  • CBT-I is the gold standard, evidence-based treatment for chronic insomnia. It is highly effective for women in midlife who have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early.

    CBT-I addresses the underlying habits, patterns, and routines that keep insomnia going, helping you achieve restorative sleep without medication. If sleep has been a persistent struggle, CBT-I is likely worth trying.

  • During my advanced training period (through August 2026), my rates are:

    • Initial sleep assessment (60 minutes): $115

    • Follow-up sessions (60 minutes): $100

    These rates reflect a reduced fee (50% off).

  • CBT-I is a short-term treatment. Most clients see considerable improvements in their sleep within 4-8 sessions following their initial assessment; some require even fewer. Your timeline will depend on your sleep patterns and the consistency with which the strategies are applied.

  • Sessions are available:

    • In person in Salem, OR or

    • Online for clients located in Oregon

  • I do not bill insurance directly. I am happy to provide a superbill that you may submit for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

    Coverage varies, so please check with your insurance provider about benefits for occupational therapy or insomnia treatment. I am happy to share billing codes in advance if you would like to check your out-of-network benefits.

  • I completed the CBT-I provider training through the Sleep Health and Insomnia Program at Stanford University. I have been a licensed occupational therapist since 2011 and am a Certified Health Education Specialist through the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing. I also train other providers - doctors, therapists, psychologists - in collaborative communication approaches.
