Do you ever feel like bedtime isn't a relief, but a punishment? Like you're walking toward the gallows instead of toward rest?
Do you wake up in the middle of the night, stare at the ceiling, and mutter—"Not again"?

If so, you're in good company. I've specialized in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) for over 10 years, and I've seen this exact pattern hundreds of times—in clients who now sleep soundly.
Renowned clinical psychologist, Marsha Linehan, once said that when we're distressed, we really only have three choices: change the way we think, change the way we act, or remain utterly miserable. And if you've struggled with insomnia for any length of time ...

My training was completed at the Veterans Administration (VA), where I received specialized training and supervision in multiple evidence-based psychotherapeutic interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).
