I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past five years. It’s helped dozens of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.

This therapy encourages individuals to develop a kind, nurturing, and non-judgmental attitude toward themselves and others, promoting emotional healing and resilience. Through a combination of mindfulness, imagery exercises, and cognitive techniques, CFT helps clients reframe negative self-judgments, manage difficult emotions, and reduce self-criticism. The ultimate goal is to create a compassionate inner environment, improving mental well-being and fostering healthier interpersonal relationships.
