When working with trauma, grief/loss, and depression I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness to change destructive thoughts, accept what is in our control, and teach clients to become aware and non-judgmental of self.
Have you experienced a traumatic event, or recently lost someone close to you? Have you been avoiding people, places and activities that may cause to you have intrusive thoughts, involuntary memories, or flashbacks? This can be extremely painful and debilitating but is a common response to trauma and loss. Unfortunately, many people learn to avoid topics related to their trauma or loss for fear that talking about it will cause uncontrollable painful emotions to arise. This can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, numbness, feeling detached from others and low self-esteem and can have negative long-term impacts.

My experience has led me to support this approach through the use of CBT, EMDR, and IFS to help individuals create a tailored treatment approach.
Seeking therapy takes courage; people often feel vulnerable when reaching out for help. We offer a non-judgmental space to explore, process and modify distressing emotions, thoughts, memories and unhelpful behaviors. We are two legged and four legged practitioners who focus treating PTSD, traumatic stress, anxiety, ADHD, substance use (behavioral addictions), transitional difficulties, and non-traditional relationship navigation.

I believe that growth occurs at the edge of our comfort zone. When we become complacent and just "settle", we have cut off our opportunity for happiness. Together, we can discuss obstacles, concerns, and life stressors, whether it be related to work, relationships, trauma, addiction, or life transitions. I strongly believe that it is important to meet each client where they are at. When this occurs, I am able to offer an integrative approach, combining different therapeutic tools and approaches to meet your individual needs. I have experience with and continue to see children (age 5+), adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Reality Therapy activities to confront negative thinking patterns.
Someone inspiring once said, “You are enough just as you are. Each emotion you feel, everything in your life, everything you do or do not do, where you are and who you are right now, is enough. It is perfect.” And I fully believe this to be true. Where you are right now may be challenging, how you feel right now may not be pleasant and what you’re doing right now might not be working. And that is okay - I'm here to help! Are you a parent-to-be struggling with anxiety/worry and boundaries as you approach this new life transition? Are you a new parent and don't understand your emotions or feel like you're drowning in life?

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.
