when sleep feels impossible

Unmade bed in dim light representing sleepless nights, restlessness, and the struggles of insomnia.

you’ve tried everything:

Shutting screens off early. Drinking warm tea. Using a white noise machine. But your brain still won’t turn off at night. You lie awake checking or watching the clock, dreading how you’ll feel tomorrow.

You might be thinking:

“If I fall asleep now, I can still get five hours…”

“What if I’m this tired during my meeting tomorrow?”

“Why can’t I just sleep like a normal person?”

the frustration of sleepless nights

You’re doing all the “right” things, like shutting down screens, trying meditation, or maybe even cutting down caffeine, but sleep still feels out of reach. You might notice:

  • Lying awake for hours while your mind races through to-do lists, worries, or random thoughts

  • Waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to fall back asleep

  • Feeling exhausted during the day, relying on caffeine just to function

  • Dreading bedtime because you already know you won’t sleep

  • Feeling irritable, foggy, or unmotivated because rest never feels restorative

  • Wondering what’s wrong with you because nothing seems to help

how therapy helps you sleep better

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), the gold standard for treating chronic sleep problems, to reset your sleep cycle and quiet the racing thoughts that keep you awake. Together, we will:

  • Track your sleep patterns and identify what’s disrupting them

  • Build healthy sleep habits and routines

  • Teach your brain to associate bed with rest again

  • Reduce worry about sleep so you can actually drift off

    Trouble sleeping often affects more than just your nights. If anxiety or intrusive thoughts keep you awake, check out anxiety and OCD therapy, or explore perfectionism and burnout therapy if overworking and stress are interfering with rest.

the goal: restorative sleep

With the right approach, you can wake up feeling refreshed and ready for the day. Schedule a consultation to start sleeping better.
