CBT-I: An Evidence-based Treatment for Insomnia

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), which is considered the gold standard treatment for chronic insomnia. CBT-I is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps improve sleep by addressing the behaviors, thought patterns, and worry that can maintain insomnia over time.

CBT-I is not simply about “sleep hygiene” or relaxation tips. It is a targeted treatment designed to help retrain the brain and body for healthier, more consistent sleep.

Depending on your needs, treatment may include:

Understanding how sleep and the nervous system work
Reducing anxiety around sleep
Improving sleep consistency and sleep drive
Changing patterns that unintentionally reinforce insomnia
Addressing racing thoughts and hyperarousal at night
Developing healthier responses to nighttime wakefulness
Improving overall stress management and emotional regulation

Common Sleep Concerns

I work with adults experiencing a variety of sleep-related concerns, including:

Difficulty falling asleep
Waking up frequently during the night
Waking up too early and struggling to fall back asleep
Racing thoughts at bedtime or in the middle of the night
Anxiety about sleep
Feeling “tired but wired”
Restless or unrefreshing sleep
Sleep disruption related to stress or burnout
Sleep problems connected to anxiety or panic attacks

Many people begin dreading bedtime or monitoring their sleep closely, which can unintentionally increase stress and make sleep even harder.

Based near Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch, I provide online CBT-I and therapy for insomnia to adults throughout Florida, along with limited in-person sessions in Lakewood Ranch.
