Anxiety DisorderS
Panic, Phobias, Generalized anxiety
I treat a variety of anxiety disorders including panic disorder, agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder, and various phobias (e.g., fear of driving over bridges, fear of flying). I also treat depersonalization, and derealization disorders. I work with you to help you identify the factors that contribute to your symptoms, and most importantly, how to overcome those obstacles. I utilize a skills-based approach to help you develop the tools necessary to improve your functioning and boost your confidence in managing your symptoms. My approach to treating anxiety disorders often includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), exposure therapies, mindfulness, and self-compassion to decrease your symptoms and increase your quality of life. I hope to help you reduce avoidance of the things you fear, and help you get back to living a life without fear.
