I incorporate strengths based,
Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, EMDR, & Trauma-Informed care into my practice.
You are having a hard time making decisions related to a relationship, career, or life. You feel like no matter how hard you try, people in your life do not respect you or value your effort. You are trying to do everything “right” to try to make other people happy and running away from what it is that you want because it doesn’t feel as important. I specialize in working with women to bring awareness to how you are genuinely feeling, in your mind and body, to help discover and set boundaries around what you truly want for yourself without worrying about other people’s expectations or needs.

I provide a collaborative, person - centered approach that may include acceptance and commitment therapy,
cognitive
behavior therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy.
Life can be really hard, and sometimes the hardest part is asking for help. Humans are complicated, social beings who have been cut off from society and routine for the past two years. If you have a history of mental illness, relationship issues, identity concerns, mood changes, or life transitions, those feelings may have been exacerbated by our current world. If you are ready to ask for help, let me offer a relaxed, non - judgmental space to provide mental wellness. I have worked for close to a decade with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and personality disorders.

" Some of the main modalities I use to guide clients towards greater self-awareness and those "I got it" moments are
Cognitive
Behavior Therapy (
CBT
), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and attachment theory.
The question, "why now?" is one of the most simplistic, yet deeply profound questions to ask when deciding to enter therapy. Discovering your "why" is one of the first steps of moving towards what therapy is ultimately about: self-awareness. As a therapist, I don't claim to have all the answers or a magic cure. In fact, I think the most profound and lasting changes in therapy occur as clients come to a deeper self-awareness of their own lives. I view my role as a therapist as being able to partner with clients and walk alongside them as they journey towards greater self-awareness.

DBT combines
cognitive
behavioral therapy and mindfulness skills, giving participants the opportunity to learn: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, & Interpersonal Effectiveness.
Life can be hard, and no one knows this better than adolescents, young adults, and the families who love and support them. Intense emotions; urges to engage in impulsive behaviors; navigating social situations and the stress of school; difficulty getting along with parents; the politics of Snapchat, etc! The instability of this time of life offers both challenge and opportunity. Therapy can support young people to harness the chaotic yet formative nature of this time as a catalyst for lasting wellness and growth: Explore one's identity; develop effective coping strategies, practice interpersonal relationship, heal trauma, and more.

My main technique is
Cognitive
-Behavioral Therapy (
CBT
), which helps clients change both behaviors and the thought processes behind them.
The one consistent feature among all therapy techniques is talk…it’s how we connect. That means the quality of talk therapy depends on the communication abilities and wisdom of the clinician. Beyond pertinent questions, I value the ability to simply listen, to truly “hear” clients’ narratives...with compassion and acceptance. My background includes individual, family, and couples therapy for a variety of issues and mental health conditions.

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.
