Based on this, my therapeutic approach to counseling is to connect with individuals on a genuine and deep emotional and cognitive level.
Life can be rough and its easy to get into a place where one may feel overwhelmed or stuck. Its hard to find solutions, make decisions, or find a path out and it's often helpful to talk to a genuine and supportive person that can help to untangle all the things that race through one's mind when we are in a tough spot.

I favor CBT therapy over most paradigms along with focused and empathic listening.
I believe my clients are seeking peace. They also seek validation of their feelings. Mental health is a daily practice of introspection. Just as we become aware of physical symptoms, we should also be in touch with intermittent sadness, sudden agitation, an inability to get out of bed in the morning, etc. Many of us lead busy lives and sense no one has the time to fully listen. Therapy provides a safe and secure place to express feelings, without judgement or bias.

Whether it's a single life event, or a perpetual problem you are looking to resolve, it would be my privilege to walk with you on your journey.

We offer therapy for ages 5+, couples, and families using EMDR, CBT, Play Therapy, EFT, holistic interventions, and the Gottman Method.
We’re the right fit for people who feel like they’re carrying more than they can hold—but keep showing up anyway. Our clients are caring, capable, and exhausted by anxiety, grief, disconnection, or the pressure to have it all together. Some are navigating identity, family stress, or major transitions. Others just want to feel like themselves again. Whether they’re 5 or 65, single or partnered, they want real support from people who show up. They’re not looking for surface talk—they want honesty, depth, and a therapist who genuinely cares.

I use an approach of CBT, EMDR, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help you process your trauma, overcome negative thinking, and lead a more fulfilling life.
You may feel like your life has taken a left turn and you're having trouble getting back on the right path. Maybe there is past trauma, addiction, self-doubt, anger, depression or anxiety making this path hard for you to find. There is a quote from Paulo Coelho that I think sums up my approach: "Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place." You have the power to make the necessary changes, and therapy is a great way to find this power within you.

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.
