Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Florida

CBT is considered to be one of the god-standard treatments for chronic pain, insomnia, and working with people with chronic medical conditions. I am extensively trained in this approach and have been using it with my client's for years. I offer both CBT for chronic pain (CBT-CP), and CBT for insomnia (CBT-I). I also use CBT with clients who have chronic illness or cancer, when it feels appropriate. In addition to CBT, I offer another types of therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (which is similar to CBT, but also more focused on personal values)- I encourage you to message me to lean more about this approach or check out my website.

I focus on helping people with chronic pain and chronic illness to regain control over their lives. Chronic pain and illness can take a major toll on the whole person- mood, relationships, work, sleep- the list goes on and on. When it starts to feel like pain or illness are impacting all parts of your life, it can lead to depression, sadness, worry, and loneliness; talking with a therapist who understands both the emotional and physical parts can help. In addition to my work with chronic pain and chronic illness, I also work with people going through the process of cancer treatment and recovery, as well as people with insomnia. I am a Board Certified Clinical Health Psychologist with years of experience helping those with medical conditions AND I myself live with a a chronic illness. My personal connection to this work is what makes me passionate about helping others dealing with pain and illness to live a full, meaningful life even with physical challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach helps you see how your thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected. It teaches you to spot negative thoughts, challenge them, and replace them with healthier ones.

It’s practical, goal-oriented, and works well for issues like anxiety and depression.

My goal is to ensure every patient feels heard, understood, and cared for. Let's work together on your journey to better health.

The first session involves A LOT of questions! I want to learn all about you; why you are coming to therapy; what you enjoy about your life as well as what you want to change. By the end of the first session, together we develop goals you would like to accomplish in therapy. These goals will include thoughts, feelings, and maybe even physical experiences of anxiety and distress you want to change. CBT uses data from our thoughts and our behaviors to help identify what is working and what may not be working. Through identification of both positive and negative core beliefs, together we can begin to alter your experience of the world around you and change your response to increase healthy behaviors and decrease negative experiences (i.e. anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, irritability, etc).

Do you constantly worry? Do you overthink plans and solutions to worst-case outcomes so that you feel prepared? Does everything have to be done perfectly? Do you have difficulty handling uncertainty? Do you fear making the wrong decision? Do you feel restless? Difficulty with sleep? Do you move from relationship to relationship? Viktor Frankl said, “When we are no longer able to change a situation -we are challenged to change ourselves." He really knew what he was talking about. Each life transition inevitably forces us to navigate "stormy waters." If the challenge has become overwhelming, it's time to get some help. I specialize in helping those suffering from anxiety, including health care professionals and veterans. You don't have to continue suffering. You deserve to feel better. As a seasoned therapist, I can help you feel empowered to stop the cycle of worry and anxiety, find your sense of purpose, and reclaim your life. The good news is that we've all gone through seasons of our lives when we feel this way. The first step is to reach out to someone for help. My approach is straightforward: together we will identify your goals, establish a problem-solving treatment plan, and go from there. If something is telling you it's time to begin your journey; give me a call.
