Struggling with anxiety, obsessive thinking, self-doubt, and/or perfectionism? Learn to take control of your mental health and create a more accepting and happier life through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The idea of therapy can seem like a daunting, overwhelming experience but taking the first step doesn't have to be. Asking for help is a major challenge for many, my goal is help people turn challenges into a positive opportunity for learning, self reflection, and personal growth. If you are looking for a humanistic approach to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (learning how to change your thinking) you are in the right place.
As a LCSW I have experience providing Cognitive Behavioral therapy to adolescents, adults, families, and couples. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and (REBT) are evidence based practices and scientifically proven to be the most effective treatment for anxiety. Through my humanistic, solution oriented, and practical approach people learn how to reduce their anxiety, improve their mental health, challenge themselves, and upon graduation continue to adapt to life's ongoing challenges with a positive sense of self.
Taking that first step to start therapy can be anxiety producing, I hope to ease this process through my FREE phone consultation. Don't hesitate to leave me a message or shoot me an email to get started. I've made it so that individuals can reach me directly so that we can get to work in developing a clear plan of action. Featuring weekend/evening appointments and 24/7 online scheduling. Finding a therapist is a challenge, but making that initial connection doesn't have to be.
