About Us

I am Founder and Director of the Capital Institute for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Since 2003, the Institute has been a leading provider of research-proven treatments and compassionate care. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has been shown to be effective for a number of problems, including: depression, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), hoarding, phobias, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorders, insomnia, chronic pain, personality disorders, and relationship problems. Studies find most patients in CBT have significant reduction in symptoms and distress.

All of our therapists have advanced training in CBT, including mindfulness and acceptance based approaches. Many also do research, publish and train other professionals. , Our approach to therapy is warm and personal. We seek to understand your needs and goals. We then work with you to apply research-proven methods to help you feel better and thrive in your life.
