Life is hard and is often so very different from what we imagined it would be. We wrestle day in and day out with disappointment--the sadness that comes from recognizing the gap between reality and how we imagined our lives would look. We lament the gravity of our history and the way it has come between us and our dreams. We suffer the shame of recognizing how our choices have shaped our current situations. We study the wounds we carry as reminders of the pain that has been inflicted upon us. We mourn our weary past and fear the unknown future. After all we've been through, how can we expect to hold onto hope for a better tomorrow?

We all have a story to tell. We are made of thousands of them– from the haiku to the novel. Whether you feel like you’re spinning in circles or out of ideas, therapy can offer a fresh perspective through a clear lens. It can help wipe the fog off your glasses with the help of an objective outlook. You may feel like you are seeing Signs. Or hearing Sirens. Maybe from a direct Trauma. Or things are manifesting subtly throughout the fabric of your relationships. Whatever it is, you don't need to manage Your Story alone. You are worth it.

I love what I do, and I know why I do it. Since 2007 my focus has been coming along side of people and assisting them with challenges they face in life to become the most authentic and genuine person they were meant to be. In my own journey I've come to accept and appreciate the gifts I've been given, even if they're seemingly unrelated. I love my work as a therapist and I will always be passionate about performing music. How the two coexist within me is the journey I'm on. My focus has been in becoming a better therapist each day ... but I also know I'll never stop playing guitar and performing music, it's part of who I am.

I GOT U! Untraditional Approach that BRINGS results. Most clients face procrastination, lack of motivation, and a feeling of being stuck and not knowing what to do on a daily basis. Many do not feel "understood" and perhaps have been told they were "dumb" or "lazy." Many want to be more independent and less tethered to their loved ones. My clients want strategies, ASAP, that they can use for better organization, planning, self-advocating, communicating AND self-care. Many clients "hate school" or dislike their jobs/relationships, but don't know how to react. Often, it's "simple but not easy." Modeling good strategies is my strength.

Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists

What should I expect from rational emotive behavior therapy?

The therapist will work with the individual to recognize rigid thought patterns that sabotage goals and set them back. The objective is to identify, challenge and reframe negative thoughts and enable an individual to understand that they possess control over their emotions and their behavior. This therapy often emphasizes the use of reasoning and self-direction.

Is rational emotive behavior therapy effective?

Rational emotive behavior therapy is evidence-based and is highly effective. It helps a person reframe self-defeating or catastrophizing thoughts and gives them tools to approach a range of circumstances they may encounter post-therapy as well. REBT can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.

When do I know if I need treatment with rational emotive behavior therapy?

If an individual’s mind is filled with rigid, unreasonable thoughts that dwell in negativity, they may feel stuck. A rational emotive behavior therapist can help a person examine and change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior. This concise and concrete therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

How long does rational emotive behavior therapy last?

REBT therapy treatment is short-term and focused in nature. It can last for a set number of sessions, ending within a few weeks or months. Like any type of therapy, however, sessions depend on the individual, as well as the severity of their condition or problem. The individual may wish to ask the therapist about typical progress and how long they expect treatment to take.
