Addressing Sleep Challenges During Pregnancy and Postpartum

Sleep challenges during pregnancy and after the birth of a child can be incredibly exhausting, both physically and emotionally. While baby-related sleep disruption is a normal part of this life stage, insomnia and other sleep difficulties can take an additional toll on your mood, health, and overall well-being.

Finding ways to improve sleep during this time is crucial, not just for your own recovery and resilience, but also for your ability to care for your new baby and navigate all the changes that early parenthood brings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a highly effective, evidence-based intervention that can significantly improve sleep during the pregnancy and postpartum periods, all without the use of medication. CBT-I helps address the thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that may be keeping you from getting the rest you need.

Because I specialize in working with individuals across all ages, I can also support you in creating a sleep plan that nurtures both your sleep and your baby's sleep. We work together to develop strategies that take into account:

• The physical and hormonal changes affecting sleep during pregnancy

• The realities of newborn sleep patterns

• The emotional and psychological demands of new parenthood

• The need for flexible, sustainable sleep solutions that fit your family's unique needs

Whether you are struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, return to sleep after nighttime awakenings, or manage anxiety around sleep, you are not alone, and there are effective tools that can help.

If you are experiencing sleep challenges during pregnancy or the postpartum period, I am here to help you find a path to better rest, greater resilience, and a more manageable experience of early parenthood.
