The life you dream of dreams of you too. Do experiences of depression and anxiety hold you to a narrative that no longer suits you?

The good news is that you are thinking about making a change. It is ok if you are not sure. I help clients sort through their reasons for making a change and for staying the same. We work together to uncover what is holding you back. In this process there are often images, myths or dreams that show up and that help guide change process. I encourage and support clients to explore the hidden gifts found in the shadow places in their lives and help them shed light on the purpose of old patterns before replacing them with something new and more effective.

Are you dealing with trauma, anxiety, addiction, stress, grief, or loss? Do you want peace of mind and to enjoy success?

Using Eastern and Western techniques I help clients 're-story' traumas and anxieties that allow them to achieve their goals.

My experience training/counseling prisoners in the United States and Indonesia taught me how often we imprison ourselves with our own emotions.

As a therapist, I use a combination of techniques and theories that are strength based and draw on interpersonal, humanistic,
cognitive
behavioral, experiential, and mindfulness.
Grief, loss and transition are an integral part of our lives and we often need help and support in coping and navigating through the feelings associated with these experiences. When we are thrown in the midst of change it can create anxiety and uncertainty. It also can be a lonely time when we question ourselves and the meaning of life. My goal as a therapist is to provide the care, support, guidance, empathy and skills needed to help work through difficult feelings in order to live a life filled with purpose and greater joy.

I work with my clients to create behavioral tools and
cognitive
strategies that work with their life and their personality.
Do you think you have ADHD? Anxiety? I am a licensed psychologist and I strive to help adults with anxiety and ADHD understand their strengths and propel themselves towards change. Through conversations, I want to explore how each individual's brain works and identify real-world supportive solutions. Focusing on how thoughts impact feelings can lead to the creation of unique behavioral strategies that improve quality of life and increase self acceptance. My clients work to accept themselves, forgive themselves for past mistakes, and embrace their current stressors as challenges to navigate and move through.

Addressing life difficulties can be overwhelming, stressful and isolating. It takes a lot of courage to overcome your obstacles, but doing it alone may not be enough. Pursing psychotherapy is the first step to elicit change in your life. My goal is to provide an empathic, safe, and understanding environment to help clients work through their difficulties together. The goal is to figure out what rings true to you, that has not always been evident. By working together, we can help you find greater joy, freedom and satisfaction in life.

I believe that every individual should receive therapy that is centered on one’s own wellbeing and desire for self-importance.

I have worked alongside BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, those within the criminal justice system, and intersecting identities. I have a background in supporting individuals who experience depression, anxiety, traumatic symptoms, personality disorders, and schizophrenia.

I am an integrative neurotherapist/psychotherapist, trauma specialist, and owner of an integrative brain-body wellness center called NeuroGrove. The people that come to us are often struggling with
cognitive
or emotional challenges, such as anxiety, posttraumatic stress, depression, attention deficits, memory issues, "mystery illnesses", or lasting effects following a concussion/brain injury. Many of these clients' struggles have not been adequately resolved through conventional medicine or psychotherapy alone, or they are looking for effective natural alternatives.

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.
