Areas of Expertise

Individual Therapy

I help clients define how they want their lives to be different and to identify the steps that will help them reach their goals.

Anxiety Disorders - Panic, OCD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Social Anxiety.

I mostly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which studies have shown to be the most effective therapy for treating anxiety. It consists of teaching the patient specific ways to replace negative thoughts and behaviors with more realistic and positives ones.

Mood disorders - depression, and Bipolar?I use Psychodynamic, CBT, and Mind/Body in order to help relieve depressive symptoms and heal emotional pain.
