I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I work most often with people with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. CBT involves a collaborative relationship and working on present day problems. I work with individuals to help them understand their problems and learn how to change their thinking and behavior to achieve a more fulfilling life. CBT has been shown to be effective for many problems and is the only proven therapy for OCD. Many therapists say they do CBT, unfortunately they may actually be doing something else. I have extensive training in CBT and now my work includes providing training and supervision in CBT. I am a Founding Fellow of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy, a Diplomate of the American Board of Professional Psychology and I am a member of the Scientific and Clinical Advisory Board of The Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation. I have a graduate certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis.
