I'm a licensed psychotherapist and I've been working clinically since 2015. I use David Burns' TEAM-CBT approach (he has several great books you might be familiar with). However, sometimes CBT feels too focused on thoughts. In those cases, I tend to use DBT interventions which include more emotional awareness and regulation.
I am a structured, yet flexible, therapist who is warm, supportive, and encouraging. I work with adult clients struggling with anxiety, stress, perfectionism, and depression.
Most of my work focuses on helping clients better understand their thoughts and feelings. Once the thoughts and feelings can be identified and noticed, I teach clients how to change distorted thinking and better regulate their emotions. This leads to reduced negative thinking, increased positive emotions, an increase in self-esteem, and reduced worry.
