Sometimes life is hard. It can be difficult to make it through. Things may pile on, one after another, and just when we think it can’t get worse, it does. Sometimes we forget who we are, our purpose in life, and our value. If this sounds like you, know that you are not alone. It would be my pleasure to sit with you, hear you, see you. I believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important aspects of counseling. It is through the relationship that healing and change occur. I offer individual therapy sessions for a variety of mental health disorders.

Through my integrative therapeutic approach I utilize emotions-focused and
cognitive
techniques to join you where you are at, while also stoking insight into underlying and historical patterns that are connected to recurrent issues.
Are you exhausted and ready for change? Sometimes you don’t even have space to identify why you are feeling the way you do, but by slowing down and taking time to acknowledge your experiences, past and present, you can reengage with your story and discover what you need in order to live more wholly. We all long to be seen, known, and loved; but, we often have internal barriers that prevent us from experiencing these things.

Are you tired of feeling like you are on a roller coaster with your emotions? Do family and friends say "you're too much"? Therapy is the place to help sort out your feelings and learn skills to help with the roller coaster.

Although I cannot make it easy, I can sit with you, so you are not doing this work alone.

I believe psychotherapy is a mixture of psychoeducation (providing information to help people develop new coping and relationship skills), emotional processing (learning to identify and work through uncomfortable feelings), and corrective emotional experience (using the counseling relationship as a safe place to experiment with new interpersonal skills). I utilize a mixture of
Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy (addressing how our thoughts and beliefs impact our emotional experience, self-image, and behavior); Family Systems Therapy (helping people gain insight into characteristic relationship patterns); and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (understanding how ways of coping developed earlier in life may not serve us well in the present).

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.
