I tend to use aspects of CBT, DBT, Client-Cenetered, Motivational Interviewing and Prolonged Exposure to help with these areas of concern.
My therapeutic style involves using empathy, evidence-based interventions, and humor to help clients with their areas of concerns. My priority is the client, their well-being, and working intentionally on their goals for therapy. While working collaboratively, this can be a place to process, vent, accomplish goals, and/or develop skills/insights.

I originally trained as a cognitive-behavioral therapist, but my work has matured and expanded considerably beyond that over the years.
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist (NY, DC, & MA) with 15+ years in the field specializing in trauma, post-traumatic stress, and substance use / addiction issues. I have particular experience supporting healthcare providers (from physicians to combat medics to everyone in between and beyond), military veterans, survivors of political violence, and people with histories of childhood trauma. Clients who seek my help have often had unusual or extraordinary exposures to assault, war, genocide, partner violence, hate crime, abuse, neglect, or other significantly harmful stressors that have had a major impact on their lives.

I use CBT, DBT, & ACT to understand a person's world.
My ideal client is an individual or couple motivated to make a change. Their issues can range from struggling to manage their day-to-day lives to struggling to handle emotional reactions. They would need someone who can gently call things out while providing coping skills or tools. My ideal client would want to make an effort to show up consistently. Showing up consistently is not just attending sessions but also putting in work outside of sessions. With consistency, there's more progress. If the client needs some time to warm up, we can work with that, too.

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.
