Insomnia therapy for better sleep

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the
first-line treatment for chronic insomnia
Premera and Lifewise accepted · Free 15-minute consultation
You’re tired. You want to sleep. But when bedtime comes, your body or mind aren’t cooperating.
Maybe you lie awake for hours, wake up in the night and can’t fall back asleep, or wake up too early and watch the clock. After enough nights like this, sleep starts to feel like work instead of something that happens naturally.
CBT-I gives you a structured way to understand what’s keeping you awake and change the patterns that keep the cycle going. It’s the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia, and it can help you sleep again with less effort and worry.

Therapy for Insomnia in Seattle & Washington
Therapy gives you a place to understand what’s keeping you awake and begin changing the patterns that contribute to insomnia.
Together, we look at your sleep patterns, routines, and the thoughts and behaviors that can make sleep feel like something you have to work at.
Our conversations explore how insomnia affects your days, your mood, and your relationship with sleep. We work toward creating less worry around bedtime and greater confidence in your ability to sleep.
SIGNS YOU MIGHT BE A GREAT FIT FOR INSOMNIA THERAPY
Therapy may be a good fit for you if you’re navigating:
Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep.
Waking up too early and struggling to get back to sleep.
Worrying about sleep or dreading bedtime.
Feeling exhausted or foggy during the day.
Trying everything you can to sleep, but nothing seems to stick.
If this happens three or more nights a week for three months or longer, it may be chronic insomnia, and CBT-I is designed for it.

Frequently Asked Questions about Insomnia Therapy
-
Insomnia can begin for many reasons, including stress, life changes, illness, or hormonal changes. Even when the original trigger passes, changes in your sleep patterns can keep insomnia going. CBT-I helps you identify and change those patterns so you can sleep more consistently.
-
Being tired doesn’t always mean your brain and body are ready for sleep. Stress, worry about sleep, inconsistent schedules, and spending too much time awake in bed can all contribute to ongoing insomnia.
-
CBT-I helps identify the thoughts, behaviors, and sleep patterns that contribute to insomnia. Sessions focus on practical strategies to improve sleep and reduce the worry and frustration that often develop around it.
-
I'm in-network with Premera and Lifewise. If you have a different plan, self-pay is available. I provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement, and many clients receive significant reimbursement that lowers the overall cost. I'd recommend contacting your insurance company to ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits.
-
Nighttime awakenings are common among all sleepers, but repeatedly staying awake in bed can strengthen the association between bed and wakefulness. CBT-I addresses these patterns to help your brain reconnect bed with sleep.
-
Many people with chronic insomnia have already tried supplements, sleep aids, routines, or other strategies. CBT-I takes a different approach by addressing the patterns that may be maintaining your insomnia rather than simply trying harder to sleep.
-
Most people complete CBT-I in about 6-8 weekly sessions.
-
No, I don’t manage medication, so any changes stay between you and your prescriber.
-
Loud snoring or breathing pauses should be checked by your doctor. It can happen alongside insomnia, and I coordinate with your other providers as needed.
