Sleep affects everything, and when it's a consistent issue, the smallest things can feel overwhelming. Tired but wired is not how to live, and it doesn't have to be! I am an LPCC working in Sartell, and an LMHC working via telehealth in IA, who specializes in behavioral sleep medicine and I enjoy working with those struggling with sleep issues like insomnia by providing psychoeducation and CBT-I. If you have difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, waking up too earlier, sleeping too long, or nightmares, CBT-I and behavioral sleep medicine are among the best routes to address them.
I have completed CBT-I training and am pursuing the DBSM certification as well as a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. My goal is to work with sleep and mental health as a sleep psychologist once I am done. ...

Ryan F.P. Robertson Featured
I take a scientific and person-centered approach that integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), neurocounseling, and other evidence-based practices (EBPs) to help you achieve restorative, lasting sleep.
CBT-I is recognized by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine as the gold standard for chronic insomnia, including when insomnia occurs alongside other conditions. The American College of Physicians also recommends CBT-I as the first-line treatment for insomnia before medication. Research shows that most people experience noticeable improvement in four to eight weeks, and the benefits are long-term — unlike sleep medications, which are intended for short-term relief and show limited lasting effect.
My work is grounded in the science of neurobiology, mental health, ...
