Using CBT, Mindfulness, and Psychodynamic Therapy, I provide a nurturing environment that promotes self-exploration and progress.
You’ve been gripped by anxiety. Control over your thoughts and emotions is tenuous at best. Self-doubt has turned you into your own worst critic. You’ve tried to overcome the anxiety by yourself but have only found temporary alleviation. The endless worry has led to burnout and a sense of inadequacy. Even your closest relationships have become strained. You wish you could share your experiences without judgment. You long to live a life free from the constraints of anxiety. If only there were someone who understood what you’re going through and be your guide.

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a type of therapy that explores the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Therapy to me, in the most basic of senses, is about what is possible when two people form a genuine relationship. That is what I strive to do with my clients, show up as my full self and use what I have learned to help support them however they want to be helped. In my experience, when two people show up as their full selves and are willing to put in the work, moments of insight occur that reverberate outside of the therapeutic space and change lives for the better: anxieties begin to lessen, the heaviness of depression begins to feel lighter, life transitions feel less overwhelming and more manageable.

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.
