When working with clients I tend to use a strengths-based and/or cognitive behavioral approach.
I typically see individuals struggling with life stressors, depression, anxiety, and other events that can leave someone feeling broken. Sometimes it can take a little or a lot to get to a place that a person feels they can't manage all that life throws at them. It's rewarding to work with clients that recognize a need and are willing to explore ways to improve their current circumstances or manage their stressors. I hope to be safe place to encourage and facility healthy behaviors and thoughts.

Perhaps you’ve lost interest in activities you used to find enjoyable. Maybe you’ve found yourself engaging in compulsive behaviors such as online pornography, gambling, video gaming, or shopping to distract yourself from your worries. Many who experience these issues are struggling with anxiety, depression, difficulty concentrating, or family/relationship challenges. These symptoms can sap your energy and leave you feeling as though you've lost your way in your life's journey.

The last couple of years have definitely been challenging. I have found that most people fall into three categories: survival, acceptance, or growth. My ideal client is someone who is highly motivated and wants change; someone who is seeking to grow. They are tired of being in survival mode. These individuals are seeking something different than what the traditional therapies offer. They are ready to move on to the next level. As a guide, I work to empower clients to overcome stress, and life challenges. This process involves healing, discovery, and learning valuable life lessons along the way.

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.
