Creating a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment for you to process your experiences, explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and try new ways to thinking and behaving is my goal as your psychologist. Therapy should be a space of trust and a space to grow without concerns of criticism, shame, or guilt. Often the quote that 'all roads lead back to trauma' comes to my mind, we all have had our own shaping experiences. I believe we all benefit from a safe landing space to explore, learn, and grow from our life experiences. Let's find what gives you meaning and further grow your life to support your needs and wants.

Soul-crushing sadness and self-doubt are your constant companions. It’s come to the point where you’re emotionally bankrupt. You’ve spent your entire life working harder, performing better, aiming higher, and yet you still feel like a failure. You’re never good enough. The past few years of your life have been spent taking care of everyone else. You’re not even sure you know how to take care of yourself anymore. Painful and hurtful memories from the past keep surfacing in your mind. It takes all your energy to keep them at bay and get through another day. The effort leaves you perpetually exhausted and hopeless. You need some help.

Using CBT, ERP, DBT, and solution-focused therapy, we will walk through the many facets of motherhood and improve your emotional experience with it.
Since your newborn baby’s birth, you feel engulfed in a storm of exhaustion and doubt. The nights blend together in a haze of feeding sessions, diaper changes, and soothing cries. Your body, once strong and resilient, now feels foreign and fragile. The weight of responsibility settles heavily on your shoulders, accompanied by a gnawing fear that you are not doing enough or doing it right. You’re plagued by guilt whenever you can't console your baby’s cries or struggle to meet your own basic needs. Sleep deprivation casts a shadow over your days, leaving you weary and disconnected from the world outside.

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.
