Maybe things didn't turn out exactly as planned. You had hopes and expectations about what life "should" look like. You might be feeling paralyzed by decisions, anxious, lost, or alone. Maybe you’re having second thoughts…What if this isn’t exactly the situation you wanted or the future you dreamed it would be? Change isn't easy, but with the right support, it is possible. I primarily work with female-identifying adults, as well as teens and adolescents who are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, narcissistic abuse, grief, and codependency.

I am intensively trained in dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), I incorporate Mindfulness and Cognitive behavioral Therapy ( CBT) techniques.
Happiness is a Journey not a destination! We try to pick the best path for our lives, but sometimes those paths takes us down roads with trauma, depression, anxiety and grief. A lot of what was experienced was out of our control, and also probably made us feel out of control. Through therapy we can work through these traumas and difficult life events. We can work on developing tools to manage anxiety and depression to keep them at bay. We can work on improving ourselves to be the best version we can be, and continue walking through life knowing we made those positive changes and can overcome even the hardest of challenges.

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.
