What is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, evidence-based approach that helps people understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. It is active and present-focused, emphasizing what’s happening in your life now and the skills you can use right away. By identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing healthier responses, CBT empowers individuals to manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions, supporting lasting, positive change.

How do I get started?
We’ll begin with a brief 15-minute phone consultation to discuss what you’re seeking support for, answer any questions, and review fees and scheduling. This call helps us determine whether we’re a good fit and gives you space to decide if you feel comfortable moving forward with therapy. If we proceed, we’ll meet for an initial evaluation where I’ll gather information about your personal and mental health history, current concerns, and therapy goals. In the following sessions, we’ll continue building our working relationship, develop an individualized treatment plan, and begin working toward your goals.
