I offer face-to-face virtual visits for a variety of health services and conditions.
I am a board-certified behavioral sleep medicine clinician providing treatment for insomnia, circadian rhythm problems, shift work sleep problems, pediatric sleep concerns, apnea mask tolerance problems, and other sleep-related challenges. I am trained in the use of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing and use this approach in my work with trauma and PTSD.
How I spend my free time: Spending time with my family, running, camping.
Practice philosophy: My approach to patient care is based on a deep respect and non-judgmental understanding of my patients' past and present experiences. This helps create a safe and personable setting for our work together. In my therapy sessions, I collaborate to find meaningful goals, help people identify and use insight toward personal growth, and use reliable therapeutic approaches to help people reach their best health.
