Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a form of talk therapy that helps individuals identify and change patterns of thinking and behaving that may have been contributing to feelings of emotional distress.
CBT is evidence-based, which means it is scientifically proven to be effective.
We will work together to find the most effective approaches to manage your distress, individualized to your specifc needs.
Small changes can lead to significant improvement in your mental health and wellbeing.

Memberships and Training
I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of adults with anxiety disorders including generalized anxiety (worry), social anxiety, panic, post-traumatic stress, and obsessive compulsive disorder.
As a cognitive behavioral therapist with over 35 years of experience, I rely on evidence-based practices to help my clients.
Over my career, I have worked in a variety of settings, both inpatient and outpatient, which has provided me with a broad range of experience. Also, as an older person, I bring a lifetime of personal experience to my work.

By using telehealth, you have the convenience of meeting with me in the privacy of your home or office; no need to leave work, arrange for childcare, or travel a long distance to reach me.
The site we will meet on is doxy.me, a HIPAA compliant website used by many physicians, so your confidentiality is assured.
