Talk therapy and CBT to help move through challenges and blocks Motivational and positive psychology exercises to boost confidence and help you find clarity A strengths-finder approach, to increase efficacy and resilience.
My ideal client is someone who is looking to “find themselves” or who feels that who they are “on the outside” is different than who they are “inside.” Perhaps they're looking to find more meaning in life, personally, professionally, or both. They might not know where to start, in terms of being happier and more fulfilled, but that is their general goal. They want to grow as a person, but perhaps need help with motivation, or implementation. They're in the midst of, or foresee major life changes, and feel challenged or overwhelmed. They might need to talk, and to learn skills to help them adapt to the changes in their lives.

I am well-versed in numerous evidence-based therapeutic techniques and have training in CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy).
Whether it is pain from the past, challenges of current circumstances, or concerns about an uncertain future, counseling can help. As a therapist, I consider it a privilege to come alongside clients who may struggle with trauma, grief, eating/body image concerns, anxiety, depression or a variety of life transitions/struggles. I work with adolescents (14 and up) and adults of all ages and have had experience in school settings, hospital-based outpatient/IOP levels of care, and private practice. While I work with many people of diverse backgrounds, I am able to offer Christian counseling if desired.

Life presents us with a variety of stressors and demands that at times may feel difficult to manage.

Or, we may feel stuck and unsure of what to do next. If you are experiencing similar challenges, I want to help you to process them, identify strengths, and utilize those strengths to heal.

My clinical experience began in general private practice, and I later moved on to develop a more specialized treatment approach through an internship with The Center for OCD and Anxiety in August 2020. From there, I transitioned into my roles as Associate Therapist, Intake Manager, and Caregiver Support Group Leader until February 2024. As I believe that effective therapy includes an appropriate balance of empathy, humor, active listening, and proper guidance rooted in evidence-based practices, I utilize an eclectic mix of therapeutic modalities (listed below) to tailor treatment according to the specific needs of each individual.

Whether you are coming to therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, a life change, or just a general sense of unease, facing these issues can be scary. Healing isn’t easy because it involves confronting our pain and hurts. Healing can also be full of joy, hope, connection, and freedom as we experience new possibilities of being and relating. My approach is warm, relational, and integrative.

Unfortunately many people have had negative experiences with counseling, making them hesitant to seek help again. I am especially skilled at working with those who are uncomfortable with the idea of therapy. A client once told me "You should be a therapist for people who do not like therapy". I try to understand people on an individual level & adapt my skills to meet their needs. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, & nonjudgmental atmosphere. Therapy should not be simply "learning coping skills", to deal with negative feelings, it should involve working through the root of the problem to facilitate long-lasting change.

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.
