Through a tailored blend of therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT), Integrative Behavioral Couples Treatment, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, and Trauma Focused Therapy.
In the ever-changing landscape of life, individuals frequently encounter an array of challenges, such as anxiety, depression, losses, and disappointments, which are often rooted in unresolved past traumas or the day-to-day pressures of life transitions and relationship issues. I specialize in working with both individuals and couples to address a broad spectrum of challenges, including relationship dynamics, employment concerns, substance use, as well as anxiety, depression, and chronic medical conditions.

Waitlist for new clients
I use techniques such as mindfulness, grounding, meditation, deep breathing and a variety of additional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques to empower my clients to accomplish their mental wellness goals.
Are you struggling to understand why you feel the way that you do? Do you sometimes feel that you have a dark cloud overhead? Is it difficult to identify life circumstances that are contributing to low mood or easy to identify, however, hard to manage? Do you experience anxiety or panic attacks that interfere with your quality of life? With changes in perspective and cognitive restructuring, as well as acceptance, you have the ability to create the happiness and stability that you desire in your life. Happiness and healing are not linear. The exploration of past trauma opens up doors to emotions that are waiting to be resolved

Life can be challenging and scary. Sometimes we just need a listening ear and extra support. Therapy is a place where you can get that extra support. Therapy involves learning about yourself, reconnecting with supportive people, and making positive changes in your life.

As we navigate through life we often prioritize the needs of others before our own. As an advocate for self-care, I believe that prioritizing one’s own mental health needs is the highest form of self care. Starting your therapy journey can be the first step toward putting yourself first and improving your overall mental wellbeing.

You feel lost. Entirely alone in your struggles, like no one can understand what you’re going through. You desperately wish you had a better handle on things and feel like a failure for your shortcomings. But this problem isn’t unique. The experience is so common that there are memes about it. Everyone struggles; it’s perfectly normal. Of course, knowing that doesn’t make those thoughts and feelings go away. But that’s where we come in.

Many individuals may not be a fan of therapy, which is okay! It is important to find what works best for an individual, whether it is a mix of talk therapy and exercise, but the main point is to find a healthy way of coping. There is no age limit to being able to come into therapy but glad that an individual can find their way into it; there is a lot of stigma surrounding mental health that is from their upbringing, culture, or background.

With such a fast pace of life, you may feel like you're standing still while everything seems to be zooming around and past you. You could be getting frustrated, going through the motions or drowning within a never ending list of “to-do’s”. This frustration could leave you feeling like everything is spinning out of control and it’s hard to make decisions. You might even find yourself questioning what you’ve done wrong, wondering how things got this way and why this is happening to you. You can calm the internal noise and build the confidence you need to feel in control of your own life. I know what it's like to overthink and doubt.

It takes a lot of courage for an individual to ask for help when it comes to ones emotional well being. These days it is easy to put our emotions and feelings in the back seat and forget how important it is to take care of our mental health. Our emotions drive so much of what we do; whether that is an important life decision, our romantic relationships or our interactions with our families. I like to approach my patient’s presenting problem in a very individualistic manner; understanding that although many individuals may have similar life circumstances each patient has their own way of managing or coping.

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.
