I draw on multiple frameworks and modalities including psychodynamic, CBT, DBT and mindfulness to help my clients feel comfortable in our work together.
My approach is best described as humanistic. I believe that each person has and deserves to feel grounded in their life, the autonomy to make decisions that feel best to them, and find their own inner strengths. You came here because you feel like something is amiss in your life, and you want help finding your way back to who you are at your core, your true essence. I have been a therapist for ten years with a background working with LGBTQIA adolescents, adults and couples.

I draw from a combination of evidence-based treatment approaches including CBT, interpersonal, psychodynamic, Gottman, strengths-based, solution-focused, and mindfulness based stress reduction.
“Everything can be taken from us but one thing, the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way” — Viktor Frankl. It is my firm belief that we free ourselves to think and act in new ways when we are willing to embrace the exploration of the self and develop insights into the motivations behind our behavior. We will work together to build a shared understanding of the obstacles that you are facing, whether that means improving your interpersonal relationships, exploring your identity/sexuality/spirituality, strengthening your self esteem, finding motivation and success in your career, navigating overwhelming and traumatic experiences, or identifying maladaptive patterns that may be acting as barriers to the life you want. I offer both short and long term psychotherapy to adolescents and adults seeking assistance with anxiety, mood disorders, mood dysregulation, obsessive thinking, compulsive behavior, ADHD, substance abuse, anger, impulsivity, highly sensitive temperament, and psychoeducation related to psychiatric medication management.

As a cognitive-behaviorist, sessions focus on: learning to challenge faulty assumptions and thinking errors, developing thought stopping strategies, mood modulation, imagery exercises, desensitization, as well as training in assertiveness, anger control and social skills.
No one should suffer from unnecessary psychological distress. I specialize in "mindfulness", and cognitive-behavior therapy for children, adolescents and adults. I have been practicing for more than thirty years and have helped many people achieve life goals that had previously seemed out of their reach. I am fortunate that I love what I do. This is evident in my dedication to my clients. Their legacies are my rewards. My therapeutic approach enables me to positively impact individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, obsessions/ compulsions, phobias, post traumatic stress, dysregulated moods and delusional thinking.

It’s 5:30AM and your alarm clock goes off. You instantly regret that you booked a 6:30AM spot at Barry’s because you were up again all night. You really want to workout. You know you’ll feel great after the class is over. Now your mind is racing… “I’m already running on fumes. What if I workout and then crash after lunch? I won’t be able to finish everything I have to get done today and it will start to pile up for tomorrow. I’m already behind as it is...” And the cycle continues. You’ll toss and turn again all night thinking about all the things. How would it feel to talk to someone about what’s causing this cycle instead?

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.
