I use a combination of cognitive and somatic techniques as well as good ol' fashioned person-centered talk therapy.
How many times have you wanted to just quit everything? Maybe you're burnt out, profoundly anxious, or crumbling under all the pressure you've put on your shoulders. Maybe you felt like things weren't working for a while, but you told yourself that you should hold out a little longer in case it all changes. Or maybe you've been piling on promises and now there's too much going on to even know where to begin. And maybe you've heard more than once in your life that you "really need to chill." If that sounds like you, I'm glad you're here.

Therapy is all about the engagement and relationship with my client. There needs to be a mutual trust and open dialogue in each session. I will provide a non-judgmental environment to explore difficult relationships and other areas of life.

We will explore and recognize how the process impacts the content of our lives.

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.
