If you or someone you love identifies as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) or neuro-divergent then I am happy we found each other! As a previous nurse assistant, teacher (toddler-12th grade) and childcare director, I have spent over a decade immersed in hands-on research to better study effective evidence based approaches for treating children and their support systems. I use these approaches eclectically to help clients and their families with sensory regulation, behavioral issues, and counsel the client's entire support system to bring balance.

In this increasingly complex world in which we live, taking responsibility for our thoughts, actions, and interactions with others can be challenging. The ability to understand and "own" our choices can reveal the possibilities for making necessary and desired changes in our lives. I can help you understand and recognize those choices. We will take a look at all the factors that have influenced your life experiences to this point. Working together, we can set goals, develop strategies for changing negative thought patterns, and implement new behavioral skills, all within a Christian faith-based context.

Providing a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic environment allows my clients to begin exploring the life challenges they are facing. Life can be hard and often very lonely.

Living life on Life's terms can be rather difficult, hence the importance of coping skills and balance. I have a passion for helping others realize they have the ability to "make it", even when the odds appear to be against them. As people we are our biggest critic, once we give ourselves the opportunity to succeed, we are on our way to a better situation. Let me help you put the pieces back together one piece at a time. Living in the moment gives us the balance we need to be happy as we survive in our ever-changing life.

I believe clients are their own expert, and that with my guidance they can explore and challenge their own deeply imbedded inner core beliefs, and re-engineer them. Learning and speaking the client's language is tantamount to helping someone move forward towards a positive change. Clients begin to understand themselves better, and this allows the transition. I also believe that fear is one of the most debilitating emotions that we can have. It stops us dead in our tracks. We need to attack the fear, but first understand its roots. I like to be known as my client's "life coach!"

As a therapist, I firmly believe that we all hold the answers to our lives within ourselves. My job is to help you shine a light on your own answers, authentically and without judgement. I cannot tell you how to "fix" yourself (you aren't broken!), nor am I going to tell you what your goals "should" be or how you "should" live your life. I want to help you cut through the noise of others and help you discover who YOU are, and help you see how AMAZING you are! If you've ever been told pieces of you are "unacceptable", I can help you challenge those thoughts and become more fully yourself.

It is universally human to want to feel heard, worthy, and cared about. Your story and your path towards healing matters. Whether you’re struggling with past trauma, depression, and/or anxiety, you deserve a clinician who will hear your perspective empathetically in a judgment-free environment.

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.
