Currently accepting clients virtually across Nova Scotia and Ontario for individual CBT for Insomnia.
I am formally trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), the leading evidence-based treatment for chronic insomnia. I also draw on principles from CBT, DBT, and ACT to help you manage intense emotions, tolerate distress, and set boundaries, outside of the CBT-I protocol. My approach is steady and non-judgmental, whether sleep is your main concern or one part of a bigger picture.

If you've been lying awake night after night, exhausted but unable to sleep, you already know that willpower and sleep hygiene tips aren't enough. Chronic insomnia has a way of becoming self-sustaining, the more you try to fix it, the worse it gets. CBT-I breaks that cycle by targeting the thoughts and behaviors that are keeping your sleep broken, without medication and without an indefinite course of treatment.
Most of my clients with insomnia are high-functioning adults who have been managing poor sleep for months or years, often alongside anxiety or depression. They've tried everything they can think of on their own. What they haven't tried is a structured, evidence-based approach designed specifically for the way insomnia actually works.
CBT-I is the gold-standard, first-line tre ...

Board Certified Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, Certified CBT-I Clinician with advanced training at Stanford’s Sleep Health and Insomnia Program. My training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Nonviolent Communication shapes how I listen and understand the nervous system. Sleep is shaped by your body, your history and your life. That whole picture is the context I work from.
My clients are women whose sleep has become effortful. Insomnia often arrives with a hormonal transition; pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause — and gets written off as normal for that stage. It can also follow a loss, a diagnosis, sustained stress, or have no clear cause. However you arrived here, suffering is never normal. Many women I work with have already tried sleep hygiene, sleep medicati ...

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, ...
