Waitlist for new clients
I am skilled in talk-modalities like CBT, DBT, EFT, narrative, existential, solution-focused brief therapy, and spiritually-integrated psychotherapy, which also can help clients.
If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance that you or someone you love is suffering in some way. But the good news is that things will get better, and I hope to help you (or them) get to better times. I work with adults, young adults, youth, and children, and have done so for the past decade (and it’s been the best decade of my life so far). The challenges we work on include depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, coping with life changes, and many more. If you or someone you love could use a friendly ear and a helping hand, you may find the therapy modalities I am trained in helpful.

Whether you’re navigating life transitions, seeking parenting support, dealing with interpersonal challenges, or exploring existential questions, I’m here to tailor my approach to your needs.
I see therapy as a collaborative journey where we are both students and teachers. My clients have taught me the power of uniqueness and individuality in healing. No one-size-fits-all here! I emphasize that clients are the experts of their own stories, and my role is to walk alongside them, offering support, guidance, and empowerment. Clients I’ve worked with share stories of finding direction, momentum, and meaning in their situations. Together, we build meaningful relationships, explore the mind-body-emotion connection, and foster a sense of hope and freedom to be your true and authentic self.

I am interested in Existential and Buddhist philosophy and I have an innate curiosity about the ups and downs of life and what bring each of us meaning.
I am deeply committed to helping clients not only feel supported and understood, but also find better ways to manage and overcome anxiety, depression, self-worth, and relationship issues. Having spent a great deal of time discovering my own personal values and meaning in life, I work to help clients connect with their true selves and navigate existential concerns. It is through my own personal journey with overcoming self-doubt, low confidence, and anxiety that I am drawn to the practice of psychotherapy. I understand how draining and consuming it can be when we get caught up in our problematic thoughts and feelings.

Existential Counsellors

How does existential therapy work?

Existential therapy focuses on a patient’s inner experiences. The therapist tries to help the individual comprehend and alleviate symptoms by exploring their interior life. By confronting negative disquiet and emotions, the individual will hopefully become more open to finding meaning and purpose. This therapy can be administered to individuals or groups.

Is existential therapy evidence-based?

Existential therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has determined that existential therapy can lead to significant improvement in the mental health of patients, and for some people it can be just as effective as cognitive behavioural therapy. The benefits of existential therapy are enduring, even long after treatment has ended.

How long does existential therapy last?

The goal of existential therapy is to understand a person’s internal experiences, which may sound like a lengthy process, but it does not have to be so in-depth. However, sessions are not short-term, and therapy can continue for months or up to a year. And because patients learn the theory behind existential therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.

Is existential therapy effective?

According to research, many patients find success with existential therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in improving feelings of isolation, feelings of purposelessness, as well as conditions such as anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can persist even after the end of existential therapy, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve developed during treatment.
