My Approach

If you’re struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep or both – there’s a proven solution. The way to get past insomnia and restore your sleep is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the first-line treatment for insomnia recommended by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, National Institute of Health and Consumer Reports.

CBT-I gets to the root of the problem and reverses it. The root of insomnia is negative sleep thoughts (NST’s) and poor sleep behaviors (PSB’s).

I’m a certified CBT-I clinician with a high level of proficiency in the CBT-I program developed and tested at Harvard Medical School. I’ve been implementing CBT-I successfully with my clients for the past 10+ years.

In addition, I’ve enhanced it with additional strategies for managing negative sleep thoughts, sleep anxiety, and rebuilding confidence in your ability to sleep and sleep well.

And there’s very few people who know this treatment well. I’ve spent the last 10+ years applying it, first with myself and then with numerous clients with a high success rate.

How We Work Together

We meet weekly through Zoom for a 45-minute session. Each session is a “class” where you will learn powerful skills that you apply to your sleep each night over the next week.

I will help you to implement powerful changes to your sleep behaviors and key shifts in your thinking, to break the pattern of poor sleep, eliminate sleep anxiety and restore healthy sleep. I can help you get off sleep aids (including medications and over the counter remedies) even if you’ve been taking them for years.

I have the unique perspective of both a clinical psychologist and former insomnia sufferer, having overcome insomnia 10 years ago with the strategies I teach my clients. I’ve been insomnia-free ever since — and so can you.

FAQs

  • People can notice improvements in their sleep in as little as a few weeks, however the degree and speed of improvements and elimination of insomnia vary based on individual differences. The beauty of CBT-I is the ongoing improvements you will notice with time as you continue to implement and build on your skills.

  • The number of sessions vary with each person depending on different factors, but most people require just 6-10 sessions to learn the core skills and get on a good track.

  • I currently do not accept insurance and only accept private pay patients (an out-of-network provider). I provide a superbill for my clients to file with their insurance company to help with reimbursement.

  • Yes, insomnia is a medical diagnosis, so you can use your HSA or FSA to pay for sessions.

  • CBT-I is safe, effective, and can be used in conjunction with sleep aids. In fact, if you would like to taper off sleep aids, CBT-I is designed to help you do that with consultation from your prescribing provider.
