Sleep Well
You are exhausted and feel like you have no energy. You can’t think clearly and are constantly snapping at people you care about. You just need a good night’s sleep, but when you turn out the light, your brain turns on. You feel like your mind is on a hamster wheel, running and running and getting nowhere.
You don’t have to spend another night lying awake staring at the ceiling or tossing and turning. CBT for insomnia can help you learn new ways to think about sleep and overcome the thoughts and behaviors that are getting in the way.
You have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or are waking up too early.
You are so tired that you skip activities with friends and family.
Your sleep is sometimes so bad that you have to call out of work.
Your sleep is all over the place. Sometimes it’s great, but sometimes you go a whole night without sleeping. Sometimes you go to bed at 9pm and sometimes you’re still awake at 2am.
You can’t turn off your brain at night. Your mind thinks bedtime is a great time to review your to-do lists, worry about what’s coming up, list all of the mistakes you made (ever in your life), or just start a countdown of the hours you still have left to sleep if you fell asleep right now.

CBT for Insomnia
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a short-term, evidence-based therapy that helps you focus on the thoughts, feelings, and expectations about sleep that are keeping you up at night. Together we will work to sort through all of the things that are affecting your sleep. I’ll provide you with tools and helpful strategies that will improve your sleep.
CBT-I is based in science. Using the science of sleep and data that you collect about your particular sleep patterns, I will help you identify things that you can do to start sleeping better. Unlike medication that may help you fall asleep, CBT-I gets to the underlying problems so you can fix them for good. And CBT-I doesn’t have any scary side effects.
Many people begin seeing improvement in just two or three sessions. A typical course of treatment is about 6-8 sessions. Research shows that the benefits are long-lasting.
