In addition to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, Neurofeedback allows me to discover disregulation in clients' brain activity.
"If you can change your mind you can change your life." - William James. I have helped individuals make changes in their lives since 2004 in neurofeedback, private practice, community mental health, and school settings. I regularly address issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, family stress, social skills deficits, self esteem, autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, suicidal ideation, coping skills and values identification. I see no greater accomplishment than helping clients overcome obstacles, feel good about themselves, make smart choices, and experience success. Together, I know we can create positive changes in your life.

Drawing from my expertise in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), parts work, CBT, and other modalities, I offer a unique approach tailored to each individual's needs.
Many of the areas I was drawn to specializing in are a result of having gone through challenging experiences myself. Much of my empathy is derived from knowing some of what my client is vulnerably sharing to help gently hold space and help them process. As I moved through my career as a therapist as well as my own experiences as a therapy client, I was directed more toward modalities I found effective for my clients as well as myself; some of these approaches include attachment-focused EMDR as well as parts work.

I tailor my approach to each individual's needs and personality, but lean toward strength-based cognitive approaches and draw from a variety of theories, strategies, and techniques including EMDR.
Everyone's journey in life is filled with challenges that often help us to understand more fully who we are. Sometimes it is helpful to have another perspective, a guide, or tools to navigate these difficult stretches of the journey. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families in counseling for over 20 years and was an educator prior. I work with a wide variety of clients, but have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, divorce, parenting, life transitions, personal discovery, and spiritual issues.

I'm trained in EMDR, CBT, Client Centered & Gestalt play therapy, and therapy for neurodiverse individuals.
I love working with individual clients of all ages. I worked with children as a teacher for years, using humor and play, but I realized the relationship is really what I valued about the work; so I left teaching and became a counselor! Through humor and compassion, my style is up front, working side-by-side with clients of all ages. In addition to talk therapy, we might also use expressive arts, play, or incorporation of other activities based on whatever the client needs.

The human experience can be overwhelming and can leave us feeling alone, invisible, and “stuck.” Therapy can be a fantastic tool in helping those who are ready to make changes move forward towards their authentic selves- the people they want, and enjoy to be. Therapy is not a one-size fits all activity, and I believe that the role of a clinician is to match client needs with eclectic interventions. In my practice, I utilize many different evidenced-based therapies, including CBT, ACT, EMDR, EFT, COSP, Theraplay, mindfulness training, mediation, and more.

CBT promotes skills to self adjust thinking patterns and behaviors.
I support individuals in their desire to heal and improve their quality of life. Sessions are focused on the development of concrete skills to manage emotions and thought patterns which influence our behaviors in conjunction with EMDR. I have recently integrated Neurofeedback into my practice for which I have more immediate availability and no wait list. Clients have described me as straightforward and "no nonsense". I create an active healing environment, more than just talk therapy. The goal is always to achieve the ability to function without therapy in the most effective and short term manner.

We go to therapy because we want to feel better. Dealing with anxiety and low self-esteem can feel like a package deal, and can make it hard to feel mentally healthy day-to-day. For many women, these symptoms may be associated with relationships, previous traumas, or negative body image. No matter what has happened to you, I believe it's possible to find healing, relaxation, and confidence. Finding a therapist you like can be hard, so please take your time to look around, ask plenty of questions, and reach out if you think we may be a good fit!

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.
