Thank you for visiting my website. I am a licensed psychologist in Hollywood, Florida and have been in the field for over twenty years, with the last ten in private practice. I specialize in using Cogntive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to treat anxiety in children, teens, and adults. Research has shown that CBT is one of the most effective therapies for treating anxiety.
I am committed to helping individuals learn tools for coping with anxiety and freeing themselves from their worries. I collaborate with individuals, and when helpful their families, to identify their anxious thoughts and accompanying feelings and behaviors. Together we design targeted interventions to build skills for reducing and managing anxiety. These skills include techniques for calming down, knowing and managing anxious thinking, and replacing avoidance, with the ability to face fears, gain confidence, and experience life more fully.
