Insomnia Treatment
Comprehensive Sleep Assessment
Insomnia affects mood, cognition, emotional regulation, and overall functioning. Chronic sleep disruption can worsen anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, and medical conditions, while also reducing resilience to stress.
My approach to insomnia is structured, evidence‑based, and individualized, with a focus on restoring sustainable, restorative sleep rather than short‑term symptom suppression.
Effective treatment begins with a careful evaluation of sleep patterns and contributing factors. Insomnia often exists alongside psychiatric conditions, medical issues, circadian rhythm disruption, or maladaptive sleep behaviors.
Assessment may include a detailed sleep history, review of sleep‑wake timing, duration, quality, and variability, as well as identification of factors such as stress, shift work, caregiving demands, or medication effects. The goal is to understand why sleep is disrupted rather than assuming a single cause.
Identifying Contributing Conditions
Insomnia rarely occurs in isolation. Anxiety, depression, trauma‑related symptoms, ADHD, chronic stress, and mood disorders frequently contribute to difficulty falling or staying asleep.
Treatment prioritizes identifying and addressing these contributing conditions in parallel with sleep‑focused interventions. Improving sleep often enhances overall psychiatric stability, while untreated co‑occurring conditions can undermine even well‑designed sleep strategies.
