Do you find yourself struggling to feel truly happy, no matter what you do? Are you someone whose life looks "good" from the outside, and yet it still feels like something is missing? Maybe you are not happy with some of the choices you are making and feel the need to make some changes. Maybe a life event has highlighted the fact that you're still not as happy or content as you want to be. Or maybe you just want to gain deeper insight into yourself and your past experiences, and you're ready to start creating new patterns in your life.

I feel it is important to offer expert quality care that is compassionate, and tailored to each person's uniqueness as an individual. I have 38 years of clinical experience working with children, teens, families, and adults facing various life challenges. Time passes quickly. We often spend our days unhappy, and stressed. Sometimes it can be difficult to see beyond the hardships, and realize what matters most to us. If you can't change a situation, change your perspective.

I shape my approach around what works best for each client, drawing from CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed approaches.
Accepting new clients! If you’re feeling overwhelmed, overbooked, or just over it-especially as a teen or adult- I get it. Navigating life with ADHD, anxiety, or everyday stress can leave you feeling misunderstood or like you’re constantly falling behind, even when you’re trying your hardest. It’s exhausting to feel misunderstood, out of sync with yourself, or unsure of what’s next. One minute you’re expected to have your life figured out, the next you’re drowning in group chats, deadlines, and internal chaos. If your brain is constantly racing, your emotions feel like a rollercoaster, or you just feel off-therapy can help.

My training provided me with a strong foundation in Family Systems Theory as well as Psychodynamic, Existential, Object Relations, and Cognitive Behavioral Theories.
The quality of one's life can be greatly enriched through the personal growth and healing that takes place in psychotherapy. As human beings, we cannot control all the things that happen to us in life, but with help, we often can find ways to bring some positive meaning to unfortunate events. I believe that many of the solutions to our problems lie within us, so I work with clients to help them unlock their own unique strengths and overcome obstacles to resolution.

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.
