I specialize in cognitive behavior therapy for depression, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders such as depression, generalized anxiety and worry, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety, panic disorder, trichotillomania, and skin-picking disorder.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Washington State and South Carolina. My most common client is someone that has tried previous therapies that have left them frustrated due to lack of results. I am proud to offer evidence-based treatments for anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and disorders of emotion regulation. My practice is offered in hybrid of video-conferencing and in-person meetings. Some of the benefits of this format is being able to meet with an evidence-based treatment therapist in the privacy of your own home with greater flexibility in scheduling.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia.
Do you struggle with panic attacks, insomnia, or worry? Do you have difficulty standing up for yourself and saying no? Perhaps you are stuck in the cycle of perfectionism, where no matter what you do, it never feels like you are good enough? If these questions feel familiar to you, I am so glad you reached out for help. I work with people struggling with anxiety... high achievers who find themselves at a crossroads, where their perfectionism is no longer working for them, but against them. I love helping people find their self-worth from within, and find the skills to set healthy boundaries and live the life they want to live.

Are you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? Sometimes life brings us to a place where we need to reach out and find help. If this is you, I would love to partner with you and help you find the solution that best fits your needs. Healing starts with connection and finding the space for yourself to discover what is happening within yourself. Counseling is most effective when there is a connection with your therapist while discovering the triggers, patterns, and thoughts that often interrupt your quality of life. Come and discover how it feels to be heard, validated, and cared for!

Are you tired of feeling upset? Do you find yourself overreacting to situations? Have you tried talk therapy that didn't quite work? You're not alone. Traditional talk therapy often focuses on the mind, but what if the problem goes deeper? These experiences can get "stuck" in our bodies, leading to automatic reactions that hold us back. Many of our beliefs and emotional responses are formed early on, when we are too young to fully understand what is happening. EMDR addresses the body, emotions, and stored past experiences. I'll help you rewrite negative beliefs, process your past, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

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.
