Are you an adult suffering from a crisis of meaning? Are you a parent who is working hard maintaining a household while your child/adolescent is displaying maladaptive behaviors? My approach to counseling involves clearly defining the problem as well as defining what success looks from the client's perspective. Utilizing Strengths-Based Solution-Focused Therapy, I measure symptoms and track progress through the course of therapy sessions so that the client can understand clearly where they are in the therapeutic process; how far they have come, and what is left to accomplish.

In schools, I address problems such as truancy, disruptive behavior, teenage pregnancy, drug use, and poor grades. I also advise teachers and act as liaisons between students, homes, schools, courts, protective services, and other institutions.

Accepting new clients! My primary therapeutic approach is Person-Centered, which is based on the notion that clients have a capacity for self-awareness. I believe that clients are capable of healing themselves, can create their own self-growth, & are their own change agents. I consider counseling to be a collaborative process with both the counselor and client. I align with taking an integrative approach because I do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach. In addition to person-centered, I utilize techniques from CBT. Every client has a different narrative and, therefore, should have a unique approach to each scenario.

My approach is integrative combining Narrative, Solution Focused & Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
“Be who you needed when you were younger” was a quote that resonated with me at an early age. As cliché as it may be, that quote is the reason that I embarked on the journey to becoming a therapist. I chose marriage and family because that is the most important system in an individual’s life that shapes how they move in the world. I believe that a person’s environment they grew up in is often linked to many challenges that they face as they journey through life. My goal is to help you collect any missing links to help connect you to the healing that you may be seeking.

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.
