Sleep Therapy for Midlife Women in Oregon
A good night’s sleep is within reach.
Sessions available online and in-person in Salem.
I am completing advanced training in cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and am accepting a limited number of clients at a reduced rate.
Please schedule a consultation to discuss details!
You’ve tried all of the standard recommendations
and still not getting a good night’s sleep.
Many women notice changes in their sleep during midlife due to hormonal shifts, stress, and other changes in the body. Behavioral sleep therapy provides practical, research-based strategies to improve sleep and support healthy sleep patterns over time. These strategies can be used alongside treatments such as hormone therapy or on their own.
Sleep Therapy Without Medications That Helps You Rest With Ease
About Carrie
I support women in midlife who struggle with:
Falling asleep
Waking during the night
Early morning awakening
Feeling stressed and anxious about sleep
I’m a health educator and occupational therapist, trained in CBT-I through the Sleep Health and Insomnia Program at Stanford University. I help women reclaim restorative sleep using evidence-based strategies tailored to their lifestyle and challenges.
As a solo mom of a young kid, I understand the realities of disrupted nights and the frustration of poor sleep. I know how easy it is to fall into a cycle of trying harder and harder to sleep well, only to feel more stressed and exhausted! I bring this understanding to every client with whom I work.
In addition to working directly with clients on their sleep, I train other health providers in collaborative communication strategies. Learn more about my provider trainings here.
Together we’ll go beyond sleep hygiene recommendations to support your body’s natural ability to sleep soundly.
Most clients experience significant improvements in their sleep within 4-6 sessions, if not sooner.
Private-pay practice; insurance is not billed. Superbills available for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
How it Works
If we decide to work together after a consult, we’ll schedule an initial assessment where you can share more about your sleep issues and goals.
I’ll ask you to track your sleep using an app (I typically use the CBT-I Coach app) or pen and paper.
At each treatment session, we’ll review your sleep diary, discuss adjustments to your sleep schedule, and review other strategies to support your sleep.
Sessions may include
Sleep schedule review and adjustments
Nighttime wakefulness strategies
Tools for managing racing thoughts
Strategies for addressing environmental barriers to sleep
Why it Works
Evidence-based and recommended as first-line for insomnia, this approach focuses on:
- Supporting your body’s natural sleep drive
- Aligning your sleep schedule to work with your circadian rhythm
- Helping your body see your bed as a “cue” for sleep
