Behavior Therapy and Psychotherapy Center

Areas
I primarily treat children and adolescents diagnosed with either internalizing (e.g. anxiety, depression) or externalizing (e.g. ADHD) disorders. The framework that I use to guide treatment is cognitive-behavioral and typically parental involvement throughout treatment is emphasized, especially with younger children. I am particularly interested in the treatment of internalizing disorders and therefore also treat adults who have been diagnosed with anxiety or depressive disorders.
