I help clients learn how to manage chronic pain without daily pain medications and to help clients with sleep disorders (all types) learn to sleep deeply and wake rested without sleeping pills. I also help clients with complex medical diagnoses to develop wellness programs. I have been the Director of four chronic pain program. I have been providing Behavioral Sleep Medicine therapy or the UCLA Sleep Medicine Programs for 16 years. My approach to correcting sleep disorders encompasses neurocognitive self-regulation, mindfulness, breathing training, mind control to stop mind racing,sleep education and classic CBT for insomnia.
I have developed a very effective way to correct sleep disorders in clients with severe pain and illness. It reduces pain and fatigue and improves thinking and coping skills and seeks to eliminate the need for medications. New research shows that prescription sleep medications and over-the-counter sleep aids can have serious negative consequences.
On my web site, there is a four-page article from the American Chronic Pain Association about my approach to improving sleep quality, reducing pain, and lowering medications. Feel free to call me if you have any questions.
