Brandy Queijsen

Brandy Queijsen is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience helping people facing sleep concerns alongside many other life challenges. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and improve rest. She speaks plainly and creates a steady space for people to talk through what keeps them up at night.

Brandy approaches each person as an individual. She blends evidence-based tools such as cognitive behavioral strategies with skills drawn from dialectical behavior methods. Sessions often include building routines, practicing relaxation and emotion regulation skills, and addressing thoughts that interfere with sleep.

Her work honors how life events affect rest and mood. She supports people dealing with grief, trauma, relationship stress, parenting strain, and long-term conditions that can disrupt sleep. Brandy also addresses concerns like self-esteem, eating and body image, addictions, and attention differences that can influence daily rhythms.

Brandy practices from a client-centered stance, listening first to understand priorities and day-to-day obstacles. She uses acceptance and commitment techniques to help people make values-based choices and attachment-focused ideas to look at close relationships that affect well-being.

People who meet with her typically leave sessions with clear next steps. Those steps can include small behavior changes, coping plans for distressing nights, and communication strategies for shared sleeping spaces. Brandy invites practical problem solving alongside emotional support so clients can try solutions between sessions and track what helps.
