TREATMENT BY SECURE TELETHERAPY: I have over 20 years experience treating panic attacks, phobias, anxiety, depression, OCD , PTSD and marital distress with Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). All treatment is offered in an atmosphere of collaboration, validation and respect. Supportive coaching and motivation enhancement are added for those who need help getting started and staying focused through the often challenging process of change.

I am experienced in providing support around issues in relationships, communication, and coping with strong emotions. I specialize in working with folks who have experienced trauma or extremely stressful life events, as well as folks experiencing anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts (e.g., OCD ), thoughts of death/suicide/self-harm, or substance misuse.

When we're anxious, we tend to feel physical symptoms (like our hearts beating faster) or experience lots of worries about many things. But the biggest problem with anxiety is that it GETS IN THE WAY of a full life! It holds us back. It paralyzes us. It makes us second-guess ourselves. It prevents us from forming relationships. I became a cognitive behavioral therapist so that I could help people manage their anxiety more effectively and regain control of their lives.

I have expertise in treating anxiety, mood and OCD disorders (trichotillomania, BDD, skin picking ). I use cognitive behavioral methods that have been shown to be effective in specific problem areas and tailor them to particular patients. My treatment philosophy is one that combines humanistic values and CBT interventions.

I specialize in treating anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and related challenges, including perfectionism, stress, sleep issues, and relationship problems. I have advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), as well as mindfulness and acceptance-based techniques. I am a licensed psychologist in independent practice, having recently served as Assistant Professor at Columbia University Clinic for Anxiety and Related Disorders.

We all have potential to be great friends, romantic partners, family members, or workers. But we all encounter roadblocks such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and other stressors that impact our mental health, which can make it more difficult to engage these roles in the way we'd want. Sometimes we feel lost as to how to maneuver around these roadblocks. I want you to know that you don't have to walk this path alone. In working together, we will focus on developing the skills to help you overcome these roadblocks, so that you can be the person you truly want to be.

As your psychologist, my job is to help you live the life you want to live -- fully and completely. My area of expertise is in the treatment of Anxiety Disorders and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder ( OCD ). Having anxiety keeps you from doing the things you want to do in life. I treat all types of anxiety (such as rumination, worry, general anxiety, phobias, panic disorder, health anxiety, and social anxiety). I practice Third Wave Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and ACT. Treatment is generally brief. I also have extensive training and experience in working with couples and families.

Feelings of emotional pain, depression or anxiety, alert us that important needs are not being met. When needs are not met we feel vulnerable and require protection. As a psychoanalyst I work with the whole person to find less taxing forms of protection so that fears, social withdrawal or repetitive attempts at safety become less necessary. I encourage relaxed communication at a very comfortable pace to nurture a greater sense of safety so your drive for freedom naturally leads you to the life you want. I work to resolve depression, creative blocks, OCD , trauma, romantic difficulties, and problems at work.
