I have a passion for working with children, teenagers, and entire family systems.

When anxiety and depression get the final word, we end up missing out on the life we truly desire to live. We all want to care for the people we love, experience success, and feel peace, but even our deepest values seem impossible to live out when we feel like we can't enjoy the present moment. Therapy offers the support we need to focus on what matters to us, even during painful or unexpected seasons. Pulling from acceptance and commitment (ACT),
cognitive
-behavioral (
CBT
), and client-centered approaches, I journey with clients as they process their stories and offer practical tools needed to experience relief and authenticity.

If you or your child are suffering from an OCD or an anxiety disorder you are not alone. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness and yet most sufferers do not have access effective treatment. The good news is that if you or your loved one is troubled with unwanted thoughts or worries, physical symptoms due to anxiety, perfectionism, phobias, health fears, or any other anxiety there is help.
Cognitive
-Behavioral Therapy (
CBT
) and more specifically exposure therapy has repeatedly shown to be the most effective approach for defeating anxiety and OCD.

Some of the different techniques I utilize with my clients include
Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy (
CBT
), Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Strengths-Based techniques, though these are just to name a few.
Mental health has maintained a negative stigma over the years, but as time has passed, it has fortunately become more openly discussed. How often have you questioned the way you have reacted to someone/thing? How often do you question whether or not you are "normal" due to the different feelings you are having? Mental health is just as important as physical health, and it is so important to find someone to support you through that growing process. Therapy is essential! Having a therapist gives you "your person" in which you can feel safe to talk about whatever is in your mind, and to normalize the overall healing 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.
