ABOUT
I believe that the job of a therapist is to help their client make the changes in their life that will enable them to achieve their goals, and be the person they want to be, doing the activities that are important to them. In order to do this, it is important to help the client understand what they are THINKING, FEELING, and DOING in the here and now that is interfering with them accomplishing their goals, AND help them to make effective changes in those domains to move towards their goals. To this end, in addition to traditional Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, it is extremely important to teach the client about the neuro-biological and psychological processes that are maintaining their current state, and to learn what can be changed, and what needs to be accepted, and how to move on despite uncomfortable situations and feelings.

TREATMENT APPROACH
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on how one's thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected and can be changed. It is based on the idea that how we think (cognition) and how we feel (emotion) can influence how we behave. CBT helps people identify and challenge distorted thinking and replace it with more balanced thinking, leading to improved mood and behavior. ‘Homework’, usually containing practical writing exercises, is often completed by the client between sessions to reinforce the therapy. Examples of tools that practitioners often use are journaling, challenging beliefs, and mindfulness.
Play TherapyPlay therapy is an evidence-based, developmentally appropriate form of intervention used to facilitate emotional, cognitive, and social growth in children. Play therapy is based on the premise that play is the child's natural medium of self-expression and can be used to assess and help a child work through difficult emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. The goal of play therapy is to help children develop the skills and abilities to navigate life stressors, and build self-esteem. During treatment, the therapist creates a comfortable, safe environment (a playroom) for the child to play with as few limits as possible. The toys in the playroom are intended to encourage the child to express his or her feelings and develop healthier behaviors. The child’s “play” with these toys serve as the child’s symbolic words, which may be difficult to express otherwise.
