Using mindfulness with CBT and psychodynamic therapy is key to transforming old thought patterns into new adaptive ones.
Who you are is not up for debate. I place the intersections of identity at the forefront of my practice because identity frames who we are and how we experience the world. Those who experienced Childhood Sexual Abuse know it can negatively impact every area of your life. This type of trauma can lead to isolation, guilt, shame, sexual problems, depression, anxiety, relationship troubles and so much more. It is time to take back your life. I can help you break free from the hold your past abuse still has on you today. Together we can explore new interventions and tools, develop new skills and rewrite your narrative. You deserve this!

I draw from mindfulness, IFS, CBT, coaching and more.
Artists, musicians and creatives - you may have unique challenges for personal needs and artistic goals. Do you compare yourself negatively to others, face perfectionism and anxiety, battle inner voices that tell you you’re “not ready” or not worthy? If so, NOW is a great time to talk. Growth and innovation don’t come from staying in the "uncomfortable comfort zone"! In therapy, you'll find new strategies for mood swings or stuck situations (with your partner, band, team, family.) You'll have support and accountability. If you have painful or traumatic memories to process, I'm here for you. Artists don't have to struggle alone!

I draw on a variety of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness techniques to best meet the unique needs of my clients.
There are times in life when our usual coping strategies and support networks are not enough and feelings such as anxiety, depression, helplessness, and inadequacy can take over. It is at these times that psychotherapy can help to successfully navigate life's challenges. I help clients to better understand how past and current experiences impact their current wellbeing, and to make positive changes that will contribute to improved feelings of competence in managing relationships, changes, and other stressors more productively. I specialize in working with individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, relationships, life transitions, parenting, and loss.

I engage in continued training in cognitive behavioral therapy ( CBT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF- CBT), and motivational interviewing (MI).
I have always considered myself to be a good listener, someone people feel comfortable with when sharing worries, fears, and concerns. When deciding on a career path, I always knew working interpersonally with people was where I felt most confident. My training was focused on childhood trauma, and have translated that knowledge into working with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, and substance abuse issues. I love working with clients hoping to gain insight and build on motivation to improve various areas of their life and functioning.

I incorporate evidence-based mind-body practices (MBSR, IFS, CBT) and tailor my approach based on each person's unique needs.
We all have times where we hit roadblocks that get in the way of finding balance and peace in our work, our relationships and our health. These experiences may distort the perceptions we have of ourselves; bringing up feelings of fear, frustration, loneliness and burnout. Through exploration and introspection, we can identify your obstacles and develop realistic tools to manage stressful circumstances, allowing you to create the life you want.

I use methods such as cognitive behavior therapy which can include homework assignments, motivational interviewing which will help to explore and resolve ambivalence.
When you determine that you should seek counseling services I keep in mind that each individual is different biologically, psychologically, sociologically and economically. I also understand that receiving a diagnosis will have an impact on you, your family, friends, lifestyle and social situation. As a counselor I am aware that left untreated many disorders can escalate and in some cases as in substance abuse cause chemical changes in the brain, with mental disorders left untreated can have a negative impact on your life.

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.
