By combining elements of Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, I can help guide you on your journey.
Current Openings! You deserve to live a life that is positive and fulfilling; a life that leaves you feeling excited to wake up each morning and embrace the day’s potential. Finding that “spark” in life can sometimes feel like a struggle. Perhaps you feel anxious and overwhelmed, or find yourself generally losing pleasure in things you once enjoyed. Many of us experience these feelings, but you don’t need to continue struggling alone. I believe that collaboration is key, and together we can address your personal experience, learn to navigate life’s challenges, and help you get back to living your best life.

We will use a variety of tools from cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, trauma informed care and other modalities to assist in achieving your goals.
People find themselves considering therapy for a variety of reasons. Perhaps they find themselves struggling to find balance and acclimate to the many changes in our world today. They find it hard to sleep, stay focused or find motivation. All of a sudden completing tasks takes more effort. Others find it hard to build or maintain relationships with others. Expressing or regulating emotions can be more difficult. While we all have a host of coping strategies that we rely on to get us through life's challenging moments, during times of increased stress we sometimes find these strategies just don’t work as well as they did before.

As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), my focus is on helping children and adolescents navigate the ups and downs of growing up. I believe that therapy should be a safe and nurturing space where young people feel comfortable being themselves. My goal is to build a strong, trusting relationship with each client, so they can openly express their thoughts and feelings. Through a combination of behavioral therapies, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Emotion-Focused interventions, I work with the child or adolescent to learn life and social skills throughout each aspect of their life.

Life can be really hard, and sometimes we could use some help, someone who will listen without judging or telling us how we should feel or what we should do. We may or may not know what exactly we are dealing with, we just know that we want to feel better.

It can be very difficult to reach out for help, so if you’re reading this you’ve already taken that first big step. I’m ready to join and support you as you start your path to feeling better.

Relationship problems can result from prolonged grief, excessive guilt, low self-esteem or having very few boundaries. Problems may occur from a series of failed or stormy relationships, being over-controlling or being too inflexible. They can arise from developmental "shocks," losses or being emotionally starved. Problems can result from violence, molestation, abuses, or feeling empty and disconnected. They may also occur from addictions, codependent choices, chronic illnesses, neurobiology or the quality of healthcare. And relationship problems can result from paralyzing fear of harm or being alone, or any combination of the above.

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.
