Psychologist, Assistant Professor
Psychology
Department: Psychiatry
I am a licensed psychologist specializing in behavioral sleep medicine and behavioral health at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I provide psychological evaluations and evidence-based therapy for the full range of sleep disorders including insomnia, nightmare disorder, circadian rhythm disorders, narcolepsy, idiopathic hypersomnia and parasomnias (e.g., sleep paralysis, night terrors), as well as chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related disorders.
My patients can rely on me for high quality, compassionate care and honest communication in every encounter. I collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of skilled experts to ensure each patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs and values.
Please note: Not all physicians schedule patients at each listed location.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I am committed to advancing psychological science. I am an assistant professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
