I believe that successful therapy brings about concrete change, not mere insight. I use a practical, active, goal-focused approach called cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I will train and guide you in a applying a variety of strategies, skills and techniques in your your daily life that will help you achieve your your personal therapy goals. It is my aim to help you become your own personal therapist so that you can continue using the strategies, skills and techniques that you learned with me to meet future challenges on your own. I was named a Top Therapist by Washingtonian magazine, and a Fellow by the Academy of CBT.
Anxious? Shy? Nervous? Unassertive? Self-conscious? Embarrass easily? Public-speaking fear? Avoid socializing? Difficulty meeting people? Anxious in groups? Pee shy? One specialization of mine is helping people with social anxiety: an overblown fear of judgment, embarrassment or rejection. I offer social anxiety therapy groups, as well as individual CBT.
Don't just talk and be supported. Learn and practice concrete skills and strategies to help you overcome your problems and move your life forward. I have achieved the rigorous certification in cognitive-behavioral therapy by the Academy of Cognitive & Behavioral Therapies, the gold standard in CBT: one of the most effective of all mental health therapies.
