I believe through Psychodynamic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy, we will be able to focus on our unconscious mind and identify the root causes of current life stressors.
Specialty: Anxiety and Inner Child Trauma. Are you at a place in life where you want to achieve your goals and live out your dreams, but you feel stuck? Do you need someone to talk to who will just listen? Do you feel like issues from your childhood or past are affecting how you feel, think, and behave, & are affecting your ability to maintain meaning relationships? I’m a nature-loving psychotherapist. I’ve always used nature to cope with my anxiety & daily life stressors. I’ve been an over-thinker and nature photographer (safespacesisi) since I was 14 & I’ve been practicing in the mental health field since 2018!

I utilize an integrated approach of Person Centered/Humanistic and Cognitive -Behavioral Therapies.
Hello! If you are looking for a therapist to listen to you as the expert in your life and explore your thought processes which have led to life events and circumstances, then I may be therapist for you. We find ways to cope with depression, anxiety, stress, uncontrollable life events such as divorce, moving, and the expected events of adjusting to the maturation process throughout life that are not always the healthiest. Even with the best plans and the best support systems, we may need to re-evaluate so we can update our thinking processes to ensure we are present in life and attempting to make our best choices.

We'll use traditional therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, meditation, dreamwork, effective stress-reduction tools, and lifestyle changes.
You have an intuitive, spiritual, or metaphysical perspective. You're pursuing an inspired life, yet there's too much tension inside. Anxiety, heaviness, or history of trauma can weigh on your heart, and make it feel impossible to manifest your dreams. Perhaps your empathy/sensitivity is creating challenges. But with an experienced counselor drawing from a variety of approaches, you can grow in clarity and empowerment. You'll experience calm confidence that you're not missing out. With time, you'll be surprised at the peace and joy you develop about your path.

All of us get "stuck" at some point in our lives. It doesn't mean we are broken; rather, it means we must find our way back to a path of healthy and effective living. Sometimes, like quicksand, the harder we try to get out, the more we feel like we are sinking.

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.
