I work with young adults and adults, offering sessions via telehealth. I specialize in treating chronic insomnia through CBT-I, which is a short, structured, effective and evidence-based treatment for insomnia. I also specialize in working with anxiety disorders and depression, and I often see these co-occurring with insomnia. Perhaps you have been trying to work through this on your own or hoping it would just resolve itself, but you have reached a point where you need some extra support. I'm always honored when a client chooses me to help them, and I take the responsibility very seriously.

Do you ever feel like bedtime isn't a relief, but a punishment? Like you're walking toward the gallows instead of toward rest? Do you wake up in the middle of the night, stare at the ceiling, and mutter—"Not again"? Maybe you've tried the teas, the blackout curtains, the apps, the influencers' rituals. And yet… still awake. If so, you're in good company. I've specialized in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) for over 10 years, and I've seen this exact pattern hundreds of times—in clients who now sleep soundly.

And if you've struggled with insomnia for any length of time ...
