You're here. That takes courage. The next step might take even more. Our life experiences can lead us to doubt ourselves, delay important decisions, and avoid taking steps we know, at our cores, offer us an opportunity to set a more hopeful path forward. I hear you and I want you to know that even though I don't know you yet, I care about you. I care about what brought you here. I care about what happens next. I can be here to support you when your anxious thoughts make you afraid, when your sadness feels paralyzing, or when you feel alone with all of these overwhelming, but very human emotions. Today is an opportunity.

I deeply respect the strength and courage it takes to reach out to someone you’ve never met before and ask for help. To honor this, I begin by listening to understand not only the things you’re struggling with, but also your strengths, goals, the things you value most. You’re the expert of your own life, and I strongly believe treatment should be a collaboration in which we work together as a team to achieve your goals. With this as the starting point we’ll develop a treatment plan personalized to you and make sure we’re always focused on the changes you want to make.

"Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary" (Fred Rogers). Taking care of your mental health is often the hardest but most valuable work you’ll ever do. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are struggling to express themselves in healthy or effective ways, who have been through painful experiences, or who need to find new ways to cope.

Cognitive Processing (CPT) Therapists
How does cognitive processing therapy work?
A CPT therapist helps a client evaluate their thoughts about the trauma they experienced, focusing on maladaptive or self-blaming thoughts that can exacerbate symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or depression. The therapist will work with a client to help them learn to challenge such thoughts and consider different perspectives. The therapist is also likely to ask a client to work on these techniques at home between meetings, such as writing an account of their trauma that can be read aloud during a future session.
What is cognitive processing therapy for PTSD?
Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy primarily used in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to treat individuals who experienced abuse or violence, who survived natural disasters, who were first responders to such incidents, or who otherwise experienced trauma.
How long does cognitive processing therapy last?
CPT is a short-term therapy. Whether conducted one-on-one or in a group, a complete set of CPT sessions typically includes 12 weekly sessions, along with tasks for clients to complete at home, although this can vary depending on a client’s needs or a therapist’s particular treatment plan. Sessions typically last 60 or 90 minutes.
How effective is cognitive processing therapy?
A large body of research supports the use of CPT to treat people experiencing PTSD, finding it to be effective among different age groups, either in one-on-one therapy sessions or in a group therapy environment. Research suggests that although the initial sessions may be difficult, clients tend to begin to feel positive progress after the first few sessions, and that the benefits tend to last well after the therapy ends.
