Cognitive behavioral therapy blended with Transformational Mindset Work
Shifting the thoughts that shape your reality — while addressing the deeper beliefs that hold them in place.
Many of the clients I work with are highly self-aware. You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, maybe even done therapy before. You know the “right” coping skills. You can name your triggers. And yet… the same emotional patterns keep repeating.
You still wake up at 3 a.m. replaying conversations, mistakes, or “what ifs.”
A part of you understands you’re safe, but your body and thoughts don’t fully believe it.
You’ve outgrown old behaviors but feel stuck between the life you have and the one you sense is possible.
This is where a blended approach of CBT and transformational mindset work can create meaningful, lasting shifts.
How I Use CBT in My Practice
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, evidence-based approach that helps you:
Identify distorted thought patterns
Recognize the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors
Develop healthier ways of responding to stress and triggers
Build skills for managing anxiety, depression, and overwhelm in daily life
For clients with busy minds, CBT can feel grounding — it gives your thinking brain something clear, structured, and empowering to work with. It’s especially useful for moments when anxiety feels overwhelming, or when negative thought loops seem to run on autopilot.
But traditional CBT has its limits. Many clients tell me, “I can challenge my thoughts all day, but something deeper still pulls me back into the same emotional loop.”
That “something deeper” often lives beneath conscious awareness — in the core beliefs, identities, and unexamined assumptions that shape how you experience the world.
Beyond Thoughts: Addressing Core Beliefs and Identity
In addition to CBT, I weave in transformational mindset work rooted in two key principles:
Your life is shaped not just by your thoughts, but by the unconscious assumptions you’ve inherited and internalized.
These assumptions often come from early life experiences, cultural messaging, or moments when your nervous system made sense of the world in order to stay safe. They become “invisible scripts” that quietly dictate how you interpret reality.Suffering often arises when we live from old identities that no longer fit who we’re becoming.
Anxiety, burnout, and depression frequently signal that you’re outgrowing a way of seeing yourself — but haven’t yet stepped into a new way of being.
This work involves gently bringing those hidden beliefs and identities to the surface, not to analyze them endlessly, but to see them clearly — and through that awareness, to create a new context for your life.
For example:
A thought like “I’ll mess this up” may be tied to a deeper identity of “I’m someone who has to prove my worth to be safe.”
A chronic fear of rejection may stem from an early assumption that “love is conditional.”
Overachievement may mask a deeper belief that “rest equals failure.”
When these deeper beliefs become conscious, they lose their grip. From there, CBT techniques become more powerful and precise because they’re no longer layered on top of outdated narratives.
Why This Matters for You
For high-functioning adults, anxiety and stress often don’t come from not knowing enough — they come from living in invisible mental frameworks that no longer align with your current reality.
By blending CBT with this deeper mindset work, you can:
Calm anxious thoughts while also understanding why they exist
Stop “managing” patterns and begin to dissolve their roots
Step out of survival identities and into a more authentic sense of self
Experience a real shift in how you think, feel, and relate to the world
This isn’t about quick fixes or affirmations. It’s about creating lasting mental and emotional freedom by seeing clearly what has been hidden — and choosing consciously how you want to live.
In Practice
In our work together, I’ll guide you to:
Identify recurring thought loops and core limiting beliefs
Use CBT tools to challenge distortions and create new patterns
Explore the hidden assumptions that shaped those beliefs
Gently question those assumptions through experiential inquiry
Practice living from a new, freer internal framework
This process is structured yet deeply personal, and always attuned to your pace and nervous system. For clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or major life transitions, this combination often feels like the missing link between insight and transformation.
