I have had training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative, and Play Therapy.
Asking for help is one of the hardest things to do. It can make you feel defeated and vulnerable, however, it is the first step to overcome the obstacles in your life. After overcoming this step, the last thing you want to do is to tell a stranger your most inner thoughts. I will provide an environment that encourages trust, open communication, and understanding. I believe it is important to collaborate with my clients as each client is the expert of their own lives. It is my personal goal to empower and develop the skills my client needs to address any issues that are prohibiting them from living the life that they want to live.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy ( CBT), brief solution focused therapy, trauma focused CBT, family systems therapy, play therapy, and art therapy.
My approach to therapy involves focusing on the family unit, meeting each individual family member where they’re at while treating them as an important part of the therapeutic process. I do this by treating each family member equally and with compassion. I often get calls from parents asking me to help their child and my response is always the same… “Let's work together to help your kiddo.” Studies show that when parents are involved, kids recover from trauma significantly faster.

A few types of therapy offered are cbt, solution focused, talk therapy, family therapy, and play therapy.
My ideal client is someone who is open to change and has a clear understanding of their goals for change. They may be struggling with life's burdens and feel lost or unheard and just need a listening ear to have an open honest conversation. The client is the expert in his/her treatment and has the ability to facilitate change that creates confidence and autonomy. Once the client is able to see their strengths rather than their weaknesses, they can then realize their full potential in the counseling process.

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.
