My specialties and experience include the following therapies/ focus: adjustment disorders, bereavement, DBT,
CBT
, depression, anxiety, and relationship stress.
Anxious? Do you feel like your brain gets stuck? Are you worried about what COULD happen? Are you getting easily irritated towards loved ones? Maybe you are feeling sad, overwhelmed, or having a difficult time with life's changes. Reaching out can be frightening, as well as the idea of these symptoms worsening. I provide a safe, comfortable environment for you and/or your child/family to connect, feel heard and understood, and learn the tools needed to get back to functioning at the level you desire. Let me help you turn life's challenges into a journey of bravery and self-care.

Now in Huntington too! Therapy is a place to pause, reflect on what you are seeking in life and explore the barriers preventing you from taking that next step in your journey. Life changes or chronic situations can throw us off course, leaving us to feel out of sync, confused, & disconnected from life. Whether you are looking to reconnect, find purpose, learn new coping skills, process trauma or loss, manage anxiety, deal with shame or make a life changing decision, therapy can be a safe place to discover the power you have within yourself to design your own solutions & find new ways to navigate challenging situations.

I am well versed in techniques associated with evidenced-based approaches that are client-centered, strengths-based and self-determined utilizing techniques, knowledge, and skills from Trauma-Informed Practice,
CBT
, IFS, SFBT, Mindfulness Based & Somatic Therapies, Healing & Expressive Arts Therapies (art, music poetry, creative writing, play etc) .
I strongly believe that everyone is unique and everyone’s story is unique; therefore, different approaches are essential in working with a wide variety of people. I am a true believer in the concept of “words shape beliefs” and, in that vein, saying “I do not know” or “please help” are powerful words since vulnerability often leads to growth and healing. One of my favorite quotes is by Viktor Frankl who said "When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves."

Emotional and behavioral challenges in childhood and adolescence affects the child and rest of the family unit as well.

I offer therapy services for children ages 3 and up, as well as adults and families for the diagnosis and treatment of emotional, relational, and behavioral concerns, as well as offer support services and psychoeducation to their caregivers and other family members.

I believe that many people think humans are always supposed to be happy- and that if they are not, something is wrong. I recognize nothing is “wrong” with a person who experiences pain or suffering, because pain is a normal part of being human. I practice a blend of
Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients learn how to manage their thoughts and emotions without suppressing them, in order to make values-based decisions. I additionally practice EMDR to help individuals safely reprocess traumatic experiences that impact their emotional health and well-being.

My counseling theories used during therapy include
Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Gottman Method.
None of my clients are failures or broken because they choose to come to counseling. In fact, I believe everyone grows up learning unspoken rules about what they should and shouldn’t do as a decent human being, when in reality, there’s a lot of rules that simply need to be readjusted. If you're currently struggling with your past, present, or future, let me take some of the burden off your shoulders. I currently am scheduling individual adults, college students, and teenagers. I especially love to help individuals struggling with dating/relationships issues and folks with low self-esteem/confidence.

If you do decide to work with me, our therapy appointments can be anything from simple supportive therapy, to skill building via
Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy (
CBT
), to multiple intensive trauma informed EMDR sessions per week.
Stressful and terrifying experiences can leave people feeling isolated. Feeling detached from others and like no one can understand what happens in your mind makes it difficult to interact with people. It’s hard to be hopeful when you are experiencing mental health symptoms like this, but you’re here looking for someone to talk to, and that’s really wonderful. If you’d like, check out my website and see if I’m someone you could chat with. We can set up a time to talk on the phone for a no cost 15 minute consultation so that you can get a feel for who I am.

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.
