Sleep Health for Children

Helping your family find a path to more restful nights.

Disruptions to sleep impact the entire family and can feel overwhelming, especially when you're tired. When you're ready to tackle your child’s sleep challenges and help your family feel rested again, I am here to help.

I have specialized training in the field of behavioral sleep medicine. I use behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, and other non-pharmacological interventions to treat sleep difficulties and sleep disorders in children, adolescents, and young adults. I also work closely with parents to educate them about the processes underlying disrupted sleep and to develop an individualized plan for improving their child’s sleep

Childhood sleep concerns that I help parents address include:

• Difficulty falling asleep

• Difficulty staying asleep overnight

• Waking too early in the morning

• Bedtime resistance

• Nightmares

• Sleep terrors, sleep walking, sleep talking

• Helping children adjust to falling asleep on their own

• Anxiety at bedtime

• Transitioning from a crib to a bed

• Child transitioning to sleeping in their own room

• Difficulty waking in the morning

• Currently sleeping at a time that doesn’t fit with the schedule needed for day-to-day activities

• Difficulty wearing CPAP
