Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Anacortes, WA
I use an integrated approach blending family systems, object relations and cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients achieve their goals.
Therapy is a process of self- discovery, increasing awareness and insight into choices that keep us stuck in patterns that prevent us from living the quality life we desire. Therapy is not just for those who have experienced trauma or loss, but also for those who may feel they could be happier, more content, more successful, more at peace or just feel something is missing. Exploring these areas and the way we encounter and experience the world, can take us to unexpected places and holds the key to reaching the enormous potential we all have inside.

My integrative approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, humanistic therapy, and sand-tray therapy, is often tailored to meet the client's individual needs while embracing their intersectionalities with acceptance and care.
I am passionate about meeting clients where they are, no matter what challenges they come in with. The client's needs, goals, and desire for change are created by them in the therapeutic space, and my goal is to encourage, empower, and allow for growth to be possible with endless support. I value helping all individuals, including children, teens, and adults, become their authentic selves in every environment. Much of my practice includes highlighting systemic injustices and working to make minority communities feel more seen, heard, and valued.

I use a combination of Cognitive-Behavioral, Rational-Emotive, Play Therapy and Client-Centered approaches to treatment.
Serving as a minister and earning a PhD in Counseling Psychology equipped me to care for people in crises. Working with vulnerable children and their families or caregivers, also proved to be a valuable foundation for clinical care. In a medical academic setting, training residents in the use of spirituality and psychology as they cared for their patients, deepened my own understanding of just how complex clinical issues can become. This also increased my understanding of the level of stress healthcare providers and victims themselves experience during illness.

I use a combination of Gottman Method, EFT, solution-focused and CBT models.
People go to therapy for various reasons and there may be no "right time" to start. I realized the first step of reaching out for help can be intimidating and I strive to make that process as simple and transparent as possible. My practice is centered on the idea that behavioral change is possible and constant. With a combination of social support, personal agency and opportunities, people can flourish to their full potential. It would be my honor to be a part of your journey toward healing and growth.

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.
