Are anxiety and low self-worth regulars in your life? The process of recognizing old stories, beliefs, and patterns can be overwhelming. It can bring up confusion, fear and grief. Changing old ways, that once kept you safe, can feel ungrounding and chaotic. Shifting what you've been familiar and comfortable with is deeply challenging and takes a great deal of strength and vulnerability. I believe healing, growth and change are lifelong practices, and transformation requires time, space, patience and self-compassion. Therapy can offer a safe and caring relationship that supports you in doing this life changing work.

With modalities like DBT, CBT, EFT, motivational interviewing, and EMDR, a custom treatment plan can be created to help each individual.
Starting therapy is a courageous first step toward making changes in your life. It is often your most courageous self (your self at best) that gets you to take this step. I personally know how hard it can be to reach out for help. I believe that while we can be strong and do it on our own, we can find ourselves merely enduring our circumstances. At times, the strategies we create to manage anxiety, depression and trauma can be helpful, and other times they can make things worse. By recognizing this and working together, I hope to help assist my clients get farther than they have been before.

Have you been labeled or judged by others or had to hide a part of your identity? Are you fearful of others' judgments? I identify as a gay man and I understand the struggle. I am now though.

Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT), EMDR, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing, I tailor each session to your needs and goals.
Many sensitive individuals carry the weight of trauma, grief, or early abuse in ways that linger quietly, shaping how they experience relationships, navigate change, or respond to stress. These deep wounds can surface unexpectedly, often feeling like they overshadow everything else. My goal is to help clients recognize these patterns, explore their origins, and reclaim agency in their lives. I especially connect with those quiet yet powerful "a ha" moments—when things begin to click and life starts to feel more possible.

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.
