Hi! I'm Dr. Sarah, Stanford-trained holistic sleep specialist and insomnia expert. If you've been having any trouble falling or staying asleep, then you're in the right place. I specialize in the gold standard treatment approach for adults with chronic insomnia, Cognitive Behavior Therapy for insomnia (CBT-I).
