insomnia and sleep disorders

If I could just get one night of good sleep, everything would be better. 

You can’t remember the last time your head hit the pillow and you fell right to sleep and stayed asleep. It sounds like an idyllic fantasy now.

Instead, as the day goes on your mind is consumed with thoughts about sleep.

“Will I be able to sleep tonight?” “How much longer will this go on?” “What if I can never sleep normally again?”

You dread going to sleep now because instead of a break from your hectic day, it’s now a battle with your mind and body.

I’ve tried everything and I need help.

A lack of sleep can make you feel almost desperate. It makes you tired, sure, but also irritable, frustrated, on the verge or tears, anxious, and stressed.

Whether your sleep issues started because of anxiety or depression, one bad stretch of jet lag, or seemingly out of the blue, the good news is there are effective treatments for insomnia and other sleep issues.

The Gold Standard Treatment

CBT-I or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia is the best therapy for sleep concerns. It works through a combination of sleep hygiene adjustments, relaxation strategies, and behavioral changes. It’s a proven protocol to help you get back to a healthy sleep pattern in a couple of weeks.

That’s where I come into the picture.

Not only am I trained in CBT-I, but I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or ACT (said as one word) to CBT-I treatment to help you understand why your mind and body is impeding rest and help you break unhelpful thought patterns that are ramping up fears around sleep.

This treatment approach can work whether it’s been months or years since you’ve slept well. And you can stay on your sleep medication throughout treatment. Or work to reduce or eliminate sleep medications overall (with the support of your prescribing doctor).

Let’s work on getting you the rest you need.

I can help you fall asleep and stay asleep.
