I am trained in cognitive-behavior therapy with a special focus on anxiety, worry and chronic stress.
Every person is valuable and special even though this may be hard to believe due to fear, anxiety or depression. You may be so consumed with worries about your health, money or relationships, that it is difficult for you to feel happy. You may be in so much pain at times that you are waiting for your day to end so you can finally be alone. You don't have to feel this way. Therapy can help.

I most often combine relational talk therapy, with a coaching approach, then I sprinkle in some awesome techniques, and then add in some CBT, ACT, or DBT.
Do you feel stuck, stale or stagnant with your anxiety, stress or depression? Is trauma a factor in your life that needs to dealt with and processed? Are you feeling sad from a death or sad and/or angry from a divorce, from a break up, or from caregiving and just need to process all that has happened? Therapy can help you be more aware, calmer, have more healing, discernment, more authenticity, more ease, less negativity, better boundaries, be less triggered/less personal, more personal power, better self care, more vulnerability, and healthier connections. Basically, therapy can help you be a better version of yourself!

Stressors are at an all-time high level, leaving many people unprepared for the situations they are experiencing. Under stress, our behavior can fall back to our default settings that were shaped in our early childhood. These patterns may not serve us or our families well. Learning new skills can give us the tools to develop appropriate responses and forge new neuropathways that will enhance the way we connect with the people close to us.

Take a breath, be nice to yourself, and remember that there’s nothing wrong with you. These are three things that I tend to incorporate with every person I work with. Life can feel so challenging and it IS challenging. It's even harder without a space where you can show up and be your completely true self, whether or not you know what that looks like. I believe that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and valued for who they are, without prefaces or disclaimers. My goal is to help you uncover your strengths, build resilience, and cultivate deeper self-awareness, in order to tear down the walls you’ve built that leave you isolated.

What exactly IS trauma? Trauma is any experience that the person deems negative and continues to live in the shadow of the event(s). If you feel trapped, like the trauma is following you, within you, or pops up at random, I can help. I love helping people to get "unstuck," so that they are no longer being controlled by their past traumas. I offer two life-changing therapies, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy). These therapies help clients transform themselves from symptomatic to symptom-free, giving people a sense of peace, safety and the freedom to truly live life.

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.
