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.

I specialize in guiding POC and LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples towards nurturing healthier relationships. Many of you are high achievers accustomed to juggling numerous responsibilities. Yet, you might find yourselves grappling with stress, burnout, or feelings of being underappreciated. It's not uncommon to struggle with communication, conflict management, or establishing healthy boundaries. These challenges can feel amplified by societal pressures and expectations, but here, we work it out.

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 work with clients coping with being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world, perfectionism, challenging family dynamics, work/life imbalance, OCD, and religious trauma. I enjoy working with women and NB individuals who struggle with the cultural norms forced upon them. I have experience supporting clients to identify and work with their ND characteristics - including those who believe they may have undiagnosed ADHD or Autism. I am LGBTQIA+ allied.
