I use techniques such as CBT and mindfulness to challenge automatic negative thoughts, psychodynamic and attachment based approaches to build a trusting, safe, nurturing relationship, and EMDR to process trauma, including small ’t’ traumas that can affect our ability to be fully in the present.
Are you feeling blocked? Have you been trying to make changes but keep getting stuck? Do you wish your career would take off? Or that you would be happier in your relationships? Maybe depression, anxiety, or an addiction is getting in your way. My speciality is working with adults and adolescents that are wanting to create a fulfilling life by breaking through the barriers that are holding them back.

My approach is versatile, drawing from psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral perspectives, integrative and existential approaches, mindfulness practices, Buddhist principles, solution-focused techniques, and humanistic modalities.
Therapy offers a space to discover where our inner observer may be hidden and how we can bring it forward through the unconscious layers. It allows us to identify the aspects of our self-dialogue that contribute to our dissatisfaction and to feel emotions aligned with our experiences. This is the path to change, where we, as a team, can help you embark on the life you've been waiting for. Whether you're dealing with addiction, family conflict, identity issues, lack of passion, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges, I provide a space where we can address these concerns together.

In my practice, I use a person-centered, culturally sensitive, and integrative approach, while utilizing modalities like MI, CBT, and traditional talk therapy.
We are each on our own path, and it is through our relationships and experiences with self, others, and the world around us that we begin to grow and heal. Life can hold us back from engaging in the change we want to see. Whatever difficulties you may be experiencing, whether it be generational trauma, issues with attachment, struggling with depression, your spirituality, or any other distressing experience, I will walk the path with you, as I believe healing is a journey in which you do not have to walk alone.

I tend to think of therapy like tupperware. It's a safe container to unload, feel, and heal from life experiences so that we can better adapt to hardship and change. We all don't live in the same world. Many have been missed by people or systems that fell short. Whether we have a communal or a lone wolf mentality, our (dis)abilities are visible/invisible, who we love, our religious/spiritual beliefs, and, race/ethnicity all inform the ways we experience life. This is why a blend of Humanistic, evidence-based CBT & DBT theories, and traditional wisdoms, shape the foundation of my approach.

I believe in a strong therapeutic relationship using treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral, Psychodynamic and Humanistic Therapy to help overcome some of these struggles.
Being able to have meaningful relationships in your life takes effort and can make a difference in the difficult situations that you may face during a lifetime. Sometimes the ghosts from our past make it hard to trust and communicate with our loved ones. Your past and present environmental stressors and relationships can shape who you are today and create feelings of depression and anxiety. At times, doing anything to cope seems necessary. However, with therapy, you can find those strengths that you already have and bring them to light in order to change your quality of life for the better.

If you or your child suffer from OCD or other anxiety disorders, you're not alone. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness, yet most sufferers don't receive proper, evidence-based treatment. OCD/anxiety can cause problems socially, academically, professionally, and create chaos with family members. The good news is that there is help. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has repeatedly shown to be the most effective approach for defeating OCD and anxiety. CBT creates new neuro-pathways by changing the way you think and behave. It's basically exercise for the brain. The more you flex those brain muscles, the stronger you become.

I integrate cognitive behavioral, family systems and psychodynamic treatments that are personalized to each client and their needs.
Life is about feeling connected, sharing in the joys and sorrows, and striving for something better, a better you. Therapy is a place where you can share and explore the challenges and achievements that make each of us an individual. I believe that forming a safe, non-judgmental relationship is fundamental to therapy and what guides the healing process. We work together in order to gain insight and learn healthy coping skills in managing challenges faced and the feelings associated with them. I believe that the most difficult job is working on ourselves but it is also the most rewarding.

I utilize CBT, DBT, EMDR and psychodynamic approaches in my practice and am experienced in addressing depression, anxiety, loss, relational problems, trauma, major life transitions, and LGBTQ-related issues.
It is continually inspiring to be part of the collaborative exploration of how we think, feel, function, and experience the world around us which occurs in therapy. In my work with clients and in my own therapy, I’ve seen how a relationship with an empathic professional can be critical in developing self-understanding and making practical, positive changes. My goal is to create a warm and nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable and safe, while also providing honest and direct feedback to support your growth.

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.
