While I see the value of all therapeutic approaches and incorporate aspects of each into the therapeutic process in an integrative approach to benefit my clients, my approach is primarily Cognitive Behavioral and Client Centered with a Psychodynamic emphasis.
My goal as a therapist is to have compassion and respect for my clients in a nonjudgmental manner while working to identify negative automatic thoughts, the influence on behaviors and emotional regulation. I also find value in exploring the impact of early childhood relationships and the impact on relational patterns formed in adulthood. I strive to build a strong connection and relationship with each client in an effort to tailor each experience to your specific needs. Whether you are seeking individual growth or striving for resolution in couples counseling, we can work together.

I am certified to provide Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (T-F CBT).
When an individual experiences trauma, they may naturally develop ways of managing challenging emotions and stress. However, over time, coping mechanisms that were once helpful, can become maladaptive and begin negatively impacting one's relationships and other areas of life. Together we'll explore how your defenses are keeping you stuck. We'll challenge negative patterns, build healthier habits, and create a life of purpose and fulfillment.

You are trying to escape the control of a fundamentalist faith community/lifestyle, that holds great personal meaning to you; but you’re conflicted about leaving the dogmatic, authoritarian belief system in which you find yourself. You want to make sense of the damage that has been done by indoctrination. Or perhaps you experienced chronic abuse in a harmful religion and are trying to sever your connection to the faith, but you have no idea how to go about it? Have you experienced confusion, inability to think critically and have negative beliefs about yourself? You may be experiencing Religious Trauma Syndrome.

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.
