Other Types of Treatment

Tailoring Sleep Treatment to Your Unique Needs

The strategies we use in our work together will depend on the specific sleep challenges you're experiencing. In addition to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I draw from a range of evidence-based behavioral, cognitive, and educational approaches to support lasting improvements in sleep.

Here are a few examples of other treatment approaches I use, depending on the situation:

• Children with sleep difficulties: Behavioral interventions that focus on routines, reinforcement, and building independent sleep skills

• Circadian rhythm disorders: Strategies such as adjusting sleep-wake schedules, designing consistent evening and morning routines, and using light exposure to shift the body clock

• CPAP adherence: Gentle, step-by-step desensitization techniques to help individuals feel more comfortable using their CPAP device

• Nightmares and bad dreams: Image Rehearsal Therapy (IRT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Nightmares, which help reduce the frequency and emotional intensity of distressing dreams

Each treatment plan is personalized, flexible, and guided by the most current sleep science with your comfort and goals always at the center of the process.
