My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in evidence-based practices, including DBT, CBT, Seeking Safety, and mindfulness.
Navigating difficult challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them on your own. I work alongside you to create a supportive, collaborative space where we can make sense of what’s happening and clarify what matters most to you. Therapy is a shared journey where you’re invited to come exactly as you are—without pressure to have all the answers. Together, we explore what may be underlying the stress or sense of feeling stuck and discover tools and insights that truly align with your life. My role is to support you with curiosity, compassion, and consistency as you move toward meaningful and sustainable change.

Are you someone who can easily predict and prioritize the needs of others but you struggle to prioritize your own needs and self care? If you are the one who people always depend on, it can often look like you have it all together from an outside perspective. Unfortunately, that often leads to feeling disconnected from your own needs. This might show up in your life as difficulty relaxing, overthinking, worrying about the needs of others or even feeling as if your worth is connected to how much you contribute to your relationships. You don't have to keep holding everything alone.

I use a mix of CBT relational approaches with a social justice lens to help you make sense of the relationships and systems in your life that are weighing you down.
People who work best with me are those who feel caught in between what the world tells them they should be and what they want for themselves. You’ve been thinking about how to take that next step to break free, but you’re still hoping for clarity, and likely a sense of certainty of what you’ll encounter. You have a hunch that pushing through despite not knowing what’s ahead is the way to go, and a little more than a nudge would go a long way.

Hello, my name is Devon. One of my favorite quotes is by Carl Jung: “The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.” I believe this quote reflects the importance of recognizing that every client is unique and requires an individualized therapeutic approach. Constructing therapy to meet each person’s specific needs is critical to the success of the therapeutic relationship.

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.
