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 sleep 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, OCD, 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 for insomnia therapy in Overland Park and Cambridge to start sleeping better.

FAQS FOR Insomnia therapy in overland park, ks & cambridge, ma

  • We begin by exploring what’s going on with your sleep—including your routines, daytime stress, bedtime behaviors, and thinking patterns around sleep. Over time, I guide you through structured tools and exercises (especially CBT-I) to shift habits, calm the mind before bed, and reshape unhelpful thinking about sleep. Together we track progress week by week and adjust the plan so the changes stick.

  • I support people experiencing trouble falling asleep, waking up in the middle of the night, waking too early, fragmented sleep, or racing thoughts that prevent rest. Whether it’s a long-standing sleep issue or something that’s developed during a stressful life transition or burnout period, I can help.

  • It depends a bit on the pattern and how long sleep has been disrupted, but many clients begin noticing small improvements within a few weeks of doing the sleep tracking and applying the techniques from sleep therapy (especially from CBT-I). Over several months, patterns shift more strongly and sleep becomes more consistent. I support you in pacing the process sustainably and celebrating small shifts.

  • The length of sleep therapy is different for everyone. Your pace depends on your unique sleep pattern, what’s contributing to the insomnia, and how you respond to the strategies we use together. I tailor the process to your needs, adjust along the way, and make sure the work feels manageable and supportive so you can build lasting, healthy sleep habits.

  • You can schedule a free consultation call with me, where we’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what your sleep struggles look like, and what you hope to achieve. From there, we can decide together whether individual therapy (or a targeted sleep plan) is the right next step.
