I understand that seeking help can be intimidating and discouraging for many. Negative stress can emerge for various reasons, which can lead to feelings of chronic unhappiness, constant worrying, low self-esteem, anger, shame, guilt and even physical pain. Perhaps you’ve experienced a difficult childhood, troubled relationships, or unexpected life transitions. Therapy can be a supportive way to assist you in navigating through these challenging feelings, beliefs, thoughts and situations that may arise.

My ideal clients are teens and adults navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, personality disorders, sexuality, intimacy, relationship issues, and/or LGBTQIA+ concerns. Many come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated by patterns that seem to repeat despite their best efforts to change them. Therapy is a place to better understand those patterns, learn practical ways of responding to them, and work toward a life that feels more manageable and authentic. I believe therapy works best when people feel accepted for who they are while still being able to have honest conversations about what's getting in the way.

Cognitive Processing (CPT) Therapists
How does cognitive processing therapy work?
A CPT therapist helps a client evaluate their thoughts about the trauma they experienced, focusing on maladaptive or self-blaming thoughts that can exacerbate symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or depression. The therapist will work with a client to help them learn to challenge such thoughts and consider different perspectives. The therapist is also likely to ask a client to work on these techniques at home between meetings, such as writing an account of their trauma that can be read aloud during a future session.
What is cognitive processing therapy for PTSD?
Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy primarily used in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to treat individuals who experienced abuse or violence, who survived natural disasters, who were first responders to such incidents, or who otherwise experienced trauma.
How long does cognitive processing therapy last?
CPT is a short-term therapy. Whether conducted one-on-one or in a group, a complete set of CPT sessions typically includes 12 weekly sessions, along with tasks for clients to complete at home, although this can vary depending on a client’s needs or a therapist’s particular treatment plan. Sessions typically last 60 or 90 minutes.
How effective is cognitive processing therapy?
A large body of research supports the use of CPT to treat people experiencing PTSD, finding it to be effective among different age groups, either in one-on-one therapy sessions or in a group therapy environment. Research suggests that although the initial sessions may be difficult, clients tend to begin to feel positive progress after the first few sessions, and that the benefits tend to last well after the therapy ends.
