A diagnosis changes everything, not just your body, but your identity, your relationships, and the future you thought you knew. Grief shows up in ways no one prepares you for. You mourn the life you had. You grieve the things your body used to do, the friendships that shifted, the relationships that changed, and the person you were before illness became part of your story. That loss is real, and it deserves to be treated that way.
This is a space where all of it is welcome. The fear, the frustration, the grief, and the hope. Together we'll work through the emotional weight of rebuilding and redefining life on new terms.

If you’re seeking therapy, something in your life feels off. Maybe you’ve done everything right, and your life hasn’t turned out the way you wanted. Maybe you have everything you ever wanted, and you’re surprised that you’re still not happy. Or, maybe you’ve spent so much time pleasing others, that you’ve never really known what you wanted.
This inherent uneasiness that comes with adulthood is often inevitable, but it doesn’t have to be permanent. You can learn to reconnect with your inner knowing—your true and natural self. I would love to help you on your journey through this process.

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.
