I am a clinical health psychologist which means I treat psychological and physical health problems. I have specialized training in the treatment of sleep disturbances and chronic pain management using evidence based non pharmacological treatments. I also have a background in geriatrics working with older adults with complex health problems, dementia and family caregiver support. I help people reach their life goals despite chronic health and emotional problems. You can start living life beyond your insomnia, chronic pain, depression or anxiety. I have specialized training in cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia which research has shown to be more effective than medication. After treatment people no longer need medication and treatment lasts a lifetime. My approach is mindfulness based cognitive therapy and also acceptance and commitment therapy. I work part time in Washoe Sleep Disorders Center, a clinical sleep center located in Renown. I am adjunct clinical faculty for UNR School of Medicine Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. I have a postdoctoral resident that is taking people on a reduced rate. Please call the office for more information.
