Providing Telehealth Services Throughout New Jersey
Every person deserves restful sleep, but for neurodivergent individuals with autism, ADHD, or other developmental disorders, the path can feel especially complex. Rest assured, all sleep services are grounded in the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), a proven and effective approach that helps make change possible for everyone.
As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and former special education teacher, I have more than 25 years of experience supporting individuals with disabilities and their families. My background allows me to truly understand the unique circumstances that come with the diagnosis of a developmental disability. Together, we can create a plan that brings real results.
Imagine...
• Peacefully following a bedtime routine
• Falling asleep independently within 15 minutes
• Sleeping throughout the night
• Getting 8 hours of sleep every night
...without having fear and anxiety around bedtime.

Sleep Consultation Services
Sleep Consultation Services
Support can make all the difference. The process outlined below is designed to provide personalized, step-by-step guidance tailored to your unique needs and goals. Each stage is thoughtfully structured to help you gain insight into your sleep patterns, implement practical strategies, and receive ongoing support as you move toward restful, restorative sleep. Here’s what to expect:
Sleep Snapshot
The process begins with simply observing and jotting down your sleep habits over 7-10 days. This gives us a true picture of your current sleep patterns. With this clear snapshot, it becomes possible to identify the most effective path towards your goals.
Interview
Next comes an interview to gather information about your unique circumstances and the factors that might be influencing your sleep difficulties.
Treatment Development
Your sleep snapshot and history are carefully analyzed to develop a personalized plan that addresses the needs of you and/or your family. A copy of the plan is provided, followed by a meeting to review it step by step, ensuring everyone feels confident and comfortable moving forward.
Plan Implementation
With a deeper understanding and practical strategies in hand, it's time to put the plan into action! Meetings are held as needed during this phase to support progress and ensure the plan is guiding you to your goals.
Progress Review & Refinement
Progress is regularly reviewed, and adjustments are made when necessary. Support continues every step of the way. We're in this together!
The rate for sleep consultation is $165 per hour.
This rate applies to one-on-one sessions, time spent developing treatment plans, analyzing data, and collaborating with other professionals on your team to support your progress. This structure ensures dedicate, focused time for both meetings and individualized planning that helps facilitate meaningful progress between sessions.

Having personally struggled with sleep challenges, I understand how lack of sleep can make everything more difficult, affecting mood, focus, productivity, and overall well-being. Once I understood the science behind sleep-related behaviors, I got to work on my own sleep. Within a week and a half, my sleep was transformed!
After years of horrible sleep, I was no longer lying in bed awake for hours or waking up in the middle of the night unable to fall back asleep. I was falling asleep within 5-10 minutes, sleeping through the night, and getting 8+ hours of sleep. I was finally waking up feeling refreshed.
Please know that you are not doomed to a lifetime of sleepless nights and exhausted days. We can work together to help you get the restorative sleep that you need and deserve.
