I am a cognitive behavioral therapist primarily.
In this fast paced and ever changing world, sometimes it takes talking to someone who will not judge or draw incorrect conclusions. I am a seasoned counselor who sees the world through the eyes of the client. Through the years, I have counseled people from all walks and perspectives. I like to help others find what they need to provide stability for their unique circumstances. I feel people are the experts in their own lives. I simply help to provide the path to a more fulfilling life. I use cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral techniques in addressing these issues.

I meet clients where they are, empower them to draw from the strength they already possess while moving them toward healing, & utilize CBT (changing and reframing thoughts, automatic negative thoughts, negative beliefs, etc).
Are you a young adult woman experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and even trauma? Self-discovery and creating/finding identity are goals I work best with. In my most recent job, I have found that domestic violence survivors and women who experience issues specific to being a woman have piqued my interest. As a therapist, the most rewarding thing is to guide women toward embracing themselves for who they are, heal past wounds, and empower them to live fully and authentically. I believe I have been given a purpose in this world to serve others, and that's what I was created to do.

I have a unique approach tailored towards high achievers that combines my 9+ years of trauma-informed and CBT-based psychotherapy with a coaching model to help you activate your goals.
I specialize in “helping the helpers” prioritize self-care and heal from chronic stress, burnout, overwhelm, and exhaustion. Most of my clients are high-performing professionals, leaders, administrators, healthcare providers, caretakers, teachers, therapists, and entrepreneurs. They tend to center their lives around their work and often over-give to a point of depletion. Many are also highly sensitive persons who find themselves more easily overwhelmed, overstimulated or drained by their work. I help them make real, strategic changes to relieve current stress patterns, maximize their impact and prevent future burnout.

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.
