I combine several research based approaches (including cognitive behavioral and emotionally focused therapies).
Is your marriage a battleground and a source of disappointment rather than a source of peace, fulfillment and joy? Do you tell yourself that your partner makes it difficult for you to be the person that you want to be? Are you feeling stuck and sometimes even hopeless--worrying that your relationship might not get better? Are anxiety and other uncomfortable emotions making life hard and upsetting? Do you struggle with anger and often feel out of control? Do you long for greater peace, freedom, and hope in your life and relationships? If so, I can help.

Over the 38 years I've been practicing psychology using mostly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with application of biblical principles, it has been such a privilege to see individuals and couples begin to smile again as they learn how to overcome obstacles in their lives that cause anxiety, depression, and feelings of overwhelm.
Many people go through days, weeks, months, and sometimes years coping with stress, trauma, and other issues that eventually come to a head. Consequently they become mentally and emotionally tired. Thus, if you are ready to take control of your life and start living out your true desires, when would be the best time to start?

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.
