Sleep is one of life’s essential blessings, restoring both body and spirit.
My own struggle with chronic insomnia and other physical and mental health challenges is what led me into this work.
I know what it feels like to lie awake exhausted, frustrated, and wondering why nothing seems to work. I know how isolating it can be when your body feels stuck and your mind will not let go.
That experience gave me a deep sense of empathy, but also a mission. Today, I help people who are tired of surface-level advice finally understand the deeper reasons they are struggling and guide them toward lasting change, better health, and real, natural sleep.
My approach is holistic, integrative, and highly personalized.
I do not just look at the sleep issue itself. I look at the whole person and the deeper reasons the problem developed in the first place. For some people that means stress, anxiety, burnout, or subconscious fear. For others it may involve habits, relationships, unresolved emotions, breathing, hormones, gut health, or nervous system dysregulation.
Most of my clients have already tried sleep hygiene, supplements, medication, or even therapy before they come to me. They are frustrated because nothing seems to create lasting change.
Together, we work to understand what is really keeping your mind and body stuck, so you can stop fighting sleep and start feeling safe enough to rest again.
In our sessions, you can expect a supportive, practical, and highly personalized process focused on both the symptoms and the deeper root causes of your sleep struggles.
Depending on your needs, I may draw from sleep coaching, mindset work, CBT, ACT, hypnosis, exposure work, nervous system regulation, and behavioral change strategies. When appropriate, we may also explore functional testing, breathing, hormone balance, digestion, and other physical factors that can affect sleep.
This is not about giving you a generic bedtime routine and sending you on your way. It is about understanding why your body and mind no longer feel safe enough to sleep and helping you create real, lasting change.
As an observant Jew and former rabbi, I have a deep understanding of the pressures, values, and rhythms of Jewish life.
Many of the people I work with come from observant backgrounds, including rabbis, business owners, educators, community leaders, and parents carrying tremendous responsibility. I understand the unique challenges that can affect sleep in the Jewish world, whether that means stress around Shabbos and Yom Tov, late-night learning, communal obligations, large families, dating, fertility struggles, or the pressure to always keep going.
Because of that shared understanding, clients often feel comfortable opening up about issues they may not discuss elsewhere. My goal is to provide support that is not only effective, but also culturally sensitive, respectful, and aligned with your values.

“For years, I thought I would never sleep naturally again. I had tried pills, supplements, routines, and endless advice, but nothing gave me lasting relief. Working with Doron changed everything. He helped me understand the deeper reasons behind my insomnia and within weeks I was sleeping better, feeling calmer, and finally getting my life back.”
BB
“I was relying on sleeping pills just to get through the night, and even then my sleep was inconsistent. Doron’s approach was completely different from anything I had tried before. He looked at the whole picture, not just the sleep itself. Today I sleep naturally, without pills, and I feel healthier and more hopeful than I have in years.”
RS
“After having my baby, I felt trapped in a cycle of exhaustion, anxiety, and panic every night. Even when my baby finally slept, I could not. Doron was patient, understanding, and gave me tools that helped me feel calm again. I finally look forward to bedtime instead of dreading it.”
RW
“I had struggled with insomnia for over twenty years and honestly did not believe anything could help me. Doron never pushed a rigid system or made me feel judged. Instead, he listened carefully, worked with me as an individual, and helped me slowly rebuild trust in my ability to sleep.”
YM
“What stood out most to me was that Doron did not just treat the symptom of insomnia. He looked at my stress, emotions, habits, health, and mindset. The changes in my sleep ended up improving so many other parts of my life as well.”
AR
“I had reached the point where my whole life revolved around being tired. I planned my days around naps, I dreaded nights, and travel was a nightmare because I knew I would not sleep. After working with Doron, I can finally fall asleep normally, travel without fear, and live like a regular person again.”
NS
“I was skeptical at first because I had already tried so many other practitioners, doctors, and therapies. But Doron’s approach felt different from the beginning. He was compassionate, flexible, and truly listened. Within a few weeks, my anxious nights became calm, restful nights.”
CM
“Doron has an incredible ability to understand both the body and the mind. He combines practical tools, emotional insight, and deep knowledge about sleep in a way that feels tailored and personal. I always felt like he genuinely cared about helping me get better.”
SC
“Before working with Doron, I felt hopeless. I thought insomnia was simply who I was. He helped me realize that sleep problems are not a life sentence. He gave me tools that helped me finally relax, let go of the fear around sleep, and start sleeping naturally again.”
CL
“I had been living on three or four hours of sleep a night for years. During the day I could barely function, and by nighttime I was full of dread. Doron helped me completely change that pattern. I now fall asleep quickly, sleep through the night, and have energy during the day again.”
LL
“Doron’s kindness and patience made such a difference for me. I never felt rushed, judged, or like I was just another client. He really took the time to understand what I was going through and create a plan that felt right for me.”
YD
“I was so afraid that I would be forced into strict techniques that did not fit my personality. Instead, Doron worked with me in a way that felt collaborative and empowering. He helped me find my own path toward sleep, and the emotional healing that came with it was just as valuable.”
MC
“I cannot overstate how much this work changed my life. I used to spend every evening worrying about whether I would sleep. Now bedtime feels calm and peaceful. I no longer fear the night.”
SE
“I had trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, and dealing with racing thoughts every night. Doron helped me get to the root of what was really happening beneath the surface. His support was life-changing, and I finally feel like myself again.”
CS
“Working with Doron gave me much more than better sleep. I became more confident, more relaxed, more positive, and more hopeful about the future. The impact has touched every area of my life.”
