My goal is to help my clients improve their ability to cope with their stressors, grow as people, and move toward self-betterment all while increasing their self-esteem and self-love along the way. Life transitions, even positive ones, can leave us feeling alone, stuck, confused, anxious, and even, despairing.

Use of short-and long-term client goal-directed techniques, as well as ego psychology and
cognitive
behavioral skills, promotes insight and healing.
Encountering hardships and barriers to growth is common in the life cycle. As we strive to maximize our potential, we are dared to identify how to utilize our life experiences as lessons learned, versus crippling barriers. Meeting these demands & achieving one's goals is the focus of a therapeutic partnership. Such a relationship examines impasses, & simultaneously converts them to opportunities. This leads to a greater sense of fulfillment. COVID-19 lingers and confronts us with ongoing threats and concerns for the wellbeing of ourselves and others. This extraordinary time, like any new life event, demands new coping strategies.

Sigmund Freud said, “Love and work are the cornerstones of our humanness.” Indeed, these two themes are often what bring people to therapy and may underlie symptoms of depression and anxiety. How does one enter and maintain relationships? What is the dynamic that my partner and I co-create and how do we alter that? Does my work align with my values? Does my perfectionism get in the way of living a full and vital life? A clinician for over 20 years, my approach is practical and strength-based, helping people from all walks of life develop the skills to effectively address immediate concerns, as well as long-standing problems.

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.
