I’m a highly goal-focused clinician who works best with patients who are invested in their treatment to improve their health and well-being, and are willing to learn.

 

The most gratifying aspects of my work are helping my patients make good use of our work together to gain insight, sleep better, feel healthier, and make changes to enable greater autonomy and live a more satisfying and engaged life. 

 

My work is guided by mind-body health psychology conceptual framework, cognitive- behavioral theories, emotional regulation and mindfulness based approaches.

Biography

I'm a clinician researcher of sleep medicine and clinical psychology.  I’ve always been interested in psychology and curious about how the body and the mind work together.  I became intrigued by sleep in 1989 when I was an undergraduate student at the University of California, San Diego. I came to appreciate sleep is a barometer of health and well-being as sleep is the first to go when the body, the mind or the spirit is challenged by stress, illness, or inadequate care.  I headed for  graduate school to continue learning about sleep for it is a window to the mind-body interaction, and to develop skills for becoming a sleep clinician and researcher.
