I utilize therapeutic interventions tailored to each individual’s needs and personality using evidence-based practices such as DBT, CBT, through a strengths-based lens.
Welcome, lets get started! As a therapist, my goal is to help individuals gain insight into their everyday lives, thought process, behavior patterns, and overall well-being. Life can be challenging, to say the least. Whether its relationships, family dynamics, self-esteem, or all of the other ongoing life stressors and responsibilities you have to manage, I am here to support you in striving to achieve your full potential. By providing a safe and judgement free environment, I strongly believe that meaningful growth can be made, and that no one should have to do it alone.

Our clinic provides treatments such as Psychoanalysis, CBT, EMDR, DBT, EFT and specialize in problems related to Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Marriage/Couples, Addiction, Hoarding, Food Disorders, and Grief.
Healthy is Wealth! Stress is a normal part of life caused by the challenges we face everyday. But when these challenges become overwhelming and lead to excessive anxiety, sadness, fatigue, tears or triggers us to abuse food, alcohol, drugs, or engage in risky activities, then it’s time to seek professional help. Negative thoughts/behaviors are our body's "alarm system" that informs us something's wrong and needs our attention. Left untreated, mental health problems can wreak havoc on our mind and body. Let's talk and see what's going on.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists

How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?

Cognitive behavioral 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 catastrophizing 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 behavioral therapy?

It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral 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 behavioral therapist for someone else?

To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral 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.
