I'm Dr. Michelle Lyons and I treat insomnia and co-occurring anxiety in adults throughout CA and FL. It feels like your nights have become a battlefield where the harder you fight for rest, the further away it slips. You’re likely exhausted from laying awake for no good reason, watching the clock tick through the odd hours while tossing and turning in frustration. Whether it’s the disruption of repeated nightmares or the constant, nagging worry about whether you’ll get “enough” sleep to function, insomnia has a way of shrinking your world. You’ve likely tried everything, advice from doctors, suggestions from family, and every "trick" the internet has to offer, yet you still wake up feeling fatigued, with your mind stuck in a loop of thinking about sleep when you’d rather be thinking about literally anything else.

By utilizing CBT-I, the gold standard for chronic sleep issues, we move past basic advice and target the specific thoughts and behaviors that keep you awake. This isn't just about "relaxing"; it is a structured, evidence-based program designed to reset your body’s internal sleep drive and quiet the mental hyperarousal that makes your bed feel like a place of dread. We will work to break the cycle of "trying too hard" to sleep, helping you reclaim your energy and stop surviving your days so that you can actually start living them again.

I offer free 15-minute phone consultations to discuss your goals for therapy and how I can help you. Feel free to contact me through my website today.
