Sleep Support

Restoring Sleep—for You or Your Family

Whether you're an exhausted parent or someone who hasn’t had a full night’s sleep in months, struggling with sleep can feel both invisible and all-consuming. The effects ripple into every part of life—your mental health, your relationships, your focus, your ability to cope.

I offer psychotherapy-based sleep support in Collingwood, Ontario, and virtually across most provinces in Canada, with a focus on:

  • Adults living with insomnia or poor-quality sleep

  • Parents and caregivers navigating child and infant sleep challenges

You don’t have to push through on your own. There’s a path to rest—and we’ll find it together.

Insomnia Support for Adults

Poor sleep isn’t always about stress or bad habits. For many people, insomnia becomes a learned cycle—where the harder you try to sleep, the more elusive sleep becomes.

I work with clients experiencing:

  • Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep

  • Waking for long periods in the night

  • Waking too early

  • Waking feeling unrested

  • Sleep disruptions connected to anxiety, trauma, or hormonal shifts

  • Ongoing fatigue despite “doing everything right”

We approach sleep from a therapeutic foundation that respects your history, your nervous system, and the real challenges that make rest feel out of reach.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the most effective treatment for chronic insomnia. It’s backed by decades of research and recommended as the first-line treatment by medical and mental health organizations around the world.

CBT-I is a structured, collaborative process where we:

  • Identify patterns—mental, emotional, and behavioural—that are disrupting your sleep

  • Strengthen your body’s natural sleep cues and rhythms

  • Use evidence-based tools to reduce anxiety around sleep

  • Create a plan to help you maintain better sleep over time

CBT-I is effective not only for insomnia itself, but also for improving symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma. When your sleep stabilizes, your brain can better regulate emotion, memory, focus, and stress.

CBT-I: The Gold Standard for Insomnia

Sleep challenges affect the entire household. And when your child isn't sleeping, everything—from relationships to resilience—gets harder.

Sleep Support for Families and Parents

I offer compassionate support for families navigating:

  • Infant or child sleep struggles

  • Bedtime battles or limit-setting fatigue

  • Parent exhaustion and misaligned approaches to sleep

  • Postpartum overwhelm that’s being made worse by sleep deprivation

This is a therapeutic process, not a prescriptive solution. Together, we’ll:

  • Explore the emotional load of parenting while sleep-deprived

  • Find realistic, values-aligned strategies for your family

  • Involve both parents or caregivers so you’re working as a team

  • Prioritize rest—not just for the child, but for everyone in the home

Who I Work With

  • Adults with chronic insomnia or poor-quality sleep

  • Parents navigating sleep struggles in the postpartum or early years

  • Individuals experiencing sleep disruptions related to perimenopause, anxiety, or trauma

  • Families looking for a respectful, evidence-based alternative to sleep training

Sessions are offered as part of my broader psychotherapy practice. There are no one-size-fits-all solutions here—we’ll work together to identify what’s keeping you from rest and how to move toward meaningful change.
