Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy ( CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) are three distinct therapeutic approaches that are often used to address various mental health and emotional issues.
I firmly believe in the power of personal connection. I understand that each individual is unique, with their own set of experiences, struggles, and aspirations. It is through fostering a genuine and empathetic relationship that I can truly help my clients navigate their challenges. In today's fast-paced world, where technology often replaces face-to-face interactions, personal connection has become more crucial than ever. I prioritize creating a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can freely express themselves.

Using primarily CBT and psychodynamic therapy I help adults with ADHD, depression and anxiety.
You strive to be the best, the best person, the best parent, the best, but you always feel like you fall short. Is it possible to adjust? Despite your best efforts, there never seems to be enough time in the day. After caring for so many others in your life, you struggle to care for yourself. You're constantly running on empty. Although you are aware something needs to change, you struggle to figure out what to do.

For as long as you can remember, life’s been a struggle. You learned early on that it was safest to stay small, quiet, and not make a fuss. As you got older, you found yourself repeating these same patterns in your relationships, enduring a string of toxic partners because you don’t believe you deserve any better. All the while, you keep a smile on your face. You take on more and more responsibility, spreading yourself perilously thin, hiding your feelings behind a successful facade. It’s exhausting, but it’s easier than facing the truth; that every day you feel more anxious, trapped, and disconnected. Something has to change.

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.
