I like to create insight and action through better understanding the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, so I use many tools from CBT, but also integrate mindfulness practices and as well as tenants from ACT and attachment based therapies.
Do you feel like you "need to do it all" or struggle to reconnect with your partner? Becoming a mother can be one of the most beautiful and overwhelming transitions in life. I specialize in supporting women through the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood. Whether you're feeling exhausted, disconnected, or simply not yourself, you are not alone. Balancing all of the roles that you play can feel impossible and leave no time left for you to take care of you. Our work together is a space for you to reconnect with your inner strength, process what’s hard, and redefine motherhood on your own terms.

We have several groups available, and we accept insurance and offer a sliding scale. We believe therapy is for everyone. Contact us for a free consultation. Even if you don't end up seeing a therapist with our practice, we can help you find someone that you connect with.

My services vary in length and focus on cognitive and behavioral change in order to improve resiliency and quality of life.
Hello and welcome! My practice specializes in assisting individuals through transitional points in their life whether that is the loss of a relationship, new employment/career, retirement, job loss, infertility, the diagnosis of a chronic health condition, divorce, unemployment, accident/injury, or the death of a loved one. Often these transitions produce anxiety, fear, sadness, depression, and anger. It is not uncommon to feel "stuck" during these transitional points and speaking with a professional is often beneficial to process these changes/challenges.

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.
