That’s actually very common. Many of my clients come to me after trying therapy, medication, or even previous rounds of CBT-I or sleep coaching.

The DREAM SLEEP™ Insomnia Solution includes the proven strategies from CBT-I — but it’s not a one-size-fits-all plan. During our initial call, we look at what you’ve already tried and how your body has responded, then adjust the approach to fit you.

This is where ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) often comes in. ACT helps smooth the process by bringing a gentler, more mindful way to work with insomnia — reducing pressure and frustration while still creating change.

Unlike rigid programs that follow a fixed protocol, this coaching is flexible and collaborative.
I meet you where you are — honoring your pace, values, and readiness. My role is to guide, not dictate. Together, we decide what goals and strategies feel realistic and aligned for you.

No. This is a coaching program, not medical treatment.
I don’t diagnose conditions or prescribe medications.
My work focuses on behavior, mindset, and lifestyle — the areas proven to make the biggest difference in long-term sleep health. If I ever notice signs that you might need medical evaluation (for example, possible sleep apnea or hormonal issues), I’ll refer you to a licensed healthcare provider.

You don’t need a formal diagnosis to benefit from this program. In fact, many of my clients start out thinking their sleep problems are “just stress” or a busy schedule — until they realize how those patterns have trained their body to stay alert at night.

Whether your sleeplessness is driven by stress, lifestyle habits, or what might qualify as chronic insomnia, the process is the same: we identify what’s keeping your body in overdrive and retrain your system to relax and trust sleep again.

The good news is that these skills work across the spectrum — from occasional restless nights to long-term insomnia. You’ll learn how to calm your nervous system, reset your routines, and build habits that make good sleep feel natural and sustainable.

The time it takes to see improvements in sleep varies for each person. Some clients notice positive changes within the first few weeks — like falling asleep faster, waking less often, or feeling calmer at bedtime — while for others, it may take longer to reach their sleep goals. What matters most is consistency and commitment to the process. When you apply the tools step by step, your sleep steadily improves — and the results last long after the program ends.

Here’s what’s included:

• Weekly 1:1 coaching sessions (50 minutes each) focused on your progress, challenges, and next steps.

• Personalized sleep plan based on your current patterns, goals, and lifestyle — no generic templates.

• Messaging support between sessions so you can get guidance and accountability as you practice new habits.

• Sleep diary and reflection tools to track your progress and uncover helpful patterns.

• Science-based strategies from CBT-I and ACT to calm your mind, reduce sleep anxiety, and rebuild confidence in your body’s natural ability to rest.

• Gentle mindset and behavior coaching to make changes feel realistic and sustainable — not forced.

Each step builds on the last, helping you move from frustration and uncertainty to steady, restorative sleep that lasts.

It depends. Some people find that tracking their sleep helps them see patterns and progress more clearly — others find it stressful or discouraging. We’ll decide together what makes sense for you.

If we do use a sleep diary or reflection tool, it’s not about strict rules or judgment — it’s about building awareness so we can make small, sustainable changes. The goal is to understand your sleep, not control it.

Yes — absolutely. Even if you’ve struggled with insomnia for years (or decades), your brain and body can relearn how to sleep. It just takes the right approach and consistent support. Chronic insomnia often continues because your system has learned to stay on alert, not because it’s broken. With the right guidance, we can gradually reverse that pattern and rebuild trust in your body’s natural ability to rest. Many of my clients have been dealing with sleep issues for years before finally finding relief — and you can, too. It’s never too late to change how you sleep.

Sleep coaching isn’t typically covered by insurance. However, some clients have successfully used HSA or FSA funds with a Letter of Medical Necessity from their doctor.
I’m happy to provide an itemized invoice if you’d like to check with your plan administrator.

Working with me is not about quick fixes or rigid sleep rules. The DREAM SLEEP™ approach is a personalized, evidence-based process designed to help you rebuild trust in your body’s natural ability to rest.

I blend CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) — the gold-standard treatment for chronic insomnia — with mindfulness and acceptance tools from ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and motivation techniques from Motivational Interviewing. This mix creates a science-backed and compassionate framework that meets you where you are.

My coaching style is collaborative and client-centered. I’ll guide you step by step, but you’ll always set the pace and choose what feels doable. Together, we uncover what’s keeping you stuck, calm your nervous system, and create lasting change — without pressure or perfectionism.

It’s not about forcing sleep — it’s about learning to trust it again.
