I am trained in CBT, CBTp, DBT, IDDT, MI, ACT, EMDR, and the creative/arts therapies with an emphasis on music therapy.
My job is to meet people where they are at and find the things that they are struggling with. Then as a team, we can work together to formulate plans for the future and finding what makes an individual passionate and reenergized about life. I believe in working on the whole person and putting things in place to create balance with their mind-body-social connections.

I also employ Cognative Behavioral Therapy ( CBT) with my clients.
I enjoy working with individuals who are struggling to overcome obstacles and cope with triggers which may impede their ability to fully engage with life in a wholesome way. Maybe conflict is getting in the way of having fulfilling relationships. Maybe life's stressors are overwhelming the senses or triggering painful emotions. Maybe coping skills are limited and resilience feels unattainable. Goals of therapy can include identifying and coping with, in a safe and healthy way, those obstacles that are keeping a person stuck, as a start.

Clients find me when going through periods of reinvention, transition or when they are craving an authentic life. They often are ready to break through the myth of perfection to find their unique voice.

My style is direct, lively & collaborative; assisting those who want to reclaim themselves and live from their heart.

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.
