What is your process like?
We start with a free 15-minute phone consultation. During this call, I’ll listen to your reasons for seeking services, share more about my approach, and answer any questions you may have. If you decide to move forward, you’ll complete intake paperwork and schedule an initial consultation.
The first session is a thorough intake where I ask detailed questions to fully understand your concerns and goals. During follow-up sessions we will get to work on strategies to improve your sleep (or your child's sleep). Sleep interventions are designed to be short-term, evidence-based, and solution-focused.
Do you take insurance?
No, I do not accept insurance and am out-of-network with all insurance companies. However, I can provide a superbill (an itemized receipt) upon request, which you may submit to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement depending on your out-of-network benefits.
What is Behavioral Sleep Medicine?
Behavioral Sleep Medicine is a field of research and clinical care focused on treating sleep difficulties through non-medication approaches. It uses evidence-based cognitive and behavioral strategies to improve sleep health for individuals across the lifespan.
You can find more helpful information through the Society of Behavioral Sleep Medicine.
Do CBT-I and Behavioral Sleep Medicine interventions work for people who are pregnant, postpartum, menopausal, or managing chronic illness, pain, or other medical conditions?
Yes!
CBT-I and Behavioral Sleep Medicine approaches are especially well-suited for individuals in unique stages of life or dealing with other health conditions. Because these interventions focus on cognitive and behavioral changes rather than medication, they are an excellent option for people who prefer to avoid or minimize medication use. Research shows that CBT-I is as effective as sleep medications, but without the use of medications.
I have already tried so many things to fix my sleep (or my child's sleep). Is it really worth meeting with you?
Yes!
Many individuals and families come to me feeling frustrated, discouraged, or convinced that they have already tried everything. My approach is highly individualized and evidence-based. I focus on identifying the unique factors contributing to your (or your child's) sleep challenges and creating a plan that is realistic, targeted, and personalized.
Even if previous strategies haven't worked, there is still hope. Together, we can find a new path forward.
What is a Good Faith Estimate?
When you are working with a provider who is out of network with your insurance, you have a right to receive information in advance about how much your treatment will cost. During the intake process, I will send you an estimate of how much I expect our work together to cost. More details are below under "Good Faith Estimate Notice."
Good Faith Estimate Notice
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Your health care provider must give you a Good Faith Estimate in writing for scheduled services within designated timeframes. You can also ask your health care provider for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call HHS at (800) 368-1019.
