CBT-I Therapy for Insomnia – Virtual Sessions in IL, FL, CO, WI & VT

SLEEP CAN BE YOURS AGAIN

Finally, an evidence-based way to sleep again.

If you’ve been lying awake for hours, waking up at 3 a.m., or feeling like your body just forgot how to rest — you’re not alone. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the gold-standard treatment for chronic insomnia, recommended by the American College of Physicians.

I offer one-on-one CBT-I therapy through virtual sessions to adults in Illinois, Florida, Colorado, Wisconsin, and Vermont.

No medication. No sleep gimmicks. Just real, lasting relief.

What is CBT-I?

CBT-I is a short-term, highly effective therapy that helps retrain your brain and body to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

In five sessions, we’ll address the thoughts, behaviors, and habits that keep your sleep system stuck in overdrive. Unlike medication, CBT-I gets to the root of the problem — without sides effects — and delivers lasting results. You will learn exactly how your sleep drive system works so you always know which levers to pull to maximize sleep, no matter what you have going on in life.

YOU MIGHT BENEFIT FROM CBT-I IF YOU:

Struggle to fall asleep even though you feel tired

The evening is winding down, you’re feeling pretty tired and ready to head to bed. So you turn off the lights and lay down. And then it happens. Something in your brain switches and suddenly you’re wide awake again. To-do lists and regrets about the weird thing you said in a meeting earlier start swirling around in your head. You put on your sleep meditation, cozy up under a weighted blanket, and put on your sleep mask, but it doesn’t work. It seems like the harder you try to fall asleep, the more awake you become.

Find yourself awake in the middle of the night

Maybe you’ve been falling asleep pretty well, but then you find yourself waking back up once, twice, or 15 times during the night. Sometimes you’re awake for just a few minutes, but other times you can be up staring at the ceiling and listening to your partner snore for hours. You try deep breathing exercises, saying the alphabet backwards, and switching up your sleep positions but nothing helps. You finally fall back to sleep, only for your alarm to go off a few minutes later.

Wake up too early and can’t get back to sleep

You might be the one who seems to sleep pretty well, except you’re up for the day at 3am despite the fact that your alarm isn’t set to go off until 7. This isn’t sustainable because it leaves you exhausted by lunchtime. You’ve tried pushing your bedtime later, using blackout curtains to make sure not even the moonlight could be signaling you to wake up, and refusing to get out of bed until the alarm goes off. But none of it has made any difference.
