My clients are often navigating the challenges of a cancer diagnosis, living with chronic illness, caring for someone with a serious health condition, or grieving a loss. They’re looking for compassionate support and guidance as they face the stress and realities of their circumstances, as well as someone who can help them hold onto hope. Many are seeking a therapist who truly “gets it”—someone who understands the unique emotional landscape of these experiences and can offer new perspectives, validation, and support as they explore questions of identity and meaning in the midst of a new reality.

I anchor my practice in CBT, DBT, ACT, Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating principles.
You only have one body. Accepting it can seem impossible in a society that values thinness. Our brains learn that actions like restriction, over exercise, binge eating, avoidance and control help us to feel better in the short term. Yet, ultimately lead us to feeling worse mentally and physically in the long run. My goal is to help you break these patterns by teaching you how to untwist your thinking, build realistic strategies you can use forever, and identify your untapped strengths.

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.
