Richmond, VA 23227
My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in my past training in Gestalt and humanistic-existential therapies. I assume that each person has the potential to achieve satisfaction and fulfillment in his or her life. I believe that we each have a tremendous capacity for self-awareness and self-healing. Although a diagnosis can sometimes be useful to a person seeking help, the richness and breadth of a person's life experience cannot be captured in a diagnosis. Each individual's story is unique and his or her strengths and resilience must be appreciated and incorporated into treatment.

The fact is, our world is changing rapidly. And what you have noticed is that you are changing too. Your mind, body, and spirit are transforming right before your very eyes. You may feel sad, lonely, or even anxious. You have lost your zeal for life. A loss of sleep, appetite, and interest in or enjoyment of your daily activities. Although this is not what you are nor who you strive to be, the question remains, where do I go to get help? You desire to reclaim your life, believe once again, emerge from that dark place, and heal your soul. Well, look no further, I'm here to walk with you and help you navigate this journey called life.

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.
