Therapy is a personal journey to a more fulfilling life. Working together, I will help you understand and resolve the difficulties you encounter along the way, including those which seem to happen over and over again. In time, you will learn more about yourself, the situations you find yourself in, your choices, and how you feel about these. You can increase your understanding of the people and relationships you are drawn to and of the various roads forward to choose from. Taking this inner journey has never seemed more important for coping with the stresses, worries, and powerful feelings life presents. Talking really helps.

It's all too much. The never-ending responsibility to care for others at work and meeting your loved one's needs at home is a heavy weight to bear. As a high achiever, you've always been able to take on life's demands. But lately, you're trying to do it all while feeling completely overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with self-doubt, anxiety, and sometimes even feeling debilitated/frozen. At the end of the day, you're disappointed in yourself for being short with others, going through the motions with no real joy, and realizing that none of your own needs were met. You're mentally exhausted, frustrated, & need help getting off this carousel.

(I DO currently have an open slot.) Many people seek therapy because they feel "stuck" in the same relationship patterns, or are finding their relationships unsatisfying, empty, or chaotic. Some hope to find help with low self-esteem/confidence; with difficulty bouncing back from stress or trauma; or with feelings of emptiness or hopelessness. And some seek therapy with the simple goal of understanding themselves more deeply. Therapy can help with all of these goals. If these reasons sound like yours, I may be able to help. My specialty lies at the intersection of personality, relationship problems, and PTSD/trauma.

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.
