My training background is cognitive/behavioral but I work to meet clients where they are at.
Everyone needs a safe place to express their thoughts, feelings, hopes and fears. Sometimes that means seeking out a professional. Someone who can listen, support, and assist in helping to overcome obstacles or reduce emotional pain. This is my ultimate goal for everyone with whom I work. I have been working in the field of counseling for 18 years and have experience working with a wide variety of individuals. Some need help adjusting to a life change. Others have experienced significant trauma or struggle with suicidal thoughts. Mostly, I am here to meet you where you are at and to help you reach your goals.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed or weighed down by the curveballs life has thrown at you? As if there are a lot of feelings or thoughts whirling inside you that you cannot explain or understand? Or maybe you just don't feel like yourself anymore but can't put a finger on when or why things changed. I believe that a genuine therapeutic relationship and a nonjudgmental space to explore our stories can help us heal what feels broken. The most common issues I enjoy working with are depression, grief, adjustment to major life/career changes, ADHD symptom management and relationship troubles.

If you have a desire to make changes, but aren't sure where to start or don’t feel like you can do it alone, therapy can help! Stressors like communication issues or strife with your partner or family, anxiety or conflict at work or church, and past abuse or other traumatic experiences can all weaken the body's ability to be as effective through life. Having an intentional time each week to focus on yourself and your connections and stressors is what therapy can offer. It's a time to pause, reflect, and dive deeper into what's weighing you down and shore up what matters most to you.

Whether you're looking for help with one of these relationships specifically, or simply need a hand during a difficult time, I am here to support you.

My specialty is non-directive play therapy for children ages 4 – 12 and talk therapy from ages 13 - and up. I use this client-centered approach with the theory that children use their play to communicate more effectively than language and typical talk therapy. I see play therapy as a way to meet children where they are and learn from them about their world.

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.
