Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (childhood abuse, sexual assault, interpersonal violence, accidents, 9/11, traumatic loss of loved ones, and natural disasters), as well as anxiety disorders such as panic disorder, social anxiety, agoraphobia, and obsessive compulsive disorder. I also work with patients who are struggling with relationship difficulties, career transition, anger management issues, and lack of assertiveness. I utilize techniques such as prolonged exposure, relaxation training, mindfulness, and skills training in emotion regulation and work with adults and adolescents with a structured, collaborative, and compassionate approach.
