All of our clinicians are trained in and practice the most up-to-date, empirically supported treatments.

My approach to treatment is integrative and holistic, drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic theories, and humanistic perspectives.
What are your goals for therapy? Maybe you are seeking to reduce distress; understand the intricate connections between emotions, thoughts, and actions influenced by environmental factors; improve both intra and interpersonal relationships; discover meaning in life; maintain a sense of balance; foster personal growth; and explore creative solutions. As a clinical psychologist based in California, I specialize in working with adults facing challenges such as bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders.

In my mind, the ideal psychologist is validating, transparent, practical, and experienced. As both a board certified CBT and DBT therapist, I teach tangible tools to get "unstuck" based on scientific research within a nonjudgmental, warm, environment. My hope is to help you move toward the life you want and create some distance from the thoughts and behaviors that might get in your way. My goal isn't only to help you feel better, but to holistically live better. I really enjoy working with college and graduate students, people pursuing life changes (such as career, relationship), and individuals facing medical problems.

I utilize CBT, DBT, EFT, and Short Term Solution-Focused appraoches, among others.
Most people can benefit from change and growth. I look at people or situations from a open and empathetic perspective and seek to see things through their lens. Different things propel us to do what we do, and when we can identify it and accept it, we can then CHOOSE what to do and how to respond rather then "let" things happen. Life happens, yes, but learning how to deal with it and manage it is where the beauty lies. I have 10 yrs of clinical experience, and a life time of life experience. I want to help people become the best version of themselves. I also recognize that each person is unique. Not 1 size fits all.

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.
