Not accepting new clients
I am committed to helping clients overcome negative issues and emerge from therapy empowered to reach their full potential. Whether you are struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, low-self-esteem or relationship issues, therapy can help eliminate feelings of shame and guilt and increase positive self-image. Eradicating negative thought processes can help you regain a sense of self-control. My non-judgmental, humanistic approach to both individual and relationship sessions will make the most difficult step of "starting" much easier. I am presently accepting new individuals and couples for therapy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness are some of the approaches I use to help you build a different way of looking at your life and empower yourself.
Does this sound familiar? "I will never be good enough." It’s easy to feel that way if you’ve been repeating the same unhelpful patterns for years. The good thing about patterns is that they can change if you let them. I do believe we’re all doing our best, but sometimes we don't know how to let go of judgement or regret, whether it’s in our relationships, jobs, or in our way of thinking about ourselves. We all want a full life—one not ruled by regret from the past or by fear of the future.

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.
