Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

I am not a cognitive behavioral therapist, but I do generously incorporate lessons from cognitive science into my sessions, particularly ways in which our own thinking impacts our mood and behaviors. I challenge my clients to examine areas of their lives they have the autonomy and control to change things, which usually only involves the way they think about or react to a particular situation. CBT helps my clients see their lives in perspective and gives them a greater sense of mastery.

Embark on a path to positive change with me, a skilled practitioner in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Through collaborative and goal-oriented sessions, we address the nexus between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Unlock powerful strategies to challenge and reshape negative patterns, fostering resilience and lasting transformation. Experience a therapeutic journey that empowers you to navigate life's challenges with newfound insight and practical tools.

We are one of the few therapy providers in the San Diego area to practice “Third Wave” Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is one of the top interventions for conditions such as poanxiety and phobia disorders. The core idea of CBT is that it changes the way we think by physically changing our brain.

I have a wealth of experience with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and have been trained in some of the newer "third wave" of CBTs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). The principles behind Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) guide my practice. I try and balance the older model of challenging one's thoughts with some of the newer ideas about decentering from one's thoughts and emotions.

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 often utilize evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral techniques to help clients identify the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. These techniques can be helpful for challenging thought patterns and negative beliefs that no longer serve you. CBT can also be very practical, allowing us to remain focused in sessions and providing strategies or homework between sessions so that you can get the most out of therapy.

I weave in applicable interventions including information on cognitive distortions, assistance in weighing the evidence, and implementation of the downward arrow.

I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. CBT focuses on challenging distorted thinking and adopting healthier behaviors, making it effective for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. By transforming unhelpful thoughts and actions, clients can achieve significant improvements in their emotional well-being and quality of life.

I see Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy as a wide therapeutic tradition from which I can draw from to apply research-supported means of change. I’ve received advanced training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) and the principles behind Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) guide my work. I try blend the older cognitive model of challenging your thoughts with the newer research on decentering from our ideas, beliefs, and emotions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of talking therapy. It is a common treatment for a range of mental health problems and life stressors. CBT teaches you coping skills for dealing with different problems. It focuses on how your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes affect your feelings, behaviors, and actions.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my approach with clients. With CBT, you learn coping strategies as well as learn to practice different ways of thinking and reacting to situations that bring relief to negative, distressing thoughts and soothe painful emotions and help you feel more capable of handling whatever problems or stressors you may face, including difficult feelings of anxiety, worry or depression.

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 is a way of doing therapy that leverages the empirical information we have about what works for whom on the therapist/client relationship. I like to balance the approach of challenging one's thoughts from the older cognitive-behavioral models with the newer approaches of "third wave" CBTs, like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT).
