My ideal client is thoughtful, motivated, and feeling stuck—often in ways that don’t fully make sense. Many are in committed relationships and struggling with communication breakdowns, mismatched desire, recurring conflict, or emotional distance. On the outside, they may appear high-functioning, but internally feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how they got here. They want clarity, relief, and real change—not just insight, but a path toward deeper connection, emotional safety, and a relationship (or life) that feels more secure and aligned.

My office is like a "living area" for private conversations. I enjoy helping individuals, couples and families who seek to move through seemingly intimidating, hopelessly discouraging or simply perplexing life stages.

I will face them with you.

Life can be overwhelming and challenging at times. Occasionally we find ourselves completely stuck in our suffering and pain. It doesn’t have to be that way. Counseling can give you a safe place to uncover the links between the past and the present, and also discover and release the unhealthy patterns and old memories that keep you stuck. It can help you develop self-compassion and enable you to tap into the path of resilience that dwells within each of us.

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.
