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.

We determine our self-worth by comparing our lives and judging ourselves against unattainable or unrealistic standards (hello, Instagram). I'm here to say, "I get it" and to provide breathing room when you don't feel like you’re good enough, or when you have hit your capacity. I work with individuals who want to feel better about their bodies and their relationship with food, people navigating a little thing called motherhood, those those hoping to get the most out of relationships.

I know what it's like to struggle with feeling safe in your body and not knowing why you feel that way. We together can separate the medical challenges from the mental health challenges. I can help teach you strategies to move through your trauma and eating disorder challenges to remain feeling safe in your body again. We can expand the uncomfortable feelings gently in session to help those feelings move out of your body and not return.

Welcome new clients! Does depression weigh you down and say you always come up short? Is anxiety paralyzing that you can't seem to relax? Does trauma hold you back from creating your preferred life story? I follow your lead as I help you increase awareness of how the problems entered your life. The problem doesn't get the final say on how you live your life. Let's reclaim that life you've always wanted, while being in touch with your strengths, values, and wisdom to create your solutions.

In this increasingly “good vibes only” culture, do you feel that you need to hide parts of yourself in order to fit in or be included in the group? Do you feel like you’re either too much or not enough? Like you’re the black sheep in your family or with your friends? You may have been thrown into an adult role as a child, having to emotionally care for your parent or caregiver, at the expense of your own emotional development, growth, or even safety. If this sounds familiar, there is hope.

Complex or relational trauma can show up as overwhelming emotions, depression, anxiety, or problems building or keeping relationships. It can also show up as symptoms of post traumatic stress or PTSD. Whether you need help navigating current stress, or processing and resolving problems rooted in past experiences, we can work together to build skills to manage emotions in the present while uncovering glimmers of hope to move forward through darkness toward healing.
Online Therapy
I strive to come from a place of compassion and empathy because, as humans, we all have patterns, messages, and lessons that show up in our lives. The more conscious and mindful we can become of these patterns, the more freedom we can have from them. My goal in therapy is to utilize evidence-based treatments to help you understand these themes so that you can gain the tools, insights, and skills necessary to live the life you want.
