My approach is warm, empathic, and creative, and I utilize a collaborative therapeutic process informed by Psychodynamic,
Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt, and Masterson's psychotherapy theories. There are many reasons to come to therapy, and usually a person begins because something is bothering them, and they may be feeling "stuck". In therapy, you can work towards feeling better, improving the areas you are struggling in, and addressing the life obstacles that you may be facing. I believe each person brings their unique strengths to the process as well as issues they would like to resolve.

My training is in
CBT
and empirically proven mindfulness and acceptance based practices.
We’ve been through a lot these past few years, maybe longer. You somehow are keeping it together, but it’s been a long time since you’ve felt you are thriving. Many of us are too anxious or distracted to experience life fully. Procrastination is interfering with doing the things you know would help. Perhaps resentment or dissatisfaction has taken over your relationships- Maybe your older child or adolescent is struggling, Or perhaps you are dealing with something more intense; gender questioning or transition; a history of trauma; a significant loss. You've been thinking about finding support, now maybe you're ready.

I can help you using my favorite approaches of
CBT
and Mindfulness.
My passion for psychology and human behavior started when I was in college. I thought my purpose was to be a lawyer, little did I know that one flyer trained me to become an advocate for victims of crime and sexual assault. As soon as I started working with victims of crime on an emotional level, rather than on a legal level, I thrived. My purpose is to help you explore the root cause of the problem. The needs of my clients all differ but ultimately the goal is to heal. Your trauma is the worst trauma. With my clinical expertise, compassion and empathy we can work together.

I really enjoy working with people who want to be helped with painful feelings and experiences that have interfered with their sense of well being. All of us are limited by upsettingly negative emotions that make it harder to accomplish things that would make our lives richer, more comfortable and secure. I base my work on the principles of Mindfulnes Based

Behavior Therapy. This approach has been shown to be very successful helping anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, phobias and many other individual and relationship issues. Like most experienced therapists, I also integrate ideas from other approaches whenever appropriate.

cognitive
behavioral methods into my work.
Welcome! It takes courage to reach out and find a therapist. Maybe you have an inner dialogue that is critical, have trouble initiating things and following through, are experiencing relationship struggles or are curious about why something keeps happening even though you mean to change. Sometimes the relationship between food and body is complicated and talking about it can help you to understand more fully. Loss of identity due to a change in job, parenthood, career, sexual identity or physical illness may make you need to explore new ways of interacting with yourself and those around you.

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.
