Biography
As a psychologist, I specialize in the evidence-based treatment of anxiety disorders. Psychotherapy should be approached like any other area of clinical science. It requires well-executed research to guide the choice of treatment.
Cognitive behavior therapy has been found to be the best first line treatment for anxiety. At The Ohio State University, my colleagues and I provide the most modern and advanced care available. All of our approaches to treatment are based on what clinical research has found to be the most effective.
I truly enjoy being a psychologist here at The Ohio State University. I have found that both the environment and the approach to healthcare have a uniquely collaborative nature.

I am a licensed psychologist whose background and training reflect my commitment to the use of evidence-based psychotherapy. As such, I am a Fellow of both the Association of Behavior and Cognitive Therapy and the Academy of Cognitive Therapy of which I am also a Certified Trainer/Consultant.
My research efforts have concentrated on the use of cognitive behavior therapy for the treatment of anxiety disorders. Over the past several years, my research and clinical interests have focused on the prevalence and treatment of anxiety in individuals with heart disease.
I direct the Behavioral Cardiology service and in that capacity I am engaged in research, clinical service, and the education of our trainees. I also have courtesy appointments as Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine/Division of Cardiovascular Medicine and in the Department of Psychology at Ohio State.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
