Behavioral Sleep Medicine

Behavioral Sleep Medicine (BSM) is a combination two clinical disciplines: health psychology and sleep medicine. BSM examines the relationship between psychological factors and their influence on the development and maintenance of the full range of sleep disorders. While the treatment of insomnia is a BSM mainstay, BSM can also be very helpful for other sleep issues such as Nightmares, Night Terrors, Noctural Panic Attacks, Parasomnias, Hypersomnias, Circadian Rhythm Disorders, and the common difficulties adjusting to Positive Airway Pressure.

The Society of Behavioral Sleep Medicine (SBSM) is the lead organization serving the BSM community. I am proud to be a founding member of this organization and to have served on their education committee for three years. I am a Diplomate of the American Board of Behavioral Sleep Medicine (DBSM).

I am certified in Behavioral Sleep Medicine by the American Board of Sleep Medicine (CBSM). Choosing as BSM certified clinician helps to ensure that your sleep problem is being evaluated and treated by someone who has met the rigorous experience and examination requirements set forth by the American Board of Sleep Medicine.
