Congratulations on taking this first step toward your therapeutic goals! My journey into the helping professions began as a NYC educator and then as a clinician in school settings, where I provided a safe, affirming space for queer and gender-diverse students, supported adolescents in navigating emotional regulation and trauma recovery, and helped parents with responsive parenting techniques. These experiences along with my lived experiences as a South Bronx native have shaped my deeply rooted commitment to culturally competent and affirming care—especially for those in BIPOC communities who often face systemic barriers to support.

Anxiety looks different in every child, but no matter what form it takes, it can be excruciating for both the child and the parent. Whether your child withdraws to their room and won’t talk, gets angry and refuses to make an effort, works three times as hard as other children and still feels inadequate, or seems to need you so much they can’t function on their own, knowing how best to help is so hard. The good news is that no matter what anxiety looks like on the surface, there are evidence-based treatments that really work.

I primarily use CBT and DBT-informed strategies to support meaningful, sustainable change.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, ADHD, stress, emotional overwhelm, and challenges related to school, work, sports, relationships, and life transitions. Many of the people I see are capable and motivated but feel overwhelmed by persistent worry, overthinking, self-doubt, difficulty managing responsibilities, or uncertainty during periods of change. Others may struggle with focus, follow-through, school avoidance, or balancing increasing demands. Together, we work to better understand these patterns and develop practical strategies to navigate them more effectively.

I use CBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, play therapy, and family support to meet clients at their pace.
I understand that my ideal clients are driven, ambitious individuals who are ready to grow but feel stuck—whether due to lack of clarity, limited resources, or uncertainty about the next step. They want solutions that are not only effective but also tailored to their unique circumstances. Their goals often center on achieving measurable results, building confidence in their decisions, and creating sustainable success. What sets me apart is my ability to combine strategic thinking with genuine empathy. I don’t just offer a one-size-fits-all approach; I take the time to listen, understand, and uncover the deeper challenges.

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.
