If you’re feeling stuck in anxiety, overthinking, or self-doubt you’re not alone. This 8-week group focuses on helping you understand anxiety, break patterns like rumination and avoidance, and build practical tools you can use in everyday life. Rather than trying to eliminate anxiety: strengthen your ability to handle it so it stops running the show. You’ll learn how to challenge “not good enough” thinking, set boundaries, and feel more confident in your responses. Details: 8-week closed group (adult women) Weekly 60–90 minute sessions April 30 – June 25, 2026 $200 total (insurance receipts available)
I use CBT, DBT, EMDR, and EFT, but more importantly, I help you figure out what's actually going on beneath the surface.

Heartful Parenting is an approach to raising children that emphasizes emotional connection, empathy, and mindful presence. It encourages parents to tune into their own feelings, their child’s inner world, fostering trust and secure attachment. Instead of reacting with control or punishment, caregivers respond with understanding, patience, and guidance. It integrates self-awareness, compassionate communication, and respect for a child’s individuality. By modeling calm and kindness, parents help children develop resilience, emotional intelligence, and healthy relationships. It is less about perfection and more about being present, authentic, responsive in everyday interactions and challenges, while nurturing growth for both child.
My therapy practice is a combination of Trauma informed practice, DBT, CBT, EFT, Gottman Couples Therapy ( Levels 1 & 2), and Prepare-Enrich Facilitator for pre-marital and marital counseling.

How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?
Cognitive behavioural therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophising or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioural therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioural therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
