You’re allowed to insist that therapy...


I’m here for you.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is designed to be short-term and solution-focused, helping you make meaningful progress without feeling stuck in therapy forever. Instead of just talking about problems, CBT provides practical tools to change negative thought patterns and behaviors, so you can gain control over your life. The goal is to equip you with strategies that promote long-term healing and independence, allowing you to move forward with confidence rather than relying on therapy indefinitely.

How I can help

CBT helps you finally create lasting change.

CBT is a time-tested therapeutic approach that focuses on the dynamic relationship between our thoughts, emotions, and behavior. It empowers individuals to challenge and reframe negative cognitive patterns, leading to positive behavioral changes and emotional well-being. The first step in harnessing the power of CBT is identifying the beliefs and narratives that may be holding you back from achieving your goals. Are you plagued by self-doubt? Do you fear failure or judgment? By recognizing these cognitive barriers and challenging their validity, you can cultivate a more empowering mindset.

CBT also emphasizes the importance of emotion regulation. You’ll learn how to authentically express emotion witha balanced perspective, validating the legitimate struggles and feelings you experience, but avoiding dwelling solely on negativity. Instead, you’ll learn to focus on new coping strategies, develop resilience, and experiment with problem-solving skills to navigate challenging situations. In short, CBT helps by exploring and challenging negative cognitive patterns and reframing your story, you are better able to align your actions with your aspirations, regulate your emotions, and reshape how you show up in the world.
