My specialty is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Do you have relationships in your life that just push your buttons? You leave conversations with this person feeling frustrated, inadequate, and upset. A parent or partner does not see you for who you are, they seem to make everything about themselves. And you are feeling the effects; you're tired, always hearing their voice telling you that you don't measure up. Fortunately, this doesn't have to be where that relationship stays. Counseling with me will help you uncover and recover from unhelpful patterns, beliefs, and behaviors. You will discover your confidence and find that you can be enough.

I am an LCSW with approx. 7 years of experience. I have worked with clients of all different ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds and in many different settings. My therapeutic style is integrative, but I tend to pull mostly from CBT, DBT, EMDR, and SFBT. I believe that interventions are unique to client needs and it is my opinion that the therapeutic relationship is the most important part of treatment therefore I work hard to connect to my clients. I pride myself on being openminded, understanding, and relatable and push my clients to work hard towards the change they desire.

I utilize techniques from Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
I specialize in working with young adults and teens. I have always enjoyed working with this age group. Being a teenager is such an important time of one’s life and there are so many decisions to made. I have worked with young men and women for the last seven years and love the opportunity to walk along their journey with them. During your teen and young adult years there are so many pressures: relationships, friendships, school, parents, your future, social pressures at school, exposure to substances, and figuring out who you want to be. I truly enjoy being part of the process when a young person finds themself.

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.
