I have been a Behavioral Sleep Therapist for over 25 years and have developed Neuro-Somatic Therapy for Sleep (NST-S), publicly known as SleepEasy. This is an advanced form of cognitive-behavioral therapy based on Polyvagal Theory and the somatic treatment of trauma. This method incorporates specific somatic processes that open the neurological pathways to calm the mind, emotions, and body into sleep.
Since 2009, I have been the sleep therapist for Colorado’s largest primary care practice, which serves over 200,000 patients. I am the sleep therapist for Throttle & Thrive, a residential detox, substance misuse, and mental health facility exclusively for Law Enforcement Personnel, First Responders and Veterans.

If a medical doctor has ruled out medical causes of your sleep difficulties, it is likely that I am in a good position to help you. Sleep problems can stem from such wide-ranging causes as depressed mood, grief, intrusive distressing thoughts that won't leave you alone -- even if you don't really believe them, traumatic events in your past, life stress, how much coffee/caffeine you drink, pain, and unhelpful sleep habits or thoughts about sleep.

After working in a variety of settings, including in outpatient community mental health, a men's prison, a youth shelter, an inpatient psychiatric hospital, and a medical/surgical hospital, I found my way to private practice. In 2013, I became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I am a certified CBT-I clinician via Dr. Gregg Jacob's training program, and I have conducted individual CBT-I sessions - in office and remotely since 2015. I lean on mindfulness-based techniques as well as incorporating solution-focused brief therapy. In the United States, between 30-40% of the population suffers from insomnia. We know that medications are not the best long-term treatment option. CBT-I offers relief to most who participate in only a few sessions. I work with adults a ...

I've been practicing CBT since the 1970s and pivoted my practice to include CBTI following my initial training in 2016. Much of my work now emphasizes trauma-informed behavioral sleep medicine and I regularly attend seminars and workshops in addition to participating in sleep medicine training with the World Sleep Academy. Though I primarily work with insomnia, co-morbid insomnia & sleep apnea (COMISA), and sleep-wake phase misalignment, I also get referrals from physicians to assist their patients in eliminating sleep medications and getting desensitized to CPAP masks. I am licensed as a psychologist in both Florida and Missouri and work exclusively through telehealth using a HIPPA-compliant platform.
