Who I Help

For many people, a few hard nights turn into a cycle of poor sleep, worry about sleep, and exhaustion during the day.

You’re tired, but your mind won’t shut off.

You lie awake replaying the day or planning tomorrow.

You’re exhausted, but sleep still feels impossible.

You wake up during the night or too early and can't get back to sleep.

You’ve begun to dread bedtime.

You watch the clock and worry about how you'll get through tomorrow.

The harder you try to sleep, the more frustrating it becomes.

The more effort you put into sleeping, the further it seems to slip away.

You want to sleep without spending so much energy thinking about sleep.

You want to feel rested without every night feeling like a test.

If this happens three or more nights a week for three months or longer, it may be chronic insomnia, and CBT-I is designed for it.

How We Work Together

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a first-line, evidence-based treatment for chronic insomnia. Instead of giving you sleep tips, we work on the patterns that keep insomnia going.

We look at patterns around sleep, including time in bed, sleep habits, worry about sleep, and the ways you may have adapted to nights of poor sleep over time.

From there, we begin make sense of how these patterns developed and how they can contribute to frustration, anxiety about sleep, and the exhaustion that follows you into the next day.

Over time, the goal is not simply to “cope better,” but to shift the patterns and rebuild confidence in your ability to sleep.

This work helps you relate differently to sleep, and nighttime wakefulness, so bedtime can feel less like something you have to manage.

Other Ways I Help

Therapy for Overwhelmed Women

You’re capable, dependable, and used to doing a lot for everyone. But constantly being “the strong one” can take a toll. I help women navigate anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, and chronic stress while creating a more sustainable way of living.

Parent Coaching & Family Support

Parenting can be complicated, especially when you’e trying to understand what your child needs while navigating your own emotions and the demands of family life. I help parents better understand their children, strengthen their emotional connection, and feel more confident in responding to difficult behaviors and family dynamics.
