Monrovia, MD 21770
I want my clients to know that, in therapy, we create a safe space for them to comfortably be their authentic selves. I believe that everyone has gifts and strengths that they can access, with support, to heal and progress. Circumstances, diagnoses or life events do not define an individual. Change is difficult and uncomfortable, but it is also essential for growth. I meet the client where they are and pursue an integrative, solution-focused approach, tempered with patience, empathy and a sense of humor.

Not accepting new clients
I offer an approach that is based on how our thoughts, feelings and actions all connect (commonly referred to as CBT); however, I have training in a number of other methods that I use to customize a plan of growth that works for you.
Sometimes in life, it can all feel like too much. Maybe it's one big stressful thing or maybe it's a bunch of small thing that have all added up. With life and work or school and relationships with family or friends... it can start to feel like you're losing the balance of it all. Maybe you have painful experiences from the past or are so afraid of what the future might look like. We all deserve a safe place to share our stories and find our path to a healthier version of ourselves. My job as a therapist is to support that process and empower you to see the strength you have to get there! Contact me to get started!

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.
