Hi! I’m Jessica and I’m a therapist who helps people struggling with insomnia to fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and decrease their anxiety around sleep. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Insomnia which is the gold standard for treating this condition. My clients say their insomnia is less severe and they feel much more functional during the day.

CBT for Insomnia is not sleep hygiene.
Sleep hygiene is good preventive care but is insufficient if you have chronic insomnia. Many (if not most) of those I see have tried sleep hygiene, didn’t see results, and assumed they did something wrong. CBT for Insomnia goes beyond sleep hygiene to increase your sleep drive, stabilize the timing of sleep and wakefulness, and lower the anxiety that might be interfering with your sleep.

What to Expect
CBT-I is typically 6-8 sessions and highly structured. I am confident we can adapt if the set structure doesn’t fully meet your needs. We start with an interview to be sure we’re really looking at insomnia, then work on education, implement new ideas, and make sure we have a plan for after we’re done.

I can also treat circadian rhythm disorders and nightmares.
