Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients identify and change negative thought patterns affecting their emotions and behaviors. With extensive training, I provide practical tools tailored to your unique needs, whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or trauma. My approach is collaborative, helping you replace distorted thoughts with balanced ones. In a supportive environment, you’ll learn to manage challenges effectively, fostering self-awareness, and resilience.

Can teach coping skills so you can leave each session with specific tools to practice with.

My training and experience in cognitive behavioral therapy is at the heart of much of my therapeutic work. Utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy principles I aid my clients in overcoming limiting beliefs and in setting realistic goals for their lives. I am also trained in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy.

My desire is to guide people through the process of being able to see the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in order to overcome obstacles in their lives and make positive, lasting changes.

Understanding what you do and why you do it, is important. I work with CBT to identify your thoughts and feelings so you can change your behavior in way that fits who you are.

I've been trained in CBT Essentials, CBT for Anxiety, and CBT for Depression through the Beck Intitute.

I use CBT to gently challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and shift behaviors that may unknowingly increase distress.

My deep understanding of CBT allows me to help clients identify and reframe negative thought patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives. Through ongoing practice and education, I continue to refine my skills in this evidence-based approach.

This hands-on approach empowers you to take control of your thoughts and behaviors. By learning to identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors, you can improve your emotional well-being and develop skills that you can use throughout your life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy has been scientifically proven to be one of the most effective forms of treatment for depression, anxiety and substance use disorders and since dual diagnosis issues are my specialty, CBT has been my go to therapeutic approach for 26 years. The focus is to work together with patients to break down their thinking patterns that have led to unhealthy behaviors and bringing about change by challenging thought distortions and learning effective coping skills.

CBT-I (Insomnia) certified. Application of behavioral strategies to improve sleep restoration with the goal of hypnotic use to be supportive (not primary) and at the lowest dose for the least amount of time to achieve treatment goals.

CBT is an evidenced practice -- which basically means we know it works! In working with clients with eating disorders and body image struggles, I use a specialized adaptation of CBT called Enhanced CBT created specifically to address disordered eating. This is a structured, but high individualized treatment modality. CBT-E works to target specific harmful behaviors, and address aspects of your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions that contribute to the self-perpetuating cycle of disordered eating.

I have training in CBT and often bring elements of this into my therapy work, in addition to other modalities.

A primary form of psychotherapy/ 'talk therapy' used in counseling. CBT is rooted in the present time of a client's life & focuses on changing the automatic negative thoughts that can contribute to and worsen one's emotional difficulties. CBT focuses on the notion that the way an individual thinks and feels affects the way they will behave/respond.

I am a certified Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. I work with patients to identify, challenge, and replace negative and maladaptive thought patterns. I utilize CBT as a primary base, however I pull from a variety of therapeutic models and techniques to cater to each individual therapeutic needs.
