No matter this is the 1st or the 10th time that you are looking for a psychotherapist, it could still be nerve-wracking. I am here to walk alongside you on this journey. I am culturally sensitive and inclusive. I believe that our identities influence how we experience the world and how we present ourselves, but don't necessarily define us. To better understand how external factors influence us and how to better understand and accept ourselves are both essential in the personal growth and healing process. Psychotherapy is one of many ways of getting there.

I am a skilled clinical psychologist who can help you explore your interior self. I hope to assist you to increase awareness, improve relationships and learn healthier coping skills. Talking through and processing problems - and understanding the roots of recurring issues - can lead to a fuller, richer life. Depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues can inhibit people from reaching personal and professional possibilities. I will engage with you to explore emotions and reactions, and provide an objective, neutral and supportive environment for you to understand who you are.

My approach is integrative, drawing on mindfulness techniques, parts work and
CBT
.
I believe that we naturally have the resources within to navigate life's challenges. Sometimes anxiety, depression or other barriers get in the way of actualizing our potential or keep us feeling stuck. Our struggles may relate to difficult past or current experiences, patterns of behavior or thinking that no longer serve us. In therapy, I will meet you where you are in terms of your goals and what you'd like to accomplish. My approach is client-centered based on the belief that you are the expert on your experiences.

My approach to tackling life's difficult moments is via the interface of classical Judaeo-spiritual teachings and the psychological approach of
Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy. (
CBT
). The
cognitive
behavioral approach to psychotherapy teaches that ideation determines the way one feels and acts. Changing the way one thinks triggers a change in the way one feels. I also use "a strengths perspective" focusing on the client's stengths which serve to compensate for one's weaknesses. The interface of these three approaches is transformative, and life changing serving to help a client return to his or her innate and authentic self.

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.
