What it is

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach built on the connection between thoughts, feelings and actions. By noticing and testing unhelpful thoughts, and changing behaviors that keep a problem going, people often feel better and cope better.

What a session looks like

Sessions are structured and collaborative. We set goals, look at specific situations, and practice skills such as questioning anxious thoughts, planning activities and facing avoided situations. You usually try things between sessions.

Who it can help

Anxiety, depression, stress, worry, sleep problems and habits you want to change. It suits people who like clear steps and tools.

About my training

In my work I draw on ideas from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with other methods suited to each person.

Counseling that uses this approach

When life feels heavy, or you are not sure what to do next, individual counseling gives you room to say what you are feeling and make sense of it. I have worked with individuals for more than 35 years.

No one plans to struggle with chemical dependency, alcohol abuse or drug abuse, and it can happen to anyone. Counseling can be a first step toward sobriety and a life that feels like yours again. I have worked with people in recovery and their families for more than 35 years.

If your faith is part of who you are, it can be part of your counseling too. I bring the same professional care to every client and welcome faith into the conversation when you want it there.
