BSM Specialties: Nightmare Syndrome
My practice is limited to the behavioral treatment of sleep disorders including: insomnia, sleep phase disorders, nightmare disorders, and difficulties adapting to CPAP usage. I work with children (and their parents), adolescents, and adults. I have a special interest in working with patients whose sleep is compromised by chronic pain or chronic illness. i have worked with many patients who experience insomnia secondary to Long Covid. While my primary treatment approach is CBT-I, I also integrate elements of ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and mindfulness based interventions into my patients' treatment plans, as indicated. I also treat hypersomnia and narcolepsy ( typically in coordination with a sleep physician) utilizing CBT-H.

I focus my work at the intersection of sleep and mental health. If sleep isn’t restful, usually our mood, thinking, and day-to-day activities are affected. And vice versa–if we’re stressed or not feeling good, we may not be sleeping well. I can help you make changes to your sleep that will improve your mental health, and I can support you in managing your mental health so you can sleep better. No meds required--I only use cognitive and behavioral strategies that work.
