I also like to draw on Existential Psychology and Jungian theory, especially when focusing on big life questions, transitions, dreams, and the narratives we live by.
Ever feel run down from taking care of others? Tired to the point of exhaustion but afraid or unable to stop? Unsure how you ended up where you are but sure you don't want to be there anymore? It's an easy place to find ourselves. What isn't easy is getting out of it. I can help. For over 20 years I've been providing a confidential, nurturing environment that in which people can safely figure out who they are and what they’re about. Working together, we explore life’s questions, challenges and opportunities, as well as the stories we're living by and the ones we want to live by.

Waitlist for new clients
I provide art therapy services rooted in a holistic approach for individuals looking to experience a sense of wholeness. A new opportunity is available for outdoor walk & talk therapy, gardening, and more interactive approaches on an educational farm in Coopersburg! This lets us incorporate nature as a mirror to work with as we learn to love and connect to the natural parts of ourselves. The art process works in a similar way and is a great technique to express our feelings deeper. You do not need to be an artist to benefit from art therapy. I work with ALL ages and customize my techniques to be relevant to what season you are in.

Existential Therapists
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 behavioral 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.
