Through the use of Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Energy Psychology techniques and other hands on techniques like art and sand tray, I guide my clients on the journey of becoming who they want to be.
I understand that making lasting changes can be difficult for adolescents and young adults. With 20 years experience I have learned that everyone's therapy needs are unique. My goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment where we can work together in order to help you get back In-Step with the world around you. I enjoy and specialize in working with adolescents and young adults struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, LGBTQ+ issues and other issues associated with this challenging transitional time in life.

Typically, my focus in therapy is on teaching clients cognitive-behavioral strategies.
I have primarily worked with children, adolescents, and their families for the past 20 years in mental health, residential and school settings. Prior to that, I worked for a domestic violence, rape crisis, and child abuse center where I worked with survivors and their families in various capacities, including group and individual counseling, crisis intervention, and victim advocacy. This has provided a great deal of experience working with trauma and related issues, such as depression and anxiety in adults and children. It also has given me the opportunity to see families grow and make positive changes in their lives after adversity

I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but have had multiple opportunities to learn and train in other interventions such as Motivational Interviewing, Modified Interpersonal Therapy, and Rational Behavioral Therapy.
Counseling is a unique journey, involving a collaboration between therapist and client. Each individual is different and I believe in individualizing therapy, versus a "one size fits all" method. I believe in supporting clients by guiding them through self-discovery and challenging/processing their internal dialogues.

I operate from a cognitive behavioral lens while pulling from existential and solution-focused theories.
People come to counseling because they want something to be different in their lives. They may want to change their personal or family situation, solve a particular problem, or simply bring a healthier balance to their lives. The counseling process can be fun and exciting. It can also, at times, be very challenging. However, the goal will always be to bring about some positive change.

I am trained in TF-CBT and have worked with children who are ADHD, ODD, anxious, depressed, or having adjustment issues including those in foster or adoptive homes.
Saying that the last year has been difficult would be an understatement. So much has changed in all spheres of our lives and we wonder if things will ever be back to normal. Add in other typical life challenges and we feel overwhelmed, worried, exhausted and drained. Of particular concern are our children who aren't typically equipped yet with coping skills to manage times like these. The increase in depression and anxiety children are feeling is significant. Because many of them don't know how to verbalize these feelings, they have meltdowns or act out more than normal. You, as the parent, are at your wits end. Sound familiar?

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.
