CBT and EMDR are the primary modalities of treatment utilized in sessions.
I became a Clinical Social Worker because I strongly believe in its principles of social justice and social equality; I mindfully incorporate these principles into every session. I believe everyone deserves empathy, compassion, healing, and has the capacity for change... if they're open to it. Does now feel like it's TIME? Enough is enough? The weight of depression, anxiety, trauma, society, family issues, distorted eating/body image struggles, the power of shame, the sleepless nights; all can be addressed and healed. I am passionate about empowering clients with the tools and insight to heal themselves.

I am trained and skilled in the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT ) and am a Certified EMDR therapist.
Sometimes it’s our present situation that we need help sorting out. Sometimes it's fear of a new experience or making a difficult decision. Sometimes we carry traumatic memories from our past that impact us still today, maybe something that has never been discussed or addressed with anyone before out of shame, guilt or fear. I acknowledge in advance the courage involved to take this step, and you can be assured you will be provided a safe, respectful and non-judgmental environment to address your situation.

Limited morning and early afternoon availability only. Sometimes our thoughts inhibit our ability to enjoy life and live in the present. How we react to those thoughts is so important, yet for many of us, we rely on strategies that are ineffective at best and harmful at worst. Often, we get stuck in a cyclical pattern of thinking, and we can feel our anxiety growing. There is a way out of this.

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.
