Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Are you experiencing grief over a major loss? Are you dealing with past trauma? I would love to work with you. I have had many personal and professional experiences that can help me help you. I believe that the only things we truly have control over in our life are our own thoughts and behaviors. It is because of this belief that I use cognitive-behavioral therapy. I teach thought stopping, cognitive restructuring, relaxation, mindfulness, grounding, calming techniques and am also a fully trained EMDR Therapist. Call me to see if we would make a good therapeutic team.

Together we can work towards these goals and any others using talk therapy, EMDR, CBT, and/or DBT.
Are you ready to get out of survival mode and back into a life you love? Is it hard to imagine that's possible because of trauma you’ve experienced? Life throws challenges our way and although we never asked for something traumatic to happen, it falls on us to figure out how to pick up the pieces and move forward. What you endured may have left you feeling anxious or depressed, with lower self-esteem, a negative body image, or a loss of identity. You may be ignoring these issues and look like you have it together despite feeling triggered and struggling with your thoughts and emotions. Your life doesn't have to continue this way.

I believe biological, social, socioeconomic, and other non- cognitive factors are an essential part of diagnosis and treatment planning.
My primary clinical experience lies in developing coping skills and identifying goals for adolescents and adults during transitional periods in their lives, such as, college and career counseling, pre- and post-marital counseling, and infidelity recovery. Moreover, I specialize in treatment for ADHD/ADD and offer a variety of treatment methods. Additionally, I have experience with mental health disorders varying from Personality Disorders, Bipolar 1 & 2, OCD, Depression, and Anxiety. My holistic approach to intake and treatment differentiates me from a mere psychological approach to diagnosis, assessment, and evaluation.

As your guide, I bring tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into our sessions, while tailoring them to resonate with your unique experiences.
I focus on working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, panic, and ADHD, some of which can result from unresolved complex trauma. Whether you are feeling alone, fighting through unhelpful thoughts, or struggling to find your place in the world, I support you in making sense of your emotions and guide you on how to pave the way forward. Over time, complex trauma can wear one down and even make setting some boundaries difficult, although it is through gentle guidance with compassionate helpers like me that a person begins to rediscover inner strengths.

If you are struggling with depression, infidelity, trauma or relationship difficulties, then I would like to help you with this. Perhaps you have started to lose hope in your future, feel disconnected from people or get no enjoyment out of life. Or maybe you are experiencing mood-swings, self-criticism or even a sense that your emotions have been turned off. You might feel that difficult experiences in childhood or those within an adult relationship have left you feeling traumatized and stuck. Or maybe you feel betrayed by a partner – through what they did or what they are not doing. It is possible to heal from these things.

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.
