Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in 20712

My approach to therapy involves empowering persons to better understand themselves and acquire the tools to heal and make desired life changes. I utilize a combination of cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic therapeutic orientations in my practice. Consistent with an emphasis on empowerment is my wholistic focus on total well being. I promote balance across all personal dimensions (spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, and social). My life coaching practice draws from a similar wealth of psychological knowledge, however, with more of an educational emphasis. I facilitate the acquisition of problem solving and success orientation skills, aimed at enhancing personal empowerment and life satisfaction.

I have 30 years of experience counseling individuals, couples, and groups. In addition to my many years of experience, I have advanced training in mindbody medicine, brainspotting, EFT couples therapy, and CBT-I for insomnia to name some of my areas of training and expertise. I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process. The goal is to gain insight about past experiences and relationships that influence your current choices and the problems you face. Together, we will use this insight to help you develop more satisfying responses to life's challenges.

In my practice I am guided by the belief that change is possible and that every person has the capacity for healthy growth and development but may at times need help in accessing inner resources for positive change. I believe a therapist-client relationship that is characterized by empathy, curiosity, acceptance and caring is what facilitates the therapeutic process. I aim to provide an environment where my clients feel safe and free to explore their feelings, thoughts, needs and goals - an environment where we can work together at understanding what is keeping them from living a more fulfilling life.
