I utilize a variety of evidenced-based modalities to guide our work, such as: EMDR, attachment focused therapy, cognitive and skill-based techniques, somatic therapy and mindfulness skills.
Accepting new clients! You want to feel better right now but you don’t know where to start. You experience overwhelm and the voice inside your head is harder on you than anyone else- especially when you are feeling anxious, “not good enough,” or other emotions. Managing these symptoms with your friends, family, and other relationships is challenging. You are finally ready to discuss what’s been bothering you, whether that be trauma or other events that may have contributed to your personal feelings and experiences. I am here to support you through this journey.

My primary modality of psychotherapy stems from the psychodynamic and interpersonal perspectives, although I also employ cognitive behavioral and existential techniques.
My successful clients are active psychotherapy participants who are dedicated and motivated for change. Introspective, he/she thinks about therapy outside of the office and attempts to use the knowledge and insight gained to improve relationships, goals, and life satisfaction. At times, psychotherapy requires difficult work from both the therapist and client, and the outcome is predicated by the mutual effort vested in the therapeutic process.

For that reason, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT) to help you recognize the things that you do have the power to change.
Do you feel like your partner has turned into your roommate? Is it difficult to find joy in the things you once loved? Do you feel like negative emotions are taking over? Do you feel stuck? It is an intimidating process to seek help when things just aren’t right. Here is some good news…by searching for help, you’re already on the path to feeling better and having more meaningful relationships! Even though it may not feel possible right now, the suffering that you are experiencing can be alleviated. Often we don't know a way out of our pain, and that is where I can help with new perspective and a safe space to express your thoughts.

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.
