Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

I offer medication management but work with many therapist

I utilize both CBT and DBT to address many of the challenges many people struggle with. Both therapies are helpful in coping with anxiety, depression and PTSD.

I provide cognitive behavior therapy to support clients struggling with anxiety and depression. For those struggling with disordered eating and Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, I provide a specialized CBT- AR developed to support clients with ARFID.

I'm in expert in this area because I completed professional training over 30 years ago and have frequently used it in my practice to help numerous people.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and transform unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that may be holding you back. By understanding the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions, we work together to challenge negative thought patterns and replace them with healthier, more constructive perspectives. CBT is a practical, evidence-based approach that equips you with tools to manage stress, improve problem-solving, and create lasting change in your life.

When we address our thoughts, beliefs and behaviors we begin to change the lens through which we see ourselves and the world around us. I have extensive experience in utilizing CBT to help my clients address and re-train patterns that no longer serve them.

CBT focuses on changing irrational thought patterns and behaviors

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns. It focuses on how thoughts influence emotions and behaviors. CBT equips clients with coping strategies, teaches problem-solving skills, and promotes healthier thinking, leading to improved mental health and emotional regulation.

I have over eight years of CBT focused training and experience with a variety of populations.

Concrete tools to increase awareness of the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behavioral patterns, to create beneficial changes.

CBT is a common and widely used approach by many therapists. The goals is to help clients understand how they think and ultimately impact how they feel and behave.

CBT is based on the idea that how we think (cognition), how we feel (emotion) and how we act (behavior) all interact together. Specifically, our thoughts determine our feelings and our behavior. Therefore, negative and unrealistic thoughts can cause us distress and result in problems. I also offer to my clients under the age of 17, TF-CBT (trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy). TF-CBT is considered the gold standard in treating children with traumatic events.

CBT therapy has helped me to heal my own mind and I know first hand how valuable this technique is. While I bring an eclectic framework for therapy, drawing upon many techniques, CBT remains a vital part of my practice. Understanding the connection of our thoughts and emotions and increasing our mindfulness in this area is essential for progress in therapy.

My doctoral training was rooted in CBT approaches. By understanding our thoughts and how they impact behaviors we want to adjust, we can become more healthy. CBT is one of the most well-researched and validated approaches for therapy.

Cognitive behavioral therapy examines thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and the relationship between them. Using CBT, we will work to examine how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors impact your life and we will work to change the dynamics to promote a healthier, more fulfilling way of being.

CBT is the basis of life. It is cognitive (our thinking process) and behavioral (the way we act) that is at the core of all we do. To truly understand one's self, is to understand the way we think and how it effects the way we feel and act. We have the power to understand our thinking and to change it.
