Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is form of psychotherapy that treats problems and boosts happiness by modifying dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and thoughts. CBT focuses on solutions, encouraging clients to challenge distorted cognitions and change destructive patterns of behavior. CBT is helpful for many clients to change their outlook on life and future goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is highly effective due to its evidence-based approach that links thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It offers practical tools to challenge negative thought patterns, empowering individuals to reframe their thinking and develop coping strategies. CBT's goal-oriented nature and collaborative approach help clients achieve specific outcomes in a relatively short timeframe. Its adaptability makes it suitable for a range of mental health issues, and its emphasis on

CBT is the gold-standard of effective treatment for most issues. Its basic approach is to help you identify your own problem-causing or problem-worsening thought and feelings and behaviors. Then, together, we identify ways you can choose to be different.

Before starting my practice, I was on the clinical faculty at the University of California, San Francisco for over three years. I completed my doctoral training in eating disorders programs in New York and San Francisco, including: UCSF, Montefiore Medical Center, and NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell. I’ve supported people across the lifespan and in all levels of care: outpatient, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization, as well as inpatient psychiatric and medical hospitals.

CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is like being the detective of your own brain. It helps you uncover the sneaky, unhelpful thoughts causing chaos in your life—like that inner voice insisting you're doomed because you forgot a meeting. Together, we’ll interrogate those thoughts, challenge their logic, and replace them with more helpful ones. It’s basically training your brain to stop being dramatic and start being your best ally. Think of it as a mental makeover with fewer HGTV montages!

Cognitive behavior therapy is an evidence-based modality that I learned in graduate school and have used ever cents. It is flexible and can be adapted to almost any issue that a client faces. I bring a more spiritual orientation to my understanding of CBT. The bottom line for me is that when we change our thoughts we change our experience.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a treatment approach that helps you recognize negative or unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. In our sessions, we would explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors to work out if they're unrealistic or unhelpful and to determine the effect they have on each other and on you. We would also explore deeply held beliefs you have about yourself and the world that inform these thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Then we would begin challenging them.

We practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It has been shown to be effective for a range of problems including anxiety, depression, and trauma. Many research studies show that CBT improves functioning and quality of life. It has also been demonstrated to be as effective as, or more effective than, other forms of psychological therapy or psychiatric medications.

I use CBT to help individuals addressing anxiety, low mood, and ADHD.

I am trained in trauma-focused CBT and utilize this approach and concepts to address a variety of issues.

Here's a lot of acronyms for you! I pull from concepts in DBT, ACT, and Behavioral Activation. I love behavioral therapies. I can explain more of each of these in our sessions. I try to make things understandable and easy to implement.

CBT is an evidence based approach that focuses on exploring the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and actions. In CBT, the therapist and client work collaboratively to examine these patterns, to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts, and to challenge harsh self-criticism and unrealistic perspectives. Along the way, clients cultivate beliefs that are more balanced, realistic, and encouraging.

This method is one that has been around for a long time and is the cornerstone of many other modalities (DBT, ACT, REBT, etc.). This modality helps client to understand their own distorted thinking patterns, create more effective behavioral patterns, and create a more positive perception of themselves, others, and the world.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) will help you learn to recognize your negative thinking patterns that are creating problems, and then to reconstruct them against reality. We’ll use problem-solving skills to cope with difficult situations. CBT treatment can involve efforts to change behavioral patterns.

I am a graduate of the acclaimed Behavior Therapy Training Institute.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a process of exploration of negative thoughts that lead to anxiety and depression. Further, 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 create life problems. I’ll help you create change to achieve your desired symptom relief.
