I am a person-centered therapist trained in trauma-focused CBT, sexual addiction, and EMDR.
I have a passion for working with people seeking to find peace, healing, and growth in their lives. I facilitate a calm and supportive space for people so they can find healing for wounds both past and present. I have found that most problems people are dealing with results from unhealed trauma and grievances. I work with people to help them understand themselves, their hurts, their strengths, and their resources so they can heal and grow. Therapy is something I am passionate about because I've seen it work for people time and time again.

I'm trained in: Dialectic-Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Child-Centered Play Therapy, Theraplay, Parent-Child Interactive Therapy, Schema Therapy, & Child-Parent Psychotherapy.
We all struggle from time to time. Children in particular are learning every day how to pick up and carry on after they've faced something that really challenged them. But sometimes they get stuck and don't know what to do. Divorce, bullying, changing families, and so many other life changes that are out of our control can have a drastic impact. They can lead us to withdraw, fall behind in school, act out at home, or worse. Whatever the issues you and your family may have, I believe that sessions with me can help you and your family to figure out where you're stuck and what we can do to move forward.

I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each client, drawing from CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered theories.
Reaching out for support takes strength and courage. I respect this, and my aim is to create a calm, inviting atmosphere where a deep sense of trust can grow between client and therapist. I believe that pain shared is pain lessened and that people can and do recover from issues that have been troubling them for years. I have found that many people enter therapy not because of a complex mental health issue but because of a general feeling of life not being what they would like it to be. Let me be a catalyst of change for 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.
