I am a clinical psychologist with a private teletherapy practice and a professor at the University of Tulsa. I am trained in cognitive behavioral treatments for insomnia and nightmares. I developed a treatment for trauma-related nightmares and have been evaluating it for 20 years through clinical research studies. I see adults for sleep problems employing short-term evidence based approaches. Appointments can be made via: https://meetmonarch.com/therapist/joanne-davis-health-service-psychologist.
