Telehealth Therapy
I offer individual therapy via online video conferencing using a secure and HIPAA compliant program. Currently, I am offering only telehealth therapy due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Delta variant. I plan to offer in-person sessions as soon as is feasible and will likely be able to offer hybrid sessions (in-person and online) depending on patient request.
Psychological Assessment
The goals of psychological assessment are to better understand a person's strengths and weaknesses, identify potential problems with cognitions, mood and coping abilities, and make recommendations for treatment/ remediation. Most insurance companies now require psychological assessment as part of your candidacy for surgical procedures or implantation devices. Your evaluation may include psychological testing, such as personality tests, mood inventories and other questionnaires. You will also have a face-to-face interview, usually scheduled for about an hour, and a brief feedback session to go over the results.
Available Assessment Options include:
-
Bariatric Surgery Evaluation
-
Solid Organ Transplant
-
Bone Marrow or Stem Cell Transplant
-
Spinal Cord Stimulators
-
Inspire Device for Sleep Apnea
Workshops & Consultation
As a behavioral sleep medicine expert, I offer consultation services for clinicians and businesses (e.g., sleep education, implementation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i), establishing healthy sleep habits).
I am also available for speaking engagements, professional development, public education, or community outreach specific to sleep, health psychology, or general mental health. Please email me for further inquiry.
