As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I have training and experience in EMDR, Trauma-Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Neurofeedback Therapy, Pre-marital and Marital Therapy .
I am a licensed Therapist who specializes in Neurofeedback Therapy (a form of reward biofeedback). Starting with a QEEG brain map I am able to directly treat the brain with neurofeedback and bring relief from anxiety, depression, PTSD, sleep disorders, ADD and ADHD and many other mental health issues that impede functioning. EMDR is another modality I use which addresses past emotionally-charged experiences which can overly influence your present emotions, sensations, and thoughts about yourself helping you break through the emotional blocks that are keeping you from living an adaptive, emotionally healthy life.

Whether your troubles are new or old, big or small, or something in between, I am here to offer a safe place for you to share your story, feel heard and supported, and discover a new sense of joy and purpose in life. Note: My professional focus is women of all ages, 21+

We all want to feel connected, nurtured and loved in our relationships. When disconnection happens, we experience both emotional and physical pain; loneliness and isolation keep us distant. We get trapped in negative cycles and aren’t sure how to reconnect in love and trust. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) can help you stop the cycle, heal the relationship pain that keeps you stuck, improve communication and bring love and connection back into your relationship. In addition to being an EFT therapist, I am also a national provider for Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) a model that treats trauma and PTSD.

My counseling philosophy is grounded in trauma-informed practices, meaning I value collaboration, empowerment, and emotional and physical safety above all else. In time, clients will gain a richer understanding of themselves while working towards self-determined goals. I am especially attuned to those experiencing LGBT issues, trauma, and depression, as well as various non-monogamous relationships and organizing for social justice. As a social worker and through lived experience, I am highly aware of the daily social, institutional, and communal injustices that impact different historically oppressed people.

My counseling style is primarily cognitive-behavioral or behavioral in nature, including parent-child therapy.
My primary clients are individuals between 2 - 21 years (Adults on a case-by-case basis). I work with children and their families to provide more information about current presenting social, emotional, and/or behavioral concerns through a thorough assessment (i.e., 5+ hours of direct assessment) and/or through counseling. In counseling, I alone cannot change the person once per week or every other week; parents are key to successful treatment by implementing appropriate strategies, support, and structure needed for improvement (i.e., there is work for the adults too!). I can also help with navigating the school system. So, "How can I help?"

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.
