I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Motivational Interviewing while allowing you to guide your treatment and set your goals.
I truly believe we are intended to feel connected and loved by others. When this does not happen then it can create insecure attachments impacting multiple areas of your life. People often hold onto negative beliefs about themselves or the world that impact their relationship and daily life more than you may realize. I believe your past does not define you, but may describe a lot of symptoms you are experiencing. With an attachment-based framework and trauma-informed approach, I hold so much hope for those looking to find abundance in their lives.

I also focus on cognitive restructuring, imagery exercises, mindfulness, communication training, boundary setting and grounding techniques.
What happened to you? This is the question that should be asked when a person decides to confront their trauma. So much of the focus is on "What is wrong with you?" that we fail to take in the traumatic events that led us here. Let’s work together to confront your trauma and make those healing steps forward. While I take special interest in traumatic experiences, I also have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, low self-esteem, OCD, life transitions, bipolar disorders, personality disorders, and major depressive disorder.

Therapists often give homework...I give you the framework for a successful relationship so you can give yourself the homework that works best for you so that "therapy" continues without me. Yes, communication does fall apart, but the underlying problem is the emotional reactions you have toward each other. I provide you a specific relationship action plan designed to improve communication, resolve conflict more effectively and rebuild trust in your relationship.

Ready to make meaningful changes in your life, but unsure where to start? Maybe you’ve already started making changes but want to dig deeper or reach higher. To move forward, sometimes we must confront issues from the past that are holding us back. Other times, we most benefit from guidance and support that teaches us to cope with present issues that are leaving us feeling lost, alone, stuck, or frustrated. My goal as a therapist is to bring light into those dark places by facilitating your journey to greater self-awareness, more effective communication, healthier relationships, and an overall more authentic and fulfilling life.

Currently Accepting New Clients: Does it seem like no matter how hard you try, communication with your partner remains a struggle? You might look like the ideal couple to others, but behind closed doors, you’re both feeling defeated, frustrated, and on the verge of giving up. Or maybe you're feeling the weight of all of life's pressures and painful things you've been through, and can't quite figure out how to be the man you're trying to be. I understand how painful it can be to navigate these feelings of disconnection and uncertainty. The anxiety of not knowing if things will ever improve can be overwhelming.

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.
