While I have a strong focus on cognitive -behavioral therapy, I also incorporate elements of mindfulness and solution-focused therapy to help you to make the changes you want to see.
Life is full of good times, hard times, curveballs, and changes. Even when things seem to be going well, it can be difficult to enjoy it when the stress and pressure we place on ourselves tells us that we aren't measuring up. Therapy can be a great way to better understand ourselves and learn new ways to cope with those changes and feelings. Whether you are looking to learn new skills and strategies, process past experiences, or just find a safe place to vent and talk through the thoughts that are weighing on you, I'm here to walk with you on that journey.

I use evidence-based treatments of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT ) including Trauma-Focused (TF- CBT ), Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Therapy can be a comfortable place to unpack life’s “uncomfortable” moments. I believe therapy is collaborative and that a relaxed, honest and, at times humorous, communication style is important to creating an authentic environment. Personal growth best happens in a compassionate and supportive atmosphere. I am a licensed independent social worker who specializes in treating children, adults and families who seek a greater understanding of how their behaviors and emotions are connected to their life experiences. I can help you discover how your own natural strengths can be used to foster resilience and independence.

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.
