I employ several therapeutic counseling techniques such as Short Term, Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive and Trauma Based Behavioral, Person Centered, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness approaches.
After twenty years of practice, I continue to find that people are best served by a counselor who is emotionally and psychologically available to them in a time of need. I have enjoyed strong effectiveness working with depression, relationship conflict, grief, and anger management. I work with couples, older adults, teens, and children. These experiences have inspired me to incorporate multiple approaches that fit the personalities, interests and needs that people bring to my practice.

I believe that through a strong empathic working relationship clients are capable of finding clarity and contentment in their lives. It is my job to help you through difficult times and provide you with the tools necessary to move on in your lives in a healthy way.

There are several forms of therapy I use including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
Welcome to my practice! I specialize in helping older children, adolescents, and adults with mental health concerns. This generation is facing so many challenges that weren't experienced by earlier generations. Anxiety, depression, self-harm, addiction, social media, school related incidents, pornography and isolation are just a few of the issues facing our young people today. Older generations are having to adjust to the new normal which can be extremely overwhelming at times. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I'm here to help my clients navigate their way through these difficult times.

I will determine the depth of depression and anxiety and treat each one alone, or whatever mental or physical diagnoses that one may be experiencing I am by training a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, however I use many research based therapies depending on what is best for the needs of the client.
My specialty is a client who has trauma, and they've have never had the help they need for it. They have depression and anxiety and want to lessen them and cannot remember key childhood memories. They may have sought counseling for, but they are still being triggered in their life, and still have not got the relief they so desire. They may have also struggled with substance or other abuse, and they may have given up, or are still seeking relief. The tenets of trauma are multifaceted and the person is impacted emotionally, physically, and mentally, and want to find out how to deal with their past/present to be happier and whole.

I believe the counseling process empowers people and I consider myself a guest in the client's world. Using an integration of Humanistic and CBT approaches, emphasis is on the client’s process of self-discovery through direct experience. Thus giving the client the freedom to look within and then exercise freewill for change to occur.

I primarily work from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy framework.
Too often we go through life feeling less than okay. Many people never slow down to assess their own well-being. We settle for feeling less than our best because we haven't stopped to take a closer look and do the work within ourselves. If this sounds familiar, I can help. I believe that offering a nonjudgmental perspective to you can help you build the life you want. Trying to change all at once is overwhelming, but improvement in one area can often bring progress in another. I am here to be a guide in this process, whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, or another issue.

I have in-field experience working with marital and family relationship conflict, anxiety, depression, anger management, self-esteem building, trauma, and adolescent behavioral work, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Experiential therapy in this practice.
Although society is growing to understand the importance of mental health, caring for our well-being is not always encouraged or seen as a high-priority; but, our ability to know ourselves and process through life events is foundational to freely living the life we hope for! Are you having difficulties caring for yourself or others around you? Do you feel as though the circumstances of life are overwhelming? Is it difficult for you to form healthy connections and relarelationships? Is your relationship or child struggling? If these questions struck a chord, I would love to be a helpful stepping stone in your journey of 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.
