A behavioral sleep specialist is a professional who specializes in the assessment and treatment of sleep disorders and disturbances using behavioral interventions. These specialists have expertise in understanding the behavioral, psychological, and environmental factors that can impact sleep quality and quantity.
Behavioral sleep specialists employ a variety of evidence-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), stimulus control therapy, sleep restriction therapy, relaxation techniques, and sleep hygiene education. These techniques aim to address underlying factors contributing to sleep disturbances and promote better sleep habits.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a structured, evidence-based approach aimed at improving sleep by addressing thoughts, behaviors, and habits that may contribute to insomnia. Unlike medications, CBT-I focuses on developing healthy sleep patterns and changing behaviors that hinder restful sleep. It often involves techniques such as sleep restriction, stimulus control, cognitive restructuring, and relaxation strategies. CBT-I is known for its effectiveness in treating insomnia and is a key component of my sleep coaching approach. If you have specific questions about CBT-I or how it may benefit you, feel free to discuss it during your initial consultation.
My 6-week sleep coaching package is a comprehensive program designed to address your specific sleep challenges and goals. This package includes:

  • Initial Assessment:A thorough analysis of your current sleep patterns, challenges, and goals, including a review of your medical history to ensure a holistic understanding of your unique situation.

  • Personalized Sleep Plan: A tailored plan to address your unique needs, incorporating evidence-based techniques.

  • Bi-Weekly Sessions: Regular one-on-one sessions to monitor progress, discuss challenges, and refine strategies.

  • Progress Tracking: Ongoing assessment of your sleep improvements and adjustments to the plan as needed.

  • Between-Session [E-mail] Support: Access to support and guidance between sessions to ensure continuous progress.

To ensure that my 6-week program is the right fit for you, I conduct an initial assessment to better understand your sleep patterns and challenges. This assessment helps to rule out other potential causes of sleep disturbances, such as medical conditions, which should be addressed or explored by your healthcare professional before starting the program.
Yes, in addition to personalized coaching sessions, I may provide supplementary resources such as sleep journals, relaxation exercises, and educational materials tailored to your specific sleep challenges and goals. These resources are designed to complement the coaching sessions and support your progress between sessions.
While individual results may vary, many clients start to notice improvements in their sleep within the first few weeks of the program. Consistency with implementing the recommended strategies and techniques is key to achieving lasting improvements in sleep quality.

Absolutely, I can provide guidance and support to help you gradually taper off sleeping pills safely. However, it's essential to collaborate with your healthcare provider throughout this process to ensure it aligns with your overall health and well-being. I recommend discussing your desire to discontinue sleeping pills with your doctor or pharmacist to develop a personalized plan tailored to your needs.
