It's Time To Sleep.

Treatment for Insomnia & Sleep Anxiety in California

Why are you here?

You start thinking about sleep way before it's time to go to bed. Sometimes the anxiety about insomnia goes on all day, so while you are out of bed you spend your time thinking about being asleep. When you are in bed you spend your time thinking about being awake.

You can't fall asleep at bedtime, even if you were so tired earlier that you fell asleep on the couch or in your favorite chair.

You keep waking up all through the night and then the worry starts, the thoughts take over, and it is impossible to fall back into a deep sleep.

You are wide awake too early in the morning, way before your alarm, feeling the pressure to fall back asleep to get those last few hours in before it is time to get out of bed.

You have been to a sleep specialist for a full medical workup and there are no diagnosed medical issues causing the sleep disruption.

You have been taking medication to sleep and it's not really helping anymore OR your doctor has told you he/she can no longer prescribe the medication.

You have been to therapy, or some other type of treatment, and it did not resolve your insomnia!

Your mental health and physical wellbeing are suffering from constantly being consumed by insomnia.

So how will therapy help?

At some point when the struggle with sleep started, you probably adapted your behavior in an effort to get more sleep. Many efforts to help sleep actually make the insomnia worse. These include to trying to catch up on sleep or make up for lost sleep, spending more time in bed, or sleeping anytime/anywhere you can in an attempt to just feel better!

Thoughts and feelings about sleep and being in your bed also change as insomnia continues. Sleep becomes a very stressful and difficult experience, rather than a relaxing and naturally occurring event.

We will work together with a specific, clinically recommended insomnia treatment program to change your behaviors and thoughts related to sleep. Essentially, it means re-teaching your body how to sleep on its own and build sleep confidence.
