You Can Sleep Well!

I have been a behavioral sleep therapist for 25 years and serve nationally as a sleep consultant. I work with several large medical groups in Colorado serving over 300,000 patients.

I have been a psychotherapist for decades, specializing in mind-body medicine. Years ago, as a result of a major life crisis, I developed severe insomnia. I didn’t want to become dependent upon sleep medication and other sleep methods weren’t effective. I spent years Dr. Richard Shane, Ph.D internally exploring my own insomnia—what was happening in my body and mind during the hours it would take to fall asleep or back to sleep.

From that, I was able to unlock the code of how the mind and body fall asleep. With that knowledge, combined with additional years of research, I created the Sleep Easy method. People report SleepEasy feels like the natural way sleep happens, not like artificially-created methods characteristic of other approaches.

Because I personally experienced—and resolved—insomnia, I know how devastating it is.

Because I am nationally known for my sleep program, I work with people nationwide—and people who are local—via a secure online video telehealth platform. This is just as effective as in-person treatment, while allowing you to be in the comfort of your own home with the convenience of not having to travel.

“Sleep Easy saved my life. After being on Ambien for 15 years, I am now not taking anything at night and am getting some of the best sleep I have had in years.
Thank you!”

- Becky R.

Below are common concerns clients have expressed to me about addressing their sleep difficulties. Each statement is followed by answers that can resolve your concerns.

“Are these sessions covered by insurance?"

Treatment is covered by the following insurance plans (for Colorado residents): United Behavioral Health / OptumCare, Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross / Blue Shield, Cigna, TriWest, Apostrophe, Bright Health, and Friday Health.

I am not credentialed to accept Medicare. With United/Optum or Aetna Medicare, there is a solution. Contact me.

You can also use a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or a Health Savings Account (HSA).

“I’m afraid you are going to take my sleep medication away.”

You initially continue taking your sleep medication. You use the SleepEasy method, add that to your medication and you will then sleep better than from using just medication. That will feel good. Once you are sleeping well, if you wish to reduce medication, the SleepEasy program gives you a way to do that without withdrawal.

“I’m afraid this is going to be difficult and uncomfortable.”

The SleepEasy process is simple, easy and quick. If you think that is impossible, please read on.

“I've tried so much to solve this problem and nothing as ever worked, so nothing is going to work.”

SleepEasy is different from anything you’ve ever tried. It does not involve meditation, hypnosis, general relaxation, deep breathing or visualization. It is easier than all of those. Thousands of people are sleeping better from using the SleepEasy method. Most people sleep better their first night.

“I don’t want to get involved with psychotherapy.”

This doesn’t involve psychotherapy. It is a simple and effective method you use on your own.

“My anxiety or depression is more important to address than my sleep.”

While studies show that anxiety and depression contribute to sleep difficulties, studies also show that when someone has difficulty sleeping, that worsens their anxiety and depression. Sleeping better with SleepEasy will help reduce your anxiety and depression. In our sessions, I will also give you simple and effective awareness tools that can significantly shift your anxiety and depression. These are easy to use during the day while you’re in the midst of activity with your eyes open.

“I have tried cognitive-behavioral therapy for my sleep and it didn’t work.”

With CBT, one of the main tools is if you’re not asleep in 20 minutes, get out of bed. Many people find that increases anxiety. Some people even call it torture.

SleepEasy is unique in that it does not use that sleep restriction modality. Instead, it gives you an easy way to get to a feeling of being half-asleep. Even if you are not yet fully asleep, this feels deeply comfortable, is rejuvenating, removes anxiety, and leads to sleep.

I am committed to help you sleep. If finances are an issue, we can find a solution. When you sleep better, that has a positive effect on almost every area of your life, so it is a great return on any investment you make in yourself.

Because you have tried many things in your life that didn’t work, I honor your skepticism because you deserve proof, not promises. Simply have your free 30-minute phone consultation and find out how that begins to resolve your skepticism. You have nothing to lose — and excellent sleep to gain!

I am committed to you for you to sleep well, so you are happier and more effective in your personal and professional life!

Looking foward to talking with you,
