires specialized treatment. I'm a board-certified behavioral sleep psychologist who works with adults and teens who struggle to turn off their minds at night and fall asleep, and those who find themselves wide awake at odd hours. Many feel unrefreshed and sluggish during the day and often worry that sleep aids are their only option, or they have found that sleep aids don’t work as well as they once did. I also help those with distressing nightmares & vivid dreams to sleep more peacefully, and I work with children whose sleep disturbances may be disrupting bedtime and nighttime for the whole household.

Anxiety, shame, and chronic guilt; you don’t know how to relax, and you probably don’t sleep very well. The perfectionism is crippling, and you're exhausted. Maybe you're a people-pleaser with terrible boundaries, or a former “gifted and talented” kid, or a child of immigrants always reaching for "good enough." Your inner critic is loud. Anxious perfectionism may also show up as body tension and panic attacks; procrastination and indecision; an overwhelming to-do list; and difficulty in relationships. Perfectionists don't already do things perfectly—they feel like they HAVE to do better, but they’re ALWAYS falling short.

If you have reached the conclusion that talk therapy does little for anxiety, insomnia, stress, 1) you're not alone, and 2) there is an alternative.

Time permitting, I am taking new patients and gladly offer a free consultation. Because Carpé Diem.
