I use evidence-based therapeutic interventions that incorporate the principles found in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Are you tired of listening to that committee in your head - you know, the one that says you are stupid or wrong or that you're not worthy and don't fit in? At Cerebral Landscaping, we are all about embracing our quirks, whether it's being as neurodiverse as a Rubik's Cube, having more issues than People magazine, or wanting a self-esteem boost. Sometimes, if we hear something enough, we can think it's true. This often happens with negative messages we hear or tell ourselves. We are not here to endure or cause suffering. Together, we can find another way.

I utilize strategies from a variety of counseling theories to best meet each client's individual needs and am trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).
Therapy can be greatly beneficial, but not knowing what to expect in therapy can cause uncertainty. I hope to ease any uncertainty by sharing about what it's like to work with me. My style of therapy is collaborative, casual, and direct. Much of what we'll do is have exploratory conversations to assist you in increasing insight of yourself. We'll work together to foster awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and patterns to understand how these patterns affect you. With this awareness, we'll establish your personalized goals and work to meet these goals so you can create the change you want in your life.

I tend to blend a variety of treatment approaches such as cognitive behavioral approaches to more insight oriented therapy.
I work primarily with adults with a wide range of presenting problems such as depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, bipolar, etc. My early training and early career jobs were in agencies serving primarily children and adolescents. I have shifted to working primarily with adults, but continue to keep my hand in a bit of therapy with adolescents. My background in child/adolescent therapy has been useful in working with adults struggling with their children, teens, and adult children. I also enjoy working with couples struggling with the trials and complexities of being in a marriage.

Self-acceptance is critical to the therapeutic relationship, and I practice cognitive-behavioral and dialectical-behavioral therapy to help my clients break through their negative thoughts and flip the script on their unwanted habits.
Especially in difficult times, it can be hard to find sources of acceptance, affirmation, and healing. Often the people closest to us - family, classmates, and co-workers, don't accept us for who we are. Perhaps we are gifted and see the world differently, in a new relationship and scared of old mistakes, navigating parenting or co-parenting, or are trying to better understand ourselves and our past. Whatever the reason, we also desire to be happy, whole, and loved - and especially to become something more than what we are. Trauma can hold us back no matter our age - creating negative habits and barriers to our success.

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.
