I utilize a solution-focused, as well as a cognitive/behavioral approach to guiding individuals, couples and families toward the positive change they desire.
"Therapy is for the weak." "Pull yourself up by the bootstraps!" "You don't want to put your business out there?" We've heard them all. And by following these unwise axioms, we've unnecessarily endured an existence filled with fear, anxiety, frustration and pain. You don't have to accept this for yourself or your relationships! The key to a better way of living resides in you, awaiting to be discovered.

I offer faith-based therapeutic intervention to help you with relevant and powerful tools to apply throughout your life! In a cognitive-behavioral, person-centered approach we will incorporate your faith to bring clarity, action, and meaningful change to your life!.
It’s a world of commotion! And for many, it’s not only outside of us but raging within us, as well! Where is clarity? Where is real help? At one time or other we all get stuck in our relationships (marital, parent-child, sibling, in-laws, employer, social), our life experiences (past, present, or future), and by emotion overload with things in, and things out, of our control. By themselves, or combined into a perfect storm that levels you flat, these challenging situations can create a desperation for relief and answers!

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.
