With 14 years of experience in the mental health field, I pull from several therapeutic approaches with a strong focus in CBT, Narrative Therapy and MBSR.
Do you sometimes feel disconnected from everything and everyone? Are you struggling to love yourself or to maintain healthy connections with the people you care about? Are you struggling with grief, loss, or the negative effects of past experiences? Do you feel anxious, worried and fearful? You are not alone. And the process of therapy can help you make the connections that have gone unacknowledged between your past experience and present struggles, and develop tools and strategies to help you heal the past, learn to cope with the present, and feel prepared to step into your life and relationships happier and healing.

Are you experiencing grief due to suicide or overdose of a loved one? The grief process is unique as we encounter the stigma and shame that comes along with such loss, and the barrage of questions we may never know the answers to. This loss can impact our relationships as we may experience grief differently than others around us. I have been honored to guide the healing process for those facing such loss as well as other areas of need.

I address all issues from the perspective of a person's environment. We all exist in the context of a family, a community and a culture. In therapy we often find that there is nothing wrong with us, depression, anxiety, etc., are not innate dysfunctions but rather result from conflict that arises in our environment. I like to help individuals, couples and families learn about these environments to better navigate them as well as learn about themselves and what it means to be who they are in the context of their environment.

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.
