Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a classic talk therapy technique that helps increase awareness of negative thinking in order to better handle challenging situations. In addition to helping those with mental health disorders (such as anxiety or depression), CBT is also helpful for anyone who is looking to learn how to manage stressful situations. Therapists that use CBT often have a structured program, which involves a set number of sessions. CBT is frequently paired with other treatments, such as medication, when necessary. Think this approach may be right for you? Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s CBT experts today.

As a trauma therapist, I work with clients experiencing past or present trauma. My expertise encompasses various forms of trauma, including sexual, physical, emotional, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) resulting from war, natural disasters, and unresolved grief. Even though I specialize in Trauma counseling, I work with many clients who have anxiety, depression, mood disorders, intrusive thoughts, etc.
Whether you feel controlled by your past trauma, you’re struggling to find your place as a teen, or you’re trying to manage the pressures of mastering this whole successful adulting thing, I’m here for you. I’ve worked with clients at their very lowest in psychiatric hospital settings, in homes and communities, schools, and outpatient therapy settings. This wide array of experiences has really taught me so much about the complexities of the human condition in all of its messy and gritty glory.

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

I help people understand how thoughts and emotions influence health and happiness. I support them in gaining new insight. I teach people how to be embodied in their body. I help individuals cultivate or deepen their sense of spirituality. I assist them in identifying and breaking out of unhelpful thinking and/or behavioral patterns.

It can be hard to cope sometimes in this ever-changing world...Do you want more out of life? Do you want more than what a life coach or an accountability coach can offer? Your treatment should NOT feel like a fast-food drive thru. My specialty is working with neurodivergent clients with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, and/or clients that may process information or their emotions differently.
