As a Cognitive-Behavioral Therapist my approach assumes that solutions to problems are inherently available to us. I view people as dynamic and whole individuals who may need counseling as a tool for growth, or to work out areas where they may feel "stuck." My clients have commented that I provide consistent statements of empowerment and insight that can get things moving along in the right direction.
When I work with people, one of my goals is to help them identify the underlying thinking that is associated with undesirable feelings, actions and behaviors. One potential benefit of cognitive therapy is the ability to detect, challenge, and change those beliefs and attitudes that create, maintain and worsen feelings such as depression, anxiety, fear, panic, anger, etc. Cognitive therapy can also help us gain new understanding about our problems and learn new ways of coping and solving problems. With new skills, people often report a significant reduction in their feelings of distress, improved general functioning, and improved relationships. Overcoming problems and building emotional muscle takes hard work. I believe in a team approach to change, and as a member of the team, I will work diligently to provide my professional skills, knowledge and services. I will regularly review with you your goals and progress, and want you to be open and honest in providing input, feedback and suggestions. If you have any questions or you are ready to set an initial appointment please feel free to call, text or email me.
