Lakewood, CO 80228 (Online Only)
After graduating from the College of William and Mary with a Masters in Clinical Mental Health, I worked at an intensive outpatient clinic, supporting folks in addiction with an array of CBT, ACT and mindfulness training.
Some seasons of life make us feel like we’re running on empty, compromising ourselves for everyone else’s expectations. Constant negative thoughts, patterns and relationships can trick us into thinking we can't change this. If you’re sick of feeling constantly exhausted, numb, restless, or irritable - therapy can help. Together we can quiet your inner critic, prioritize your own needs without apology, and let go of the self-doubt, guilt, and shame that is holding you back. If this sounds like you, schedule your free consultation at rivercrestwellness.com/contact.

As your therapist, I offer trauma-informed care and utilize Parts Work, Identity work, CBT and DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness Techniques in sessions.
In many ways, our culture has designed an environment where perfectionism, anxiety, and depression are normalized, and a strong sense of self is lost. The individuals I work with are curious about who they really are as a whole human, and are open to exploring the perfectionism that has guided them. Other clients may have narcissistic or antisocial personality traits and a desire to identify and understand behaviors that may be hindering them. My commitment to the individuals I serve is to foster an environment that is free of shame and judgment, where they can finally explore their most authentic self.

Life can be really tough sometimes. When we’re facing our hardest moments, it’s easy to feel stuck, confused, and unsure of how to move forward.

I truly believe you are the expert on your own life, and my goal is to empower you to decide what you need and want moving forward, helping you achieve inner balance and well-being.

I utilize a psychodynamic approach while weaving together CBT techniques, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused inventions to create a holistic and personalized treatment plan for the client.
My personal philosophy revolves around the belief that counseling is a profound and transformative journey rooted in the establishment of a strong and empathetic relationship. At the core of this philosophy is the conviction that individuals thrive in an environment where they feel genuinely loved and safe. This secure foundation serves as a catalyst for personal exploration and growth. Everyone enters into therapy with different needs and concerns. I believe therapy is the process of deep wounds turning into scars. Hope can seem like a distant aspiration in that process. I am prepared to hold that hope until we can find it together

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.
