Counseling for Lasting Positive Change: I offer counseling for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, identity development, trauma, life transitions (parenting, divorce, and empty nest) and for those wanting to work on relationships. If you want to change your role in how you handle current life circumstances, the clearest path is by making positive changes in your own life. Let me help you navigate this path to your change.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) are effective techniques that empower you to change your life.
Everyone has times in their life when they need help. Therapy can help you get back on track, build skills to navigate daily life, increase your confidence, and build connections with others. I integrate a physiological and mindfulness approach into counseling to give you applicable skills for change. Please note my primary office is currently located in Florida. I am licensed in Oregon and provide online and phone counseling to Oregon residents. My therapy dog assistant is also available to participate in video sessions.

I come along side my clients to help with healing from personal and emotional issues that interfere with their well-being. My hope is to encourage the growth and recovery process. I use Adlerian therapy to help resolve past issues and Cognitive-Behavioral therapy to teach coping skills and healthier ways of thinking and feeling. I believe there is a reason for all issues including depression, anxiety, low self-worth and trauma and I help with discovering that and creating a plan to resolve them. I enjoy helping a person become more capable of making choices and decisions that align with their personal goals.

Feel Overwhelmed? Find yourself feeling stuck in a cycle? Have you tried to work on this on your own, only to feel frustrated or defeated. You're not alone. It can be difficult navigating traumatic experiences, waves of grief, the depths of depression, and/or the sheer grip anxiety can have on us. Also sometimes our brains are just diverse within systems that aren't always supportive. Life can be really hard at times, even when you are trying your best. Yet, still there is hope. There are people that care & want to help support you in your journey. Change, healing, insight, and growth are all possible with collaboration & courage.

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.
