I am an interactive therapist, practicing for more than 30 years. My preference is to work with couples helping them understand how "old" dynamics, patterns and behaviors impact their current relationship. And, then to coach them to make positive changes. I have worked quite a bit with couples who have experienced infidelity. I also enjoy working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression or other concerns helping them with coping strategies. Further, I have had a lot of experience working with healthcare professionals and first responders.

"You can't go back to change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending." - C. S. Lewis. Therapy is a collaborative effort to set goals and achieve them and that happens with the right connection between a client and a therapist. My approach to therapy is a mixture of strength-based therapy, empowerment, CBT, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness and I customize each session depending on who is sitting in front of me. I understand that each person's story is different.

How much time have you spent avoiding things and feeling tired of engaging in patterns that no longer serve you? Life isn't what you want it to be, but you're unsure where to start? Frequently people put their own needs on the back burner and sacrifice self care. Listen closely to what your heart is telling you and take the steps to invest in yourself and build the life you truly want. Therapy is not always easy, but it is often a very connecting and rewarding experience that fosters the personal growth many of us are seeking.

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.
