I am an Assistant Professor within the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Rochester Medical Center. I also hold appointments within the Department of Veterans Affairs as an Affiliated Research Investigator with the VA VISN 2 Center for Integrated Healthcare and as a Health Science Specialist and the Assistant Director of Fellowship Training at the Center of Excellence for Suicide Prevention at the Canandaigua VA Medical Center. My research focus is on the influence that sleep disturbances, such as insomnia and sleep-related breathing disorders, have on the development and course of suicidal behavior. This includes examinations of how sleep-suicide relationship may manifest through the exacerbation of co-occurring disorders that increase risk for suicide and how transitions in care may impact risk. My work is conducted with a particular emphasis on how sleep disturbance and suicidal behavior may be addressed within the primary care setting and with an eye to increasing utilization of existing interventions and developing novel, brief interventions when indicated.
