Therapy for insomnia, anxiety, and men's wellbeing — available throughout Raleigh and the Triangle

Summer in the Triangle has a way of grinding down sleep. The Hurricanes' playoff run kept fans up past midnight, gambling lines and second-screen scrolling extending the cortisol spike long after the final buzzer. The 2026 World Cup has added another layer — late-evening kickoffs, bars packed on weeknights, and the kind of alcohol-fueled socializing that feels restorative but fragments sleep architecture. Throw in longer daylight hours pulling your circadian anchor later, and you've got a season that quietly dismantles sleep without a single night feeling catastrophic.

The clinical term for this is social jet lag: your sleep timing drifts on weekends and event nights, and your body never fully recovers before the next disruption arrives. Left unaddressed, it compounds — mood, focus, and emotional regulation all erode with it.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), the gold-standard evidence-based approach, to help clients in Raleigh, Durham, Cary, and Chapel Hill reset their sleep and stabilize the body budget that governs everything downstream. Available throughout the Triangle via telehealth.
