I understand that making the decision to enter therapy is not always easy. Some therapists take on the role of identifying what is "wrong" with a client or how the client needs to be "fixed." I view my role as your therapist as helping you identify and utilize the healthy coping skills you already have to resolve issues. The answers are there, and I appreciate that you are more familiar with the issues than anyone else. I will work with you to reveal the path and help you get the obstacles out of the way, including the many ways we can be our own worst enemy.

I have extensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT).
Does it feel impossible to love, accept, or even just tolerate your body, weight, and/or shape in a world that is always telling you to be something other than what you are? Diet culture is everywhere, and it can be so confusing to know what, when, and how much to eat and how often and in what ways to move your body. Perhaps you are struggling with guilt and shame related to things you've heard or been taught about your body and food. If you want to move toward peace and freedom with food and to have a more neutral view of your body, please reach out!

I utilize a variety of techniques to accomplish healing such as CBT, DBT, trauma focused, EMDR, somatic therapy, polyvagal theory informed therapy, mindfulness (nature, meditation, etc.
There is a reason we do the things that we do and feel the way that we feel. All mental health issues are caused by us surviving and navigating this world to the best of our abilities given all the obstacles that can get in the way. Therapy is a science and an art. In better understanding the science and the question of “why” we do the things that we do can be a powerful tool in starting your healing journey. Once having this level of insight, therapy aims to not only heal you in the present but heal the deeper underlying issues that have caused things to get to this point.

I provide trauma-informed therapy, CBT, DBT, with a person-centered approach.
When I was younger I didn't fully understand therapy and just believed it was the media version of "and how does that make you feel?" It's a journey though which can be a little scary, anxiety inducing, uncomfortable, and overwhelming at first. However, there are moments of great joy, self-discovery, and pride along the way that helps to ease the weight of burdens. My hope is through the journey everyone can see the resilient people they are as they strive to reach their goals and dreams.

I can help you achieve your goals through practical coping skills based in CBT and DBT, which tackle daily struggles, as well as developmental approaches that look at your past for unhealthy patterns, such as Narrative and Inner-child therapy.
While I work with all sorts of clients, I have carved out a niche working with people who are going through life transitions. These transitions might look like going through a divorce or major career change. Divorce especially can be hard to navigate due to the multitude of choices you have to make about the future, while still living in the now. I use a strengths based approach to help you rebuild yourself into the person you want to be, and to avoid getting stuck in the problems of the past. A good client fit for me is someone who wants change, even if they are not sure how to do that yet.

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.
