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.

I employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to treat an array of anxiety problems. CBT is an evidenced based approach for addressing a number of problems, and is a treatment of choice in anxiety therapy. My approach is flexible to meet the needs of each client. This includes modifying treatment to meet the developmental stage of children and adolescents.

A recent article in the New York Times, College Students Strain Mental Health Centers, highlights the current rise in anxiety problems on college campuses. Noting that anxiety now replaces depression as the top diagnosis for college students, the author cites the following possible reasons and offers examples of how colleges are responding.
Feeling anxious is miserable. And when feelings are miserable you want them to go away ASAP. But unlike switching a light off and on, when it comes to anxiety you can't just flip the switch. Managing anxiety is more like using a dimmer. You want to keep your symptoms from getting too high even if you can't turn them off completely.
