I draw from my training in psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and person-centered therapy, amongst others.
Seeking out help can be hard. But it’s a brave first step in working with issues that hold us back on our journey of healing and self discovery. I work with clients that find themselves feeling stuck or dissatisfied in various aspects of their lives, be it relationships, family dynamics, or careers. I also specialize in adolescents (and their families) who struggle with self worth and discovering who they are in the midst of a challenging stage of life. I believe in the importance of understanding how our past experiences and family dynamics shape who we are as unique individuals.

I focus on supporting individuals, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help my clients gain practical insight into their situations, regain emotional balance, and identify what you are feeling, why you might be feeling it, and how to cope so the healing may begin.
We all seek a comfortable balance between the demands of our daily lives, but sometimes even the balancing act itself can become a source of stress. I put great emphasis on developing a therapeutic relationship with each client I work with in order to develop a sense of trust. I am a safe environment for you to fall into, but I am also the side of the mirror we often avoid. It is on that other side of the mirror where we may find breakthrough, self-worth, and growth. I am dedicated to fostering a non-judgmental environment for you to work through everything you are feeling to heal and improve your quality of life.

No two people are alike, so I draw from over 25 years of training and experience as a Clinical Psychologist to help my client's address the problems that brought them in to see me and have a better life. Typically, I rely upon cognitive, psychodynamic, interpersonal, family systems or behavioral approaches, but I utilize whatever works to help my clients get the core of their problems and resolve them. I work with adults, couples, young adults and adolescents, and I accept many insurance plans and private pay. When you're ready to change and have your life work call me.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process where you are the expert in you and I am the expert in human behavior. Together we work toward achieving your goals. I work from a cognitive-behavioral perspective, however, I am trained in a variety of techniques, including EMDR, and I tailor my approach to meet my client's individual needs. Many adults seek treatment when they discover that their coping strategies and survival skills of childhood don't work in adulthood. Frequently, people are feeling overwhelmed when they enter treatment. Therefore, lowering one's baseline level of distress is usually the first step.

These include CBT, ACT, RET, and mindfulness.
I have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and have been in practice since 1986. My style is interactive, but varies depending on the needs and personality of the client(s). I see the therapy process as a team effort with ongoing review of client satisfaction. When appropriate I consult other professionals and/or make referrals. I believe that peoples' feelings and behaviors are effected by their interpretations of events, and sometimes encourage clients to explore their interpretations. I try to work within their spiritual and cultural belief system, and seek information when my knowledge is limited.

I can help you get the easy, effortless sleep you want again! In as few as 6-8 session, the treatment I use (CBT-I, Google it!) has the power to transform your sleep so that you can fall asleep easily.
If you've dreaded going to bed because you know it will be yet another night of tossing and turning, you know how desperate you can be to get some shuteye. It's possible you're even reading this at 3am. You may have tried everything--medications, natural supplements, meditation, oils, etc.--and nothing seems to work! It can be frustrating when you used to sleep so easily. You begin to feel like your insomnia has a life of its own, feeling drowsy on your commute to work, drinking cup after cup of coffee to make it through your day. You look on jealously at your partner or kid, who seem to sleep so effortlessly. It feels unfair!

I mainly use CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), that I occasionally mix with some DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), if needed.
My ideal client comes to me seeking to regain a balance in their life they may have lost. I have experience with clients who have dealt with various issues such as trauma, addiction, depression, and more. For each and every one of them, I meet them where they are. I then create personalized goals to regain a sense of normalcy and understanding they may have forgotten. They often come to me not always knowing what to fully expect, however, we always make progress in discovering what it is that they may need.

Sleep difficulties like insomnia can affect every facet of your life, which is why it is so stressful when sleep isn't going right. I specialize in helping my clients learn strategies for lasting sleep improvements. As a licensed clinical psychologist board certified in behavioral sleep medicine, I treat insomnia, hypersomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, and CPAP adherence issues in adults and children. I have a special interest in helping women navigate their own unique sleep challenges, such as menstrual disorders, pregnancy/postpartum, and menopause.

Although it is largely founded in principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I also borrow from other theoretical orientations.
As a solution-focused psychologist with a diverse clinical background, I am able to tailor my work to fit the specific needs of each client. Many individuals will hit a rough patch their lives leaving them feeling overwhelmed, stuck, alone, uninspired, unfulfilled, or just out of ideas. Clients are particularly ready for psychotherapy when the problem begins to interfere with functional living and relationships.

I have experience in the pro sports world as a professional air hockey player (top 10 world ranked, former World Champion), and I love using the cognitive behavioral and motivational techniques that I have learned as a therapist to help athletes of all stripes to achieve their goals.
I love helping people with OCD, athletes under pressure to perform, and men whose lives and relationships are unraveling because of video games. Each of these areas resonate with me in different ways, and I have so much compassion for people going through these challenges. As someone who has personally experienced OCD, I understand, in a very real sense, how debilitating it can be. I know what it’s like to have a part of your brain whispering to you, “I can’t feel this way…I must do something to make the feeling go away, or something bad will happen.” I also know what it is like to go through treatment and get better!

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.
