My approach integrates CBT and Psychodynamic principles in a way that is both progressive and holistic, and based on continued communication and collaboration.
People start therapy for different reasons. Sometimes people come in to see me during a period of transition - starting or ending a relationship or school, moving to a new city, beginning a new job! Maybe you feel as though you're on a constant treadmill, always moving but never seeing anything change around you. I'll work with you to find what's getting in the way of you getting what you really want from your life.

Hi! I help men and women transform their lives using traditional and holistic approaches including CBT psychotherapy, EFT, EMDR, TF- CBT, Ayurveda, Aromatherapy and meditation.
Perhaps you are an incredibly caring person who puts other people’s needs first. You enjoy giving your time and energy towards making others feel happy, and perhaps you’ve been playing on the sidelines in your own life. But, you secretly fear you won’t get love or respect back if you did not do so. So perhaps, you keep doing and giving and playing quietly. Truth is, this depletes you and leaves you not living the life you were truly meant to live. As head of household or business, you feel tired, stressed and perhaps not as happy as you’d like to be. And, you’ve neglected your own needs in mind, body and spirit for some time now.

Do you ever feel a tug-of-war inside, with different parts of you pulling in various directions? This inner dialogue can be confusing, but a completely natural part of being human. We all have different parts of ourselves, some carrying difficult emotions like shame or anger, while others step in to protect us from those feelings. Therapy is not about fixing something “wrong” with you. Often, our emotional reactions or behaviors are understandable responses to past experiences. What might have once been self-protective or even life-saving can become challenging when our circumstances change, yet the feelings or behaviors linger.

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.
