My goal as a therapist in private practice is to assist individuals in strengthening their mind-body connection through practices that lead to a less stressful and more resourceful life! My practice has a strong somatic based approach, but I am also experienced in more traditional modalities like CBT , MBSR, psychodynamic, positive psychology etc.
We all find ourselves on a different part on the spectrum, from dis-ease to wellness, at different times during our lifetime. How do we gravitate back towards well-being? That is an answer we can explore together as I accompany you through your journey to health! I have worked with adults in all levels of care and advocated for destigmatizing the need for therapy! My career started in 2008 working with severely mentally ill in crisis intervention for suicidal and homicidal clients. I now dedicate my time in healing mostly women and other minorities from trauma, and liberating them from daily norm imposed stress.

My therapeutic approach draws on a range of psychological, cognitive , and behavioral treatments.
Chronic pain can feel like a never-ending battle. You may feel like you’ve tried everything and nothing has helped. That takes a toll. My specialty as a health psychologist focused on pain management is to help people manage the frustration, fear, and grief that come along with chronic pain, to help make lasting improvements in quality of life. When it comes to managing pain, having a therapist who specializes in pain matters.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is effective for behavioral changes, psychoanalytic psychotherapy is effective for internal struggles/problems and has longer lasting results.
I provide psychodynamic psychotherapy for adults, College students and adolescents. This approach allows you to express internal thoughts and feelings and worries you have, and it can begin to help you understand them in a deeper way. Many people suffer from negative thinking and get stuck in that state of mind, thinking those feelings are their reality. It is only a partial state of mind, it holds us back from being more productive and enjoying life.

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.
