I also apply Logotherapy and Existential approaches to help people find meaning and purpose in their lives.
I want to work with anyone looking to feel better. I enjoy helping others find relief from anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and other symptoms or mental health conditions. I help clients find and address what is preventing their ability to function, grow, thrive, or just relax! I also enjoy helping people discover more about themselves and reconnect with their sense of meaning or purpose in life. Therapy takes effort and commitment and, in exchange, provides freedom from suffering. I would love to help you discover the gift I believe therapy can give to you.

My focus is to help individuals regain hope that their lives can improve and that they have the potential to be instrumental in this process. With therapy, individuals learn to identify detrimental patterns in their own behavior, thought processes and interactions. When one can step back from oneself in a safe and therapeutic space, perspective, change, and acceptance follows.Anthony Storr puts it beautifully: " Putting things into words has another function, It is the means whereby we detach ourselves from the world about us and from the inner world of our own emotions and thoughts".

Waitlist for new clients
In my 30+ years of experience as a therapist, clinical supervisor, researcher, educator and writer on complex trauma, I have come to believe that we are shaped as much by the good things that went missing from our lives as the bad things that happened to us. My clients have often endured severe abuse, neglect, oppression, and other forms of life adversity. They have learned to cope and survive in ways that get misunderstood and misdiagnosed, and that can cause profound stigma, shame and social rejection. Their courage and resilience inspires awe. Finding a therapist who can see and accept all parts of them is one key to recovery.

Welcome to my practice. I provide compassionate, respectful therapy for individuals, couples, and families. Using strength based approaches, art and expressive therapies and a post modern framework we will work together to think about what challenges you, and what inner strengths you possess to overcome obstacles in order to reach your fullest potential. Today's modern world is complicated, and often difficult to navigate. We will explore possibilities that will enable you to think more creatively about solutions to difficult problems, allowing you to live more fully, more in the present and with greater joy and fulfillment.

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.
