I specialize in helping individuals feel better and get the life they want by using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). This approach is a practical, solution-focused therapy that explores how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. It helps identify and change negative thinking patterns contributing to emotional distress or difficulties. By teaching specific skills and techniques, CBT empowers individuals to manage challenges more effectively. It aims to break overwhelming problems into smaller parts, fostering a better understanding of oneself and developing strategies to cope better with life's ups and downs.
I have extensive experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and I am working towards certification through the Beck Institute. My approach involves an integration of CBT with other evidenced based practices and tools customized to meet the unique needs of each individual.
Congratulations for taking this positive step forward. You deserve happiness! If you are curious to learn more, I invite you to call or send an email to schedule a free consultation. I look forward to working with you and supporting you on the journey ahead.
