BSM Experience: 5 -10 Years

I'm now a full-time clinician with Corewell Health Sleep Disorders Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Sleep disruption is unfortunately very common. However, it is also very treatable. I utilize evidence-based treatments to address insomnia and related issues such as nightmares and sleep-related anxiety.

I've been practicing CBT since the 1970s and pivoted my practice to include CBTI following my initial training in 2016. Much of my work now emphasizes trauma-informed behavioral sleep medicine and I regularly attend seminars and workshops in addition to participating in sleep medicine training with the World Sleep Academy.

I am licensed as a psychologist in both Florida and Missouri and work exclusively through telehealth using a HIPPA-compliant platform.

I am a board-certified family medicine physician who delivers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI).
After completing medical school at Mount Sinai in New York City, I relocated to Philadelphia for my residency in Family Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.

In addition to my expertise in primary care, I have completed training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia and have completed a Mini-Fellowship for Behavioral Sleep Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.
So, why my interest in sleep? After four years of medical school and three years of residency, it was only afte ...
