As a recent (2-years) breast cancer survivor and recipient of a new hip so I could walk again, I am dedicated to helping other cancer survivors transform their lives. I hold a doctorate in psychology - experimental cognition - with a 35-year history in sleep research and clinical sleep disorders medicine. I held faculty appointments at 4 university-based medical schools. My professional career in sleep and sleep disorders was followed by almost 8-years working as a government contractor for SAMHSA's National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP) and the National Cancer Institute's Registry of Research-tested Intervention Programs (RTIPs) websites.
