Insomnia is a disorder that touches every aspect of a person's life. There's nothing more miserable than struggling to sleep, which seems like it should be so natural and easy. Then, during the day, you wonder why, if you're so tired, is it so hard to sleep at night? It is possible to get sufficient high-quality sleep without the use of medication. Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia (CBT-I) has been recommended as the first line of treatment for chronic insomnia, and I have seen it work in clients from age 15 up to 90+. I go beyond "sleep hygiene" with an empirically-supported treatment that is straightforward, and I tailor it to each individual client. We can also work on any anxiety or depression than can be an underlying cause or lingering effect of insomnia. I worked in a sleep disorders center for three years, and we can figure out if you may have another sleep disorder that could be keeping you from sleeping. In addition to CBT, I use mindfulness-based techniques, which are on the cutting edge of today's psychological practice.
