Another Night, Another Struggle?
Finally Overcome Sleepless Nights So That Your Child And The Entire Household Can Get The Restorative Sleep They Deserve
Every evening, the struggle to get your child to sleep leaves you feeling drained. You tiptoe around bedtime routines, bracing for another long night and hoping, just this once, for a smooth bedtime.
You’ve tried the supplements, the stories, the nightlights, but that hasn’t gotten you anywhere.
You’ve sacrificed your own sleep by staying in your child's bedroom until they fall asleep, praying they won’t wake up as you try to sneak out of the room.
You’ve done all the right things to try to help your child, but sleep is just not happening.
Your struggle isn't from a lack of effort. It's about learning the right skills that are necessary for sleep. It's about setting up a system where sleep becomes effortless instead of a struggle.
This is the space where you can finally let go of the exhaustion and guilt. This is where you trade the fear of bedtime for the peaceful assurance that you know exactly what to do to help your child fall asleep independently and stay asleep throughout the night.
Your child will learn specific skills-
So that they can…
Follow their bedtime routine without an argument.
Quickly and independently fall asleep within 15 minutes.
Sleep soundly throughout the night in their own bed.
Get 8 hours of sleep each night.
Be more focused in school.
Have a more stable mood.
And so that you can…
Sleep in your own bed.
Spend time with your partner or other children.
Have time to decompress at the end of the day.
Actually get a full night's sleep yourself!
Does it take your child a long time to fall asleep?
It might sound too good to be true, but together, we can set up a system in which your child can consistently fall asleep within 15 minutes.
Does your child need you or another adult present in order to fall asleep?
A lot of children struggle with falling asleep on their own. It can be a big step for children (and parents) to move towards independence. We'll give you the tools to painlessly fade your presence so that your child can go from needing you by their side to being able to fall asleep on their own.
Does your child wake frequently throughout the night? Do they seek you out and need you by their side in order to fall back asleep?
Individuals wake frequently throughout the night. It's being able to fall back to sleep independently and quickly that's the key! We'll work together to teach your child to fall asleep independently from the start. So, when they do wake during the night, they'll be able to fall back to sleep effortlessly.
Does your child resist the whole going to bed process? Are they having trouble following directions to get ready for bed? Are they calling out or leaving bed after lights out?
Been there! After having worked with individuals with behavior challenges for over 25 years, I can help you change the narrative. We can take bedtime from tantrums and tears to enjoyment and ease.
Has your child developed some unhealthy sleep habits like falling asleep in front of the TV or screens?
Did you know that the way you fall asleep impacts your sleep throughout the rest of the night? While these habits may seem harmless, they could be having a significant negative impact on your child's sleep. We'll work together to create new sleep habits that support healthy sleep all night long.
Up to 70% of neurotypical children exhibit sleep problems.
There is a significant likelihood that millions of children in the US are misdiagnosed as having ADHD when their main issue lies within the realm of sleep.
Sleep problems in children can lead to problems such as compromised physical health, school performance issues, decreased energy, etc.
Specific skills can be taught to help children fall asleep more quickly, stay asleep throughout the night, and wake at a reasonable hour.
More stable moods
Improved emotional regulation
Better impulse control
Sharpened memory
Greater concentration
Strengthened problem-solving skills
Improved physical health
Better sleep for parents!
If you’re hesitating, you’re not alone.
Many adults who come to the Center for Restorative Behavior feel unsure at first.
You might be thinking:
“It’s too expensive. It’s not covered by insurance.”
That matters. You’ve already spent time, money, and energy trying to fix this. The real question is: What is poor sleep still costing you- in focus, health, work performance, and emotional well-being?
“This is just something I have to live with.”
When sleep problems last long enough, they start to feel permanent. You adjust. You lower expectations. You stop imagining things could be different. That isn’t acceptance. It’s exhaustion.
“I’ve tried everything”
That makes sense. You’ve tried routines, supplements, apps, and advice. What you may not have tried is a personalized, science-based system designed around your specific sleep patterns.
The Cost of “Pushing Through”
When sleep doesn’t improve, it doesn’t stay neutral. It compounds. Over time, many children experience:
Reduced focus and performance at school
Difficulty with emotional regulation
Struggles with impulse control
Instead of asking, “Can I afford support?” many clients eventually ask, “How long can I afford to keep living with this constant exhaustion?”

Telehealth Support For Ages 5-17
Support can make all the difference. The process is designed to provide you personaized step-by-step guidance tailored to your child's unique needs and goals. Each stage is thoughtfully structured to help you gain insight into your child's sleep patterns, implement practical strategies, and receive ongoing support as you move toward restful, restorative sleep. Here’s what to expect:
Interview
We'll start with a 60-90 minute interview to gather information about your child's unique circumstances and the factors that might be influencing thier sleep difficulties. The interview covers a range of topics including sleep and medical history, sleep goals, current sleep problems, sleep schedule, pre-sleep routines, and sleep environment.
Sleep Snapshot
Next, you'll jot down your child's sleep habits over 7-10 days. This gives us a true picture of their current sleep patterns. This helps to identify the most effective path towards your child's goals.
Treatment Development
The interview and sleep snapshot are carefully analyzed to develop a personalized plan that addresses your child's needs. A copy of the plan is provided, followed by a meeting to review it step by step, ensuring you feel confident and comfortable moving forward. While treatment plans differ from person to person, they commonly include strategies to teach you how to:
Reset the time your child falls asleep to the desired bed time
Create an environment to maintain sleep throughout the entire night
Develop a routine that signals to their body that it's time to sleep
Keep the focus on sleep while in bed
Plan Implementation
With a deeper understanding and practical strategies in hand, it's time to put the plan in place!
We’ll meet 2-3 times per week for 45 minutes during the first week and twice for 30 minutes in the second week.
Everyone's needs are different. We’ll determine what is needed (how many times per week to meet) for your child to be successful in the following weeks.
When you feel successful and meet your child's goals (like falling asleep within 15 minutes), we can reduce the number of meetings and determine when sleep consultation ends.
The rate for sleep consultation is $165 per hour.
This rate applies to one-on-one meetings, time spent developing your treatment plan, analyzing your sleep pattern data, and collaborating with other professionals on your team to support your progress. This ensures dedicated, focused time for 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 and waking up in the middle of the night unable to fall back asleep. Once I learned specific sleep related skills, 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 and wasn't feeling like a mess anymore.
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.
With better sleep, you can finally leave behind the constant brain fog, feel focused and present in your daily life, and have the patience and energy to enjoy the moments that matter most.
