I use various therapeutic models, including strength-based, cognitive behavioral therapy ( CBT), attachment therapy, mindfulness, etc.
Hi there! The decision to seek therapy can be a difficult one. Life is unpredictable and stressful at times. If you feel sad, helpless, anxious, overwhelmed, having difficulty with past trauma, self-esteem issues, a life transition, or difficulty in your personal/professional life, you don't have to go through this alone. Together we will work on ways to process and cope with what is causing distress. As a clinical therapist, I strive to make therapy a comfortable and nonjudgmental place where growth and improved functioning can begin.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which will teach you how to look at facts over feelings, change the way you think, and feel better as a result.
Do you feel like you look well put together on the outside but you're struggling with anxiety, overthinking, and fear on the inside? Do you get stuck in your own thoughts, spiraling about upsetting people or doing the wrong thing? I help anxious career women struggling with people-pleasing and perfectionism learn to set healthy boundaries with less guilt, shame, and fear. As a career woman who generally has her shit together, you don't feel you have enough trauma to justify your anxiety. You've tried meditation and deep breathing-didn't work. You don't want to burden others but you need someone to talk to who knows how to help.

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.
