Sleep Disorders Care for Nights That Won’t Settle
I work with sleep disorders when trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting enough rest has started to affect the rest of life. We’ll look at what the nights are like, what the days feel like, and what may be part of the pattern.
What people bring me
People often come in exhausted, frustrated, and stuck in a cycle where bad sleep changes everything else. They may lie awake with a racing mind, wake up too early, or feel unrefreshed no matter how long they’ve been in bed. Over time, sleep problems can affect mood, focus, patience, and the ability to get through ordinary demands. Many people want a careful look at what might be connected to it, including stress, mood, or medication questions.
- I lie awake even when I’m exhausted.
- I wake up too early and can’t get back to sleep.
- My sleep is all over the place.
- I’m worn out all day because I don’t rest well at night.
I pay attention to sleep as part of the whole picture, not in isolation.
How I work with it
I use conversation and clinical assessment to understand symptoms, health history, and what has or has not helped before. Your plan may include medication management, brief CBT or motivational interviewing informed counseling, or a combination of these services. I monitor how treatment is going and may discuss pharmacogenetic testing when medication selection needs more information. When sleep is tied to worry, mood, or stress, I keep the conversation centered on how those pieces fit together.
- Medication Management
- For sleep concerns, medication management may be part of looking at what’s keeping nights unsettled. I review how things are going and keep the plan under consideration as we learn more.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Brief CBT informed counseling can help us look at the habits, thoughts, and routines that shape sleep. The work is practical and connected to the real rhythm of your nights.
- Motivational Interviewing
- This can help when sleep habits are hard to change or when the pattern feels discouraging. I use it to talk through what’s important and what feels workable.
- Pharmacogenetic Testing
- If medication selection needs more information, I may discuss this as part of the process. It can be useful when we’re considering how to choose medication with more context.
What the first sessions look like
The first sessions focus on what sleep looks like night by night and what the daytime fallout has been. I ask about health history, medication history, and what’s helped or hasn’t helped before. Bring a sleep record if you already have one; it doesn’t need to be perfect.
I offer a free 15-minute consultation. I reply as soon as I can, usually within 1 business day.
Questions people ask
Can sleep problems be part of mood issues?
Yes, they often come up together in the people I see. I look at sleep along with mood, stress, and medication history.
Do you ask about what I do at night?
Yes, the details matter. I’ll ask about your bedtime pattern, what happens when you try to sleep, and how the day after feels.
What if I’m too tired to explain everything well?
That’s okay. We can start with the parts you notice most, and I’ll help fill in the picture with questions.
Will you just give me medication for sleep?
Not necessarily. Your plan may include medication management, brief CBT or motivational interviewing informed counseling, or a combination of these services.
