If a medical doctor has ruled out medical causes of your sleep difficulties, it is likely that I am in a good position to help you. Sleep problems can stem from such wide-ranging causes as depressed mood, grief, intrusive distressing thoughts that won't leave you alone -- even if you don't really believe them, traumatic events in your past, life stress, how much coffee/caffeine you drink, pain, and unhelpful sleep habits or thoughts about sleep.

I've been practicing CBT since the 1970s and pivoted my practice to include CBTI following my initial training in 2016. Much of my work now emphasizes trauma-informed behavioral sleep medicine and I regularly attend seminars and workshops in addition to participating in sleep medicine training with the World Sleep Academy. Though I primarily work with insomnia, co-morbid insomnia & sleep apnea (COMISA), and sleep-wake phase misalignment, I also get referrals from physicians to assist their patients in eliminating sleep medications and getting desensitized to CPAP masks. I am licensed as a psychologist in both Florida and Missouri and work exclusively through telehealth using a HIPPA-compliant platform.

I focus my work at the intersection of sleep and mental health. If sleep isn’t restful, usually our mood, thinking, and day-to-day activities are affected. And vice versa–if we’re stressed or not feeling good, we may not be sleeping well. I can help you make changes to your sleep that will improve your mental health, and I can support you in managing your mental health so you can sleep better. No meds required--I only use cognitive and behavioral strategies that work.

We all experience trying times throughout our lives and we all deserve to live a life of joy and peace. Deciding to ask for help is not always easy, especially when it comes to mental health.
