LEADING EXPERT ON SLEEP DISORDERS AND MENTAL HEALTH
My areas of specialty include the evaluation and treatment of sleep, anxiety, stress, and depressive issues, including:
Experience and Work
I have extensive experience working with persons with chronic medical illnesses, such as HIV, sleep apnea, heart disease, cancer, obesity, and other diseases.
I work with individuals, families, and couples. I am bilingual (English/Spanish), so I conduct treatment in whichever language the patient prefers.
The first office appointment involves an initial consultation to determine the needs and goals of treatment. Treatment ranges from short-term (4-6 weeks) to more intensive, long-term therapy. Length of treatment depends on severity of psychological and/or sleep disordered symptoms and the goals of treatment.
