I use person centered, CBT and DBT, psychodynamic, family systems, and solution focused interventions to work through their issues and provide them with healthy and effective coping skills and increase insight into their struggles.
Clients can come to me facing issues such as relationship challenges, interpersonal stressors, life changes, parenting/career stress, anxiety and depression, body image, impacts of addiction, and trauma. We can work on goals such as improving overall life satisfaction, increasing coping skills to manage stress, improving mood, healing from trauma, and improving interpersonal relationships. Some different areas of focus can be on improving your life and the way you are living it, exploring and improving thought patterns, and gaining skills to talk more effectively to yourself and to the people in your lives.

I blend a variety of emotion and cognitive -focused approaches—always with a trauma and attachment-informed foundation.
I work with people coping with trauma and stress, especially stressors related to substance use, family of origin, parenting, relationship issues, and abuse. The cumulative worry, grief, exhaustion, and loss of hope that so often accompany these challenges can leave you feeling overwhelmed and alone. In our sessions, we will work together on short-term relief, along with deeper explorations oriented towards lasting change. New ways of relating to yourself and others bring about new experiences that reignite your sense of hope and nurture change. I offer calm, thoughtful, nonjudgmental support to you and your family on your journey.

I draw on several approaches for treatment including EMDR, mindfulness-based CBT , and traditional talk therapy, tailoring my practice toward the needs of each person. I use a humanistic attachment lens informed by interpersonal neurobiology. I primarily work with people who have complex intersections of identity and those who have experienced trauma. The trauma may surface through symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, or difficulty managing relationships. I work with a lot of individuals who have experienced complex trauma, developmental trauma, a single traumatic event, emotional neglect, and physical neglect.

Some frameworks tapped for clinical understanding are: attachment, psychodynamic, cognitive -behavioral, empowerment, and humanistic theories.
Why go to therapy? You might seek therapy when experiencing emotional pain or stress, even confusion about a situation or about yourself. Life challenges can pile up and seem overwhelming. Worry can interfere with relationships, work, or sleep. One goal of therapy is to relieve anxiety and every session should offer greater understanding issues and some anxiety relief. You might feel alone with your concerns—that’s normal. Therapy offers a place of understanding and acceptance, a place for problem solving, and for you to to feel safe with your feelings and thoughts.

Struggling with confusion and anger? Family, friends, co-workers taking you for granted, or don't listen? That's frustrating, and I'd love to help! Can't sleep, work, or focus on important matters because of ongoing arguments in your head, or an urge to find someone to blame? Maybe you feel trapped, and no matter what you do, that feeling of not getting anywhere makes it worse. It's so upsetting that slowly you are losing confidence in your sanity. Everybody experiences something like this occasionally. But your life doesn't have to constantly be this way.

We believe that therapy is an important life choice that people make when things get tough. This courageous decision must be honored with compassion, empathy, and sincerity. I began this practice because I am passionate about helping people and sharing in their journey towards greater health and happiness. It is important for people to feel safe in therapy, and thus people can feel free to say what is on their minds and in their hearts and will always be met with compassionate understanding.

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.
