As a licensed professional counselor I strive to create a comfortable, relaxed and confidential environment. Seeking counseling for yourself or a loved one can often be scary and overwhelming. I work to make the initial process as easy as possible in order to focus on the therapeutic relationship and your personal goals. I view all clients as individuals and therefore work to facilitate a therapeutic model that best fits the individual, family, or marriage needs.

I have completed Gottman Level 1 & 2 Training, and integrate IFS, teach CBT/DBT skills, and use ACT and mindfulness techniques to balance psychoeducation, experiential work, talk therapy, and relational dialogue, promoting openness, honesty, curiosity, pattern identification, self-confrontation, and growth in relationships both inside and outside.
Not only are we individuals with our own thoughts, feelings and experiences, we are part of a more complex network of family, culture and community. That looks different for everyone! Learning how to navigate and nurture our personal development is crucial, and yet understanding ourselves within the greater context of our relationships remains equally important in setting one up to thrive and grow. I work with individuals, couples and families to identify patterns that are keeping them stuck and resource their personal strengths to foster and develop new ways to interact with themselves and others.

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.
