Trauma lives in all of us. We all carry our histories. Trauma is in our lived experiences, it is not about the traumatic event, rather about how it impacts us. Our perception of self, the aftermath on our nervous system & how it disconnects us from ourselves and others. Our brains have natural healing mechanisms. My practice is based in neuroscience. We can neurologically rewire & relearn; creating new, less destructive circuitry within the brain. Don't let your struggle become your identity. Become empowered to overcome life's toughest challenges!

There appears to be a never ending increase in anxiety and depression these days. If I had to chose one thing I specialize in would be anxiety. Interestingly enough anxiety touches all human issues. In a nut shell: Anxiety increases when ever a person is faced with something that they either lack the developed skills and abilities to deal with. For example, wanting to saying no, or setting limits provoke ANXIETY! I help people understand that the anxiety is signaling a need to develop new behaviors. This is the road to freedom, doable with adequate guidance. there is only one fear Fear the unknown. I use humor as anesthesia.

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.
