With individuals, I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT) for anxiety, depression, and related issues, and Prolonged Exposure (PE) for trauma.
I'm a bilingual (English and Spanish) clinical psychologist with training in evidence-based treatments for individuals and couples. One of specializations is in couple therapy. I wholeheartedly enjoy helping couples work through and overcome obstacles in their relationship stemming from individual differences, life transitions (i.e., parenthood, empty nest, retirement), emotional distance, and infidelity. I also have extensive training in treating individuals with anxiety, depression, and trauma-related disorders. I provide psycheoducational testing in English and Spanish.

I currently provide Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD treatment, and I am pursuing certification in EDMR.
Are the tools you once relied on to get through the day no longer getting you through breakfast? Are your days slipping past in a haze of emotions that you do not understand or that do not feel real? Are you stuck in a moment when you don’t want to be? We all need healing in today's world, and reaching out is the first step. My approach to therapy is client-centered and eclectic, but I believe in focusing on individual strengths and finding solutions-focused methods to address individual problems. When we are wrestling with our trauma and our identity, we can feel isolated, confused, and too raw to move forward without support.

While primarily utilizing a Cognitive Behavioral approach, I implement a variety of techniques into my therapy so I can best serve my clients to fit their needs.
It can be difficult to admit when we are struggling. Life can be a cruel teacher. It can teach us that if share our fears and anxieties with others, we are burdening them or giving them ammunition to use against us in the future. It may teach us that to seek help means we are weak, and that we should struggle alone. I want you to know that while it may not feel like it, seeking help is evidence of strength, not weakness. It proves that you are done with running from your fears and insecurities. You are looking to better yourself. Together, we can make sure you achieve that.

Change is a part of life, but sometimes, change can cause a great amount of distress, especially when it is sudden and unwelcome. How people cope with change, how they view their situation, and their perceived amount of social support will determine how they will feel emotionally, physically, and mentally. It is not unnatural to be at a loss as to how to cope or where to start. It is during these times that the best thing to do is ask for help.

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.
