Methods include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, Collaborative and Eclectic Therapies, Gottman Couples Therapy and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy.
We all desire happiness, fulfillment and peace - but how do we get there when we feel like we have so little control over our situations? Healthy individuals and relationships are the cornerstone of our well-being, however, at times we all feel like we have lost control or are overwhelmed by challenges and changes in our lives. As a Marriage and Family Therapist I will help you recognize and change ineffective, repetitive or destructive patterns of thoughts, communication and behavior in a safe, supervised atmosphere. Together we will focus on strengths, healthy interactions, goals and solutions to achieve positive changes in your life and relationships.

Waitlist for new clients
I am currently providing services to adults, utilizing various techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing among others.
I believe that there is no "one-size fits all approach" to therapy, just like anything else in life. Everyone is different and have different beliefs and interests. Therefore, I think that is how people can grow, change and adapt, with new experiences or with learning more about themselves and within relationships. I also bring my true self into sessions with clients, meaning that I am not afraid to say I made a mistake or talk out loud about things within the therapeutic relationship. After all, we are all human and are continuing to learn everyday.

My practice is a mindfulness-based and trauma-sensitive approach using CBT and somatic exercises.
Sometimes the challenges are so great and the feelings are so overwhelming that it's hard to describe in full sentences. I have worked with so many people that start therapy unsure of what particular area they want to start working on first - the career, the relationship, the personal struggles, building self-confidence, the challenges of being a parent, working through racial adversities and so many more. I know they want to feel a sense of balance, contentment and control of their lives and I know the way to get there is to take that first step towards change.

Since graduation, I have worked as a clinial psychotherapist providing individual therapy to seniors, adults, adolescents and children. I specialize in treating clients, who suffer from anxiety, depression, panic disorders, and phobias. I have developed an eclectic therapeutic treatment approach. However, my individual approach gravitates towards cognitive behavior theory. My work with clients focuses on their realization that their various disorders stem from their erroneous beliefs about themselves.

In my 25 years of practice I have worked with, and helped, hundreds of people from different social and economic backgrounds. The commonality I have found in working with all of these people is that they come into therapy with the strong desire to talk and connect with someone who is accepting and not judgmental of them. I provide this atmosphere with the people who come in to see me, as well as provide them with competent therapeutic guidance.

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.
