It’s time to regain control of your sleep! I had chronic insomnia for years and can relate to sleepless nights, tossing and turning in bed, and worrying about how I would be able to function the next day. I was constantly tired during the day, but I was wide awake once I got into bed.  

 

I was convinced that it was my fate to battle with sleep and saw myself taking sleep medications for the rest of my life. 

 

However, once I learned CBT-I as a therapist, I realized how my behaviors and thoughts worsened my insomnia. If I had previously known about CBT-I, I would have had relief in my sleep and overall mood and anxiety.

 

I share my background to let you know that I am passionate about sleep and helping others avoid the same mistakes I made. My road was long, but now I sleep well and wake refreshed the next day.  Sleep is not governing my life anymore. 

 

Even if you need or wish to continue taking medications for sleep, you will have more control of your insomnia than you are led to believe. If you and your prescriber decide it's time to stop taking medications for sleep, CBT-I can increase the likelihood of success. We can work together in getting you off medications for sleep. 

​

If your insomnia is due to unprocessed past experiences, we may decide to add a few EMDR sessions after CBT-I.
