Treating Anxiety Disorders

As an assistant professor at the Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety at the University of Pennsylvania, I provided expert care to clients with anxiety disorders, supervised doctoral students and medical residents in the field, offered consultation to clinicians in the field, was the director of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) training and consultation programs, and taught at OCD workshops internationally.

Presently, I am an assistant professor within the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania. I am a certified Exposure and Response Prevention therapist and Prolonged Exposure therapist through the Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety at the University of Pennsylvania.

• panic disorder

• specific phobia

• social anxiety disorder

• grief-related disorders

I have also worked with clients with ADHD, depression and other mood disorders, disordered eating, and personality disorders.
