Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

I use CBT for its evidence-based practice in treating anxiety. I work with clients to zero in on problematic thoughts which lead to unwanted emotions and behaviors.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the relationship between emotions, thoughts/beliefs/attitudes, and behavior. I specialize in using CBT to identify negative thought patterns and reframe these negative patterns to more desirable, positive patterns to alleviate depressive and anxious symptoms.

I have specialized training in numerous CBT based approaches including: CBT, DBT, and Trauma focused CBT. Increasing awareness around thinking errors, gaining skills in emotional regulation and distress tolerance, increasing emotional awareness and responsiveness, and making value based decisions can be a reality.

I believe that change comes through identifying thoughts, that influence behavior patterns, and being able to change those from being problematic to healthy and productive

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach focusing on how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. It helps clients identify and challenge negative thoughts that contribute to their emotional struggles, allowing them to develop healthier coping strategies. In my work, I use CBT techniques to help clients understand how their thoughts affect their feelings and actions, help them build resilience, and tackle challenges more effectively.

CBT is an effective and research based approach to therapy. I use CBT interventions to help clients manage symptoms in their day to day lives.

I believe that sometimes our thoughts can be our own worst enemy. I often use CBT in my practice to face our unproductive thoughts head on in order to reframe and replace them with more positive, beneficial, and useful thoughts.

I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for anxiety, depression, and suicide prevention.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients to develop awareness of their thoughts and how they impact their feelings and behavior. Some people enjoy the practical processes that CBT uses to teach them more about their thought process.

I also employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to assist clients in identifying and modifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT's structured approach fosters self-awareness and empowers clients to enact positive change, enhancing their mental health and life satisfaction.

CBT is the gold standard for counseling. Clients who learn to understand their own thought processes (and that of their partner) can get pretty quickly to addressing their unwanted behaviors. CBT is especially helpful for highly intelligent individuals, and those at the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum.

Our perception is reality. The way we perceive a situation, FEELS completely real and we will respond based on that perception. However, not all of our perceptions our helpful or accurate. CBT can help a person distinguish the difference between helpful and unhelpful thoughts so that they don't need to suffer unnecessarily.

With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches, I help clients identify the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be contributing to their symptoms and distress. By focusing on their unique background/experiences, I help clients make meaning of their experiences so they can reduce distress and build more meaningful relationships and interactions. *For individuals from oppressed group(s), this includes acknowledging the ongoing impact of current and/or historical oppression.

In my sessions we will frequently look at how our thoughts are connected with our emotions and behaviors, and work towards our thoughts driving our emotions, and not letting our emotions drive our thoughts. This also includes identifying behavior and thought patterns, as well as distorted thoughts and working on ways to correct them if possible.

As a therapist trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I specialize in helping clients identify, challenge, and rewrite their unhelpful thinking patterns, because what you think and feel impacts how you behave. Just imagine if you flipped the script of “I’m a weirdo” to “I’m hilarious” when trying to make new friends. This simple mindset shift can increase your confidence and help you connect with others.

I authored Reason, the Moment and Recovery, a workbook combining Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) with Mindfulness.

Using CBT, you work to change your thought and behaviors to help you feel better. It is an evidence-based approach to mental health and recovery.

I utilize CBT in my practice, which is an excellent way to challenge behaviors that may be impacting your emotions. Together, we will work to discuss your past, present, and solution in a therapeutic setting.

CBT is a model which I truly believe has the capacity to aid others in changing for good. I have been trained to administer it for children, up to senior adults. I believe that our thoughts, feelings and behaviors are intertwined and when one of them becomes unhealthy, the others suffer. My mission is to utilize this modality to ensure that you feel symmetry in your life and maintain a sense of balance while achieving your goals.
