Clinical Specialties
In psychotherapy, I specialize in treating people with anxiety disorders, including panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, social anxiety disorder, and phobias. I also treat persons with substance abuse problems, depression, and problems related to a traumatic event. Some people experience an increase in stress when coping with a physical illness -- either their own or that of a loved one -- and I have experience working with people in these situations.
I am also a teacher of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), a program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn and colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. MBSR is based on the ancient practice of meditation, and has been demonstrated to be effective for people struggling with anxiety, chronic pain, hypertension, and other medical disorders.
