Gowda, Shantha

I take a holistic approach to treating sleep problems. I bring my expertise in behavioral sleep medicine, which includes CBTi, and also take into account all relevant factors such as cultural background, personal history, family and friends, living arrangements, preferences, medications and other health and mental health conditions.

I provide brief evidence-based methods to treat various sleep disorders and sleep disturbances (e.g., insomnia, hypersomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, nightmares, PAP adjustment, etc.). My methods emphasize a mind body connection that focuses on identifying the unhelpful thoughts, beliefs and behaviors that disrupt sleep. My ultimate treatment goal is to help you build healthy sleep behaviors and understand how to think about sleep in a healthy and positive light.
