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. Since 2005, I have worked in private practice as well as large health systems and my clinical practice has been in full-spectrum, community-based care, treating patients ages 0-99+. 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 ...

I am a psychotherapist focusing on the treatment of adults with sleep problems as well as ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, stressors, and other mental health concerns that commonly coincide with sleep symptoms. I offer cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) independently as well as in conjunction with other therapies to meet individual client needs. Services are currently via telehealth to clients who reside in New Jersey, Connecticut, and Vermont.
I found my way to treating sleep issues when I had the opportunity to take a long-term clinical training in CBT-Insomnia. Like many of the therapies I utilize, once I began treating clients it became a joy to witness how significantly their circumstances improved as the result of this short-term therapy. I prioritize taking ...

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. Though I primarily work with insomnia, co-morbid insomnia & sleep apnea (COMISA), and sleep-wake phase misalignment, I also get referrals from physicians to assist their patients in eliminating sleep medications and getting desensitized to CPAP masks. I am licensed as a psychologist in both Florida and Missouri and work exclusively through telehealth using a HIPPA-compliant platform.

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 am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI), Brief Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia (BBTI), and treatments for nightmare disorder. After getting to know you and your goals, we can collaboratively choose a treatment that makes sense for you. Some of the most dramatic improvements I've seen have been in Veterans who resolved 40+ years of insomnia after just a handful of treatment sessions. And unsurprisingly, many other areas of life improve quickly once sleep improves.
I have been providing CBTI for over 10 years, having completed my training and certification wi ...
