Sleep Disorders & Insomnia

When sleep is off, everything feels harder-mood, focus, patience, even physical health. I begin with a thorough insomnia evaluation or broader sleep assessment to understand your patterns, routines, and medical factors before recommending next steps.

For many people, sleep hygiene counseling brings meaningful change by reshaping evening routines, light exposure, and daily habits that quietly sabotage rest. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia then addresses worry, unhelpful beliefs about sleep, and patterns like clock-watching or staying in bed awake for hours.

If symptoms suggest sleep apnea or another medical concern, I provide sleep apnea screening and guidance on appropriate follow-up. Circadian rhythm disorder treatment can be especially helpful if your body clock feels "out of sync," such as shift work or delayed sleep schedules.

When medication is part of the plan, sleep disorder medication management focuses on safety, effectiveness, and timing. I also support children, teens, and veterans whose sleep problems often intertwine with anxiety, trauma, or chronic stress. The goal is simple but powerful: waking up rested enough to participate fully in your life again.
