I specialize in Depression Treatment using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and through this you can change.
Do you find yourself wanting more from your daily life? Or are unhappy and you don't know why? Can't figure out why you don't find enjoyment in the things you used to? You sleep all the time and still wake up exhausted. Depression is real and it can be debilitating. You just want to feel normal but don't know what to do. There's no reason for you to feel this way or go through it alone. You want to be the you, you used to be. It's not too late and change is not impossible. You can be the you, you want to be.

I tailor my therapeutic approach depending on the client and like to incorporate either child-centered play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and/or creative techniques through games and arts.
Are you having a difficult time adjusting to changes in your life? Is your anxiety creating limitations for you? Or maybe you are a parent that is trying to help their child regulate their emotions. People sometimes go through events in life where they need additional support as they attempt to navigate them. A therapist may be the unbiased and nonjudgmental person you can talk to.

I frequently use tools from CBT.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating and scary for some clients. My goal is to make my clients feel supported, seen, and valued as soon as they step in the door. Being an animal-assisted therapist, I find highlighting and deepening the bond between humans and animals can have substantial impacts on one's mental health journey. Most clients that I work with vary in age, starting in early childhood and continuing on into parenting and adulthood. My ideal client is one that is engaged, open to learning, and motivated for positive change. Working together, we can take steps to help you live the best version of your life.

My main techniques for helping clients are PCT (person-centered therapy) with some techniques taken from CBT (cognitive-behavioral therapy) and SFBT (solution-focused brief therapy) to holistically address the needs of the whole person.
Life is a complicated game. I will help you implement strategies that you will be able to draw on long after our time together is done. I will approach our work together not by telling you what to do, but keeping you at the center of your story while I ride shotgun on your healing journey all while helping you reframe any negativity and stay focused on available solutions. You are not your worst thoughts and feelings, and they don’t need to hold you back. These things can be used as stepping stones to become a greater, more solid version of self. Even if you’ve been through this dark place before, we can get you through it again.

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.
