I am trained in Attachment-Focused EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic Experiencing.
Welcome! I'm Tana and I work with adults and teens to overcome and cope with stress, anxiety, panic, depression, and PTSD. I believe good therapy starts with trust, compassion, and a strong therapeutic relationship. Let's face it, if you don’t at least ‘kind of’ like your therapist it’s not going to work. That's why I focus on making sure I’m the best fit for you and that I spend the time to really understand your goals and your experience. I want you to feel understood, and empowered while we work together to give you the right tools and insight to make positive changes in your life, your relationships, or your career.

Hey there! Deciding to start the journey of therapy is something people come to for so many reasons. To heal trauma. To grieve. To vent. To find the way through a huge life transition. To discover who they are. To learn better ways to cope. To find a way to become un-stuck when things just aren’t working. It is about sitting through feelings in a safe space where you can develop new patterns and experience emotional wellness and healing. I practice from a variety of theoretical frameworks, drawing on aspects of Cognitive -Behavioral and Psychodynamic approaches through a trauma-informed lens.

It can become familiar feeling. Feeling stuck in the same routine, not really knowing how to step out of the cycle you have become so accustomed to. Sadness and anxiety have come to feel so normal that it's hard to imagine that life could be any different, but what if it could? In the safe space we create together you can process through a past that may be hindering your day to day life, or maybe even identify current cognitive distortions that are standing in your way of a new perspective. If you're ready, let's get you to who you want to be. I look forward to meeting with you!

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.
