I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In sessions we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the best way to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. In treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those negative thoughts and core beliefs to create better mental and emotional health.
