Degrees

B.A. - Psychology, MSW, LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NC and NY, Post-graduate internship in applied psychophysiology/biofeedback, Worked as a research associate for 4 years for the Medical College of Virginia, working on twin studies where the etiology of phobias was among the topics investigated.

My Expert Service

Individual treatment of phobias which comprehensively explores what may have triggered the development of the fear, the ways in which the phobia may be impacting the client's life, either directly or through avoidance behaviors and the development of a treatment plan to combat the phobia. Systematic densensitization can be a very effective method of combatting an irrational fear. This is done by creating a hierarchy of feared stimuli and pairing each of this aversive stimuli with a relaxation response in a graduated fashion. Understanding the means of acquisition of a phobia can help a client to overcome it. Recognizing the actual or potential impact upon one's life, created by a phobia can provide the motivation needed for a person to overcome the phobia.

Experience & Qualifications

Mental health therapist to clients who have successfully overcome phobias thru psychotherapy, behavioral techniques and psychoeducation. Work as a research associate investigating phobias has increasing my understanding of phobias, their acquisition, their impact upon the sufferer and treatment strategies. Internship in applied psychophysiology/biofeedback - biofeedback is an especially effective tool in successfully treating phobias through systematic desensitization.
