If trying to sleep has become something you dread—lying awake with a racing mind, watching the clock, bracing for another day of exhaustion—you’re not alone. And more importantly: you don’t have to keep living this way. I’m a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience helping people break free from patterns that feel impossible to change.

Bad sleep can have a profound impact on so many things, including our mood and anxiety, relationships, outlook on life, and productivity.

My work is grounded in the science of neurobiology, mental health, ...

I am a sleep psychologist specializing in helping moms fall asleep and stay asleep without medication. Sleep problems can develop at any time in your life--especially during major transitions. Motherhood and being a woman is full of many changes that can cause sleep problems. Hormone changes, such as pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause all impact our sleep. Our life patterns and schedules shift too, whether it be the baby finally sleeping through the night (but we're wide awake, anxiously waiting for them to wake up), early morning school schedules, busy & stressful work weeks, late night sports practices, an empty house; every phase of life changes everything. The stress, anxiety, the shifts in routine, can all cause us to have disrupted sleep. As a sleep psychologist I always ...
