As an eclectic practitioner, I believe in using cognitive-behavioral, narrative, and family systems-based components where appropriate.
Therapy can sometimes be hard work, but it should also be rewarding and fun! My ideal client is looking for a collaborator/consultant- you are the expert in your own life; I want to reflect, help identify priorities, challenge, and offer new perspectives. I specialize in individual and couples' therapy, with special interests in academic and career progress, dilemmas of meaning and purpose, problematic family dynamics, sexual orientation and gender identity concepts, navigating ethical nonmonogamy, and negotiation and conflict resolution. I have a passion for destigmatizing mental health and advocating for wider access to services.

Life is hard enough without our own brains getting in the way. External circumstances-whether social, familial, school or work related-can challenge us beyond the point where we feel like we can cope, leading to anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. In such cases, we can sometimes become our own worst enemies, imposing counter-productive and negative judgments on ourselves. As a cognitive behavioral therapist, my role is to provide a safe, judgment-free environment in which we can address the issues together, discover solutions, and cultivate clarity and personal growth.

Each morning when I open my eyes, I say to myself: 'I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead; tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.'" ~Groucho Marx. I decided long ago that life is too short to feel miserable or to live in fear. I have since been in recovery for over 15 years! Today, I live my life differently, and, I can tell you, it's worth it. If you're ready to join me on this journey, give me a call.

There are many changes and adjustments in life that affect us in different ways. People have a wide range of emotions which can be overwhelming. Although life can be challenging to manage, we are presented with opportunities to grow. My counseling style is empathetic and genuine.

My goal is to provide you with a safe place to tell your story and I'm happy you're here.

I see a variety of clients who present with various issues/concerns/upsets, who are in distress and need help to see them through. It can be difficult to trust someone with personal issues, but after taking that first step, my clients generally feel comfortable with me, are forthcoming, and begin to feel hopeful again. Length of treatment varies depending on needs/issues, and I see both short-term and long-term clients/patients.

Life is hard. You try to do your best, but sometimes, challenges feel like too much. You think you should be able to figure it out on your own, but it is not working well. You talk to family or friends, but try as they might, they don’t know how to help. I know the prospect of therapy can be scary, but pursuing therapy is a sign of strength, courage, and hope. I believe when you find a therapist who is a good fit for you, and you feel heard and understood, you will find your way through uncertainty, fear, heartache, and pain and come closer to being more of the person you want to be.

Are you feeling depressed, overwhelmed, or uncertain of the next step? You may have experienced a major loss or an unexpected change. Perhaps you are just trying to get through each day or figure out who you are. I enjoy working with adults in Texas who are facing adjustment issues related to life changes, including depression, anxiety, or grief. As a transracial adoptee, I am also passionate about working with adult adoptees as they explore the lifelong questions and complexities of this experience.

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.
