I have experience in several types of issues, ranging from stress, anxiety, depression, to trauma as well.

Do you feel weighed down by the past? Have memories of experiences from the past been blocking you from experiencing peace in the present? Unfortunately, you share this with more people than you probably know. Many people spend their lives trying to avoid, minimize, or erase those experiences. This can be painful, defeating, and exhausting, because those memories often will not go away.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looking at how your thoughts affect your beliefs, and help you to change the voice in your head.
Are you feeling like something is off? Is the "committee" in your head so loud it is interfering? Are you able to nurture your relationships, or are you neglecting to “feed” the relationship? These questions require us to take a deep, hard look into “self”, sometimes from a 20,000 feet above perspective. The idea of doing something different can be difficult, but change is necessary to facilitate growth. Together we can figure out what is working for you and what you can change to live a healthier life and be more content. Let's work together to change the rearview mirror approach of your past to be present and forward focused.

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.
