PHILOSOPHY and EXPERTISE
Philosophy
Expertise
My area of clinical expertise is in the treatment of Anxiety disorders, Obsessive Compulsive disorders and Autism spectrum disorders in children, adolescents and young adults. My training and experience is in treating all psychiatric conditions in Children, Adolescents and Adults. In addition I have been trained and had successful results, in practicing Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Exposure Response Prevention and psychopharmacology for treatment of Anxiety and OCD and co-morbid disorders. I believe, a clinician’s commitment and compassion are essential skills in patient care. The family’s ability to maintain compliance and motivation to participate in treatment along with the child and adolescent’s insight, resilience and cognitive skills are important contributors to the success of treatment. Using strength based approaches and developing a strong alliance contributes to successful treatment planning and is crucial to achieve treatment goals.
