As a body-mind therapist, I integrate CBT, mindfulness, and somatic techniques.
Are you a caring person who finds it hard to make time for yourself and struggles to relax? I specialize in helping introverts, sensitive people, perfectionists, people pleasers, and procrastinators break free from overwhelm and find inner calm and clarity. I offer therapy by phone, and I encourage you to be outdoors or take a walk during our sessions if that helps you feel more grounded. Together, we can work on strengthening coping skills, healing from the past, making confident decisions, setting healthy boundaries, and finding more ease in your daily life.

Do you find yourself wishing your life was different in some way, but you're unsure of how to get there? Are you struggling to manage feelings of anxiety, sadness, or cope with the stressors of everyday life? Perhaps you need someone to hear you, walk beside you, help shed light on a new perspective, motivate you, help you manage difficult emotions, or to help you make positive behavioral changes. I would be honored to be that person for you and am confident I could help you get to where you want to be.

I am trained in CPT ( cognitive processing therapy) which can help challenge negative beliefs about ourselves that trauma has attached to us.
Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. We all need help at different periods in our life and struggle to show up authentically in this world. I want to help you on your journey to attain the life that makes you feel true to yourself. Therapy can be a very helpful way to re-examine priorities in life and get an outside perspective to help point out different blindspots one be experiencing in life that prevents us from attaining the life we want.

I utilize several clinical modalities including EMDR, cognitive-behavioral therapy, somatic work, solution-focused therapy, design thinking and mindfulness techniques.
Therapy, like life, happens in the context of relationships. Our first task will be to form our own. During this time I’ll hear from you about what’s going well in your life as well as what is feeling difficult or overwhelming. Our work can take several forms, but in all of them I value connection, humor, and authenticity.

Coming in and opening up about your past isn't easy, but living with your trauma hasn't been easy either. Getting up each day is an enormous task, you push yourself, but every movement feels heavy and deliberate. At work and home it’s hard to concentrate. Your mind keeps drifts to the trauma, replaying scenes and feelings. You're frustrated with yourself for not being able to function like you used to. You try to relax, but your mind is restless. You attempt to watch TV but it’s hard to focus. Lying in bed, you struggle to calm your mind. You feel alone in your experience, even though you know others care about you.

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.
