Therapists in 02481
Life is hard, and we're all in this together. I know, it’s a little cliche, but cliches exist for a reason! The approach I bring to my work is one of compassionate curiosity in which we work together to develop a therapy that works for you. Therapy is only as effective as the strength and authenticity of the relationship you develop with your counselor. I incorporate elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness and existential therapy, but largely rely on the development of our relationship to inform our work. These are stressful times and I strive to be a fellow traveler as we move forward.

Our lives consist of welcome routines and happy memories, turning points and challenges. Sometimes it is painfully difficult. Perhaps you have experienced the loss of a dream or a loved one, or been unable to move past a traumatic event. Maybe life feels like a daily rut, void of meaning or joy. Even in the company of people who care about us we can feel alone, sad or overwhelmed. The good news is we can find connection, experience change and move through pain and struggle to a place of greater freedom and happiness.

With a warm, down-to-earth, supportive, and engaged style, I help clients work through challenges such as depression, anxiety, OCD, relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief, academic and career concerns, and creative blocks. Whether we are working to help you more fully understand yourself; reflecting on patterns that may be getting in your way; processing painful feelings or memories; identifying sources of meaning, purpose, and strength in your life; or exploring aspects of your identity, my goal is for you to feel understood and accepted, and that our time together will make a meaningful difference in your life.

Looking for a therapist can be overwhelming, especially when you really need help. If only life would stop coming at you for 5 minutes so you could catch your breath. Come see me and get some relief. I have been a therapist for 21 years. What is important to you is important to me. Each session is tailored to your needs. Sometimes you may want more structure, feedback/guidance. Sometimes you might just need someone to listen, to witness your pain, and know you were heard. That is how I see my role: to be a human being sitting with another human being offering emotional help, support, & insights. You're not going through this alone.

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.
