I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of anxiety and related disorders using cognitive behavioral principles (CBT) with adults and teenagers. Problems treated include panic disorder, OCD, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety, trauma, specific phobias and depression. I frequently work with families and couples to address the impact of these difficulties on relationships, and collaborate with other treating professionals (e.g., psychiatrists, pediatricians, general physicians). My approach includes helping patients reach both insight as well as behavioral change for lasting and meaningful improvement.
I have extensive training in the evaluation and treatment of anxiety disorders. I am the former director of the Anxiety Disorders Clinic at Rutgers University where I trained graduate students, presented on anxiety topics, and conducted research in the field. In addition to private practice, I supervise graduate students and train therapists in CBT
