NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR SLEEP SUPPORT!

Rest is Foundational to Wellbeing.

1. Emotional Regulation

2. Learning & Flexibility

3. Quality of Life

Children and adults, when unrested, struggle to keep emotional reactions proportionate to their triggers. This can also impact social relationships over time.

Sleep is when we build longterm memories and solidify what we have learned in the day. It is very difficult to build new skills when we aren't rested!

Sleep contributes longterm health outcomes, as well as the enriching activities we are able to access throughout our day.

Build Skills in the Day to Gradually Ease the Night

Fun fact: You don't need to implement a sleep support plan right at bedtime, when everyone is tired. Sleep can be improved by working on many skills and habits that we engage in throughout the day anyway. Personalized support plans may include ways to improve upon skills such as:

  • Transitioning between activities

  • Following structured, regular routines

  • Moving into a state of calm and quiet when sleep is not the goal

  • Understanding object (or person!) permanence

  • Doing enough so that we feel tired at the right time

The Process

  1. Medical screening: You will be sent a checklist asking about medical variables that could be impacting your sleep. This will inform personalized support strategies, or referrals to related professionals necessary for your care.

  2. Sleep Journal: You will need to record several variables around your sleep routines for about a week. Variables will be customized to your priorities.

  3. Assessment: An in-depth discussion about you (or your child's) current sleep routines, goals and priorities.

  4. Goal Planning: I will take time to draft a support plan, and we will adjust it together to make sure it's doable for you.

  5. Implementation Support & Progress Monitoring: Check-in calls as needed to review progress or troubleshoot bumps that come up along the way.

All direct services take place over a secure video call platform, or phone call as needed.
