I am an LCSW specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with experience treating a variety of clinical issues.
Throughout life you may experience times of anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, family conflict, or struggles with identity or self-worth. You may feel disconnected from your emotions or overwhelmed by them. Therapy is a unique opportunity to slow down and be intentional in taking care of your mental health. I work together with clients to identify goals and create a plan to successfully achieve them. My approach is collaborative and prioritizes a strong therapeutic alliance to facilitate reflection, healing, and change.

Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Problem Solving Therapy, and Mindfulness, I will help you navigate the obstacles that you may stumble upon.
As humans, we all have an innate need for personal growth. As I see it, many of us live with a feeling that we have either been standing in one place for too long, or our lives around us are changing at a pace that we cannot control. In either event, it's common to feel overwhelmed, scared, anxious or depressed. However, these life events and circumstances can be amazing opportunities for growth.

My approach is strength-based and trauma-informed, blending psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy, and person centered approaches to suit the needs of each client.
Difficult experiences and painful relationships can affect our connection with our bodies, as well as our identities and sense of self-worth. As we begin to heal our relationship with ourselves, we can expand the ways in which we show up in our lives. I offer a non-judgmental and reflective space to process and explore your past, present, and future, with the goal of helping you identify and work through opportunities for growth and healing. Together we'll embark on a path to help you understand what barriers are present. You will learn to prioritize and trust in yourself, while developing tools to care for your mental health.

Trained and certified in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) for Psychosis, Panic Disorder, and Anger Management, IPT (Inter Personal Psychotherapy) for Depression.
Often our mental health issues are triggered by the highly demanding lifestyle in a stressful environment. We are not able to process all the issues we face all by ourselves. We need professional perspectives of our issues. In therapy I help patients analyze their issues in a scientific manner. My approach is holistic: health, body, mind, spirit, biology, and the environmental factors. Every human being has potentials to overcome their problems through time, patience, insight, using proper resources, and applying their inner strengths. I have faith in my patience. My motto: Educate. Empower. Evolve. I am inspired by what I see!

You’d been doing so well. Enjoying life, being productive, connecting with family and friends. Then, out of nowhere, it crept back in—that familiar feeling of numb emptiness. You can feel your worldview narrowing and your emotions shutting down, and it scares you. You’ve worked so hard to move past this and truly believed you were getting better. Eating well, exercising, meditating, and sleeping more. And then here comes this reminder that all the self-care in the world isn’t enough to help you move past this. Hopelessness is setting in. You know there must be a better way to live, but you simply don’t know how to achieve it.

As a therapist, I've come to deeply appreciate the inherent messiness and imperfection of being human. We all carry quirks, shadows, inconsistencies - and that's okay. My role is not to judge or fix, but to create a safe space where you can explore all of who you are with acceptance and compassion. I aim to provide a balance of practicality and profundity in my work. On a practical level, I'll share tools, frameworks, and insights from evidence-based modalities to help shine light on core issues. But I also believe therapy should allow for transcendence - those profound "aha" moments where you glimpse a deeper truth about yourself.

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to actively engage and work on obstacles that may be inhibiting personal growth and happiness. It is a therapist's job to be actively engaged in this process and to help in a way that is sensitive, constructive, and sensible. I feel that it's important to work on the identification of key issues, but to also find practical ways of moving forward. My approach draws upon various therapeutic techniques and modalities. I work diligently with each individual to ensure that we work with a technique that will be the most productive for the client.

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.
