In the past few years I have received extensive training to assess for sleep disorders and provide behavioral interventions for insomnia, nightmare disorder, and circadian rhythm sleep/wake disorders. I can also provide assistance with CPAP compliance and can provide referrals for sleep studies when needed. I am one of the first providers in the nation to receive the credential from the Board of Behavioral Sleep Medicine to provide these evidenced-based treatments.
