Guided by the latest scientific research findings, I use evidence-based treatments to help you resolve your issues and move forward with your life. After an initial assessment session, I will collaborate with you to set a treatment plan tailored to your priorities and goals. The empirically-supported treatment I use most often for anxiety disorders is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a relatively short-term, goal-oriented, empirically-supported therapy that focuses on treating distressing symptoms and problematic behaviors. Emphasizing the connection among thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and physiological reactions, CBT teaches clients how to modify unhelpful, unhealthy, and dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors. CBT facilitates change in a relatively short time span — clients often indicate relief of problematic symptoms in 12-20 sessions — with results that last long-term.

CBT has been extensively studied for more than 40 years, and research has demonstrated its effectiveness in treating the whole range of anxiety disorders, including panic attacks, test anxiety, fear of flying, social anxiety, phobias, public speaking, worry, sleep problems, and general anxiety.
