Evidence-Based Sleep Therapy | Telehealth Therapy in MA, VT, RI

What is CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia)?

CBT-I is the gold standard, evidence-based treatment for chronic insomnia and sleep disorders. This specialized therapy addresses the thoughts, behaviors, and habits that interfere with healthy sleep, helping you develop sustainable sleep patterns without relying on sleep medications.

As a doctoral-level clinical psychologist with specialized training in sleep therapy, I provide expert CBT-I treatment to help you achieve restorative sleep and improve your overall quality of life.

How Does CBT-I Work?

CBT-I addresses both the cognitive and behavioral factors that maintain insomnia through:

Identifying and changing thoughts and beliefs that interfere with sleep
Modifying sleep-related behaviors and habits
Regulating your sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm)
Teaching relaxation techniques for better sleep
Creating a personalized sleep plan that works for your lifestyle
