Chronic insomnia is very debilitating. During bouts of disrupted sleep, it can feel like your sleep system is broken and it will never work again. When you haven’t slept well in many weeks, it becomes difficult to think of anything else except “how can I or when will I sleep again?” ​ Unfortunately, during these periods of poor sleep we tend to engage in behaviors that may feel good in the short term (napping, spending excessive time in bed, going to bed very early, resting a lot, conserving energy, delaying living) but these coping behaviors actually perpetuate insomnia. ​ During CBTi, I will ask you to complete daily sleep diaries so I can get a very clear understanding of how you are currently sleeping and I want to know your “sleep story” – how your insomnia began, and what thoug ...

I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP), with a special focus on the treatment of insomnia. Since completing my doctorate over 10 years ago, my clinical practice has included working with individuals with a broad range of mental health disorders at both the VA and in the community using medication management and psychotherapeutic strategies (ACT and DBT). Throughout my time as a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I have been struck by the relationship between sleep and mental health, across disorders, and the importance of addressing sleep to improve functioning and overall well-being.

In addition to CBT-I, I provide consultation on the effect of medications o ...

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 — 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 medications, and tr ...

I am a Family Nurse Practitioner currently working as a Psychiatric Provider. I have a diverse background including Women's Health, Primary Care and Holistic health care approaches. I am also a retired Navy Reservist. As a medical provider I have a unique perspective on sleeping issues. Along with behavioral health issues, I am able to evaluate whether medications or chronic conditions are contributing to insomnia. Mental disorders such as PTSD, anxiety and depression commonly effect sleep patterns. I believe that sleep is the cornerstone to mental and physical health as well as healthy aging.
