I specialize in treating anxiety disorders and obsessive compulsive disorders in children, adolescents, and adults. I also evaluate people who are considering bariatric surgery. In addition, I work with behavioral problems in children. I conduct therapy with children who are oppositional and those with attention problems. I provide parents guidelines for managing these problems with their children. I do not attempt to take on everything and anything and will find you an appropriate referral if I am not the best suited professional for your problems.
I use empirically validated, time limited therapies for these problems. I help clients set goals and develop action plans for reaching them.
I am an author of over ten psychology and self-help related books (such as Overcoming Anxiety For Dummies and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder For Dummies). I am a Founding Fellow of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy and incorporate elements of Schema Therapy into my work. EARLY EVENING HOURS AVAILABLE
