Insomnia

I am a specialist in the gold standard treatment for chronic insomnia: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). My approach to treating insomnia is unique as I integrate treatment for chronic stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, & other difficulties that often go hand-in-hand with difficulty sleeping all at the same time. With this approach, I can help you get back your natural, honest sleep & eliminate your dependence on sleep medications in an average of only 4 to 8 weekly sessions.

Getting enough quality sleep is essential to good health and mental well being. If you are struggling with insomnia, you may be experiencing difficulty falling or staying asleep, struggling with daytime fatigue, or having trouble concentrating. CBT-I is an evidence-based treatment for insomnia that is highly recommended by sleep experts and medical providers. It addresses the underlying causes of sleeplessness and helps you develop healthy sleep habits.

As a Certified Sleep Therapist who conducted sleep research for over 5 years, I can help you learn how to improve your sleep quality effectively and efficiently. Through a combination of CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) techniques as well as identifying and processing the patterns causing your symptoms, I will help you overcome your sleep difficulties in a comfortable, structured way that demonstrates progress session to session.

I have extensive training and experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). Due to extensive research support, this treatment is now considered the gold standard for treating insomnia. I have served as a national consultant with the VA, training other therapists to deliver this treatment. I also have experience treating insomnia in the context of chronic pain, PTSD, chronic worry, ADHD, and other co-occurring challenges.

I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) for clients who are struggling with sleep difficulties. I also provide Imagery Rehearsal Training (IRT), which is a 1-3 session intervention to assist people who experience frequent, repetitive nightmares. I received training in both of these approaches through the Minneapolis VA.

Psychotherapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-Insomnia is the gold standard for treating insomnia. I add to it clinical hypnosis and neurofeedback to help you fall asleep quickly and stay asleep.

Has your bed become the enemy? Is it hard to fall asleep because of all the thoughts racing through your head when you lie down? CBT-I therapy for insomnia is a highly effective and short-term treatment (5-8 sessions on average) for insomnia. It can help you sleep again even if you've struggled with insomnia for 50 years. I love this therapy because it's so quick and effective that my people can't believe their results. I can also help you put an end to nightmares in 2-3 sessions.
