Painful experiences impact us throughout our lives, harming our sense of self and changing our life paths. You may be dealing with scary thoughts, gut-wrenching emotions, intrusive memories, and perhaps panic, guilt or shame. The loss, trauma, and abuse that can occur in our relationships, families and experiences impacts our bodies and our minds. You deserve to heal, and step into a future where you feel resilient, empowered, peaceful and accepted as you are.

I have experience teaching TF- CBT and DBT in a group setting and would like to start a men's group to develop an awareness of both intervention models.
If I were born at any other time, I would be a priest, a healer, or a cleric. Helping people is my mission. I became a therapist because of my interest in hearing people's stories and working on the most essential part of our bodies: our minds. I think it is easy to find yourself in a hopeless situation, not understanding how you got here or where to even start unpacking all the things that made this mess possible. I've witnessed many people say, "I don't know who I'd be without it." This is a chance to discover with me who that person is and what you want to achieve out of life. I believe change is possible.

I use CBT, somatic therapy, depth psychology, jungian approaches, and family systems therapies.
You're accomplished, driven, intelligent, and responsible. People around you know and respect the work you do, and lean on you for support and guidance. You’re recognized for your accomplishments, and pride yourself on your passion for the work. And yet, despite all your success, you also experience fear and difficulty with connection. It's all starting to feel like too much. You might be trying to escape the nagging feeling of dread, overwhelm, or sadness through using substances, overworking, or zoning out as soon as you get home. This isn't who you want to be, and you're ready for things to change.

I received training in CBT from the Beck Institute, strategic therapy from the Erickson Foundation, and couples therapy from Gottman and Doherty.
When faced with a medical challenge, whether for oneself or a loved one, life seems to stand still. In that moment, nothing matters more than getting a diagnosis. Yet even after the diagnosis, life shifts into a new normal filled with medical jargon, appointments, and constant health concerns. These thoughts occupy every conversation and waking moment. The emotional toll, compounded by the fear and anxiety of the illness, feels overwhelming, making the struggles seem insurmountable.

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.
