You’ve tried everything, but your child is struggling despite your best efforts. You’re constantly managing their tear-streaked tantrums or sullen silences. “Time outs” don’t work, rewards don’t work, you want to pull your hair out sometimes. You’ve tried talking to them, but they won’t tell you what they need. You wish you could read their mind. Pain and anxiety are written all over your child’s face. You so badly want to help but don’t know how. The helplessness and guilt you feel to see them suffer are almost too much to bear. You’ll never give up searching for a way to help them. There’s nothing you wouldn’t do for your child.

Approach Description: It is my desire and goal to help individuals reduce their negative mental health symptoms. In order to help, I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or treatment modalities based in CBT. CBT is the most well-researched psychosocial treatment approach. It is an active, here-and-now approach that focuses on teaching skills and strategies. Treatment typically involves more “teaching” than “treating”. For instance, if you are having problems with anxiety, you will first learn how anxiety works. Once you do, it is much easier to work on it. A lot of the work that you will be doing will be between sessions, through practice on changing the way you think (cognitive) and the way you behave (behavioral).
