For individuals who are neurodivergent, including those with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, learning differences, or other neurodivergence, sleep challenges are common and can feel especially complex. Sleep difficulties are often intertwined with sensory sensitivities, differences in circadian rhythms, heightened anxiety, and challenges with transitions and routines.
When sleep is disrupted, it can impact every part of life, from emotional regulation to focus, behavior, and overall well-being. For children, teens, and adults alike, improving sleep can be a key step toward feeling better during the day and building resilience for life's demands.
I provide specialized support for neurodivergent individuals and families facing sleep challenges, using a compassionate, individualized, and evidence-based approach. My work draws from behavioral sleep medicine, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and a deep understanding of the unique needs and strengths of neurodivergent people.
Together, we focus on:
Understanding how neurodiversity may affect sleep patterns
Building flexible and sustainable bedtime routines
Addressing sensory sensitivities and environmental factors
Managing nighttime anxiety and bedtime struggles
Supporting transitions around sleep in ways that honor individual needs
Helping caregivers and families feel more confident and supported
Whether you are navigating difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, waking too early, or managing nighttime behaviors, there are effective strategies that can help. Sleep support does not need to be one-size-fits-all, and with the right approach, better rest is possible.
If you or your child are experiencing sleep challenges alongside neurodiversity, I’m here to help.
