Drawing from theories including behavioral, emotional, and cognitive, as well as the wisdom of mindfulness, I use Narrative, Attachment-Based, and Existential approaches.
The road to inner freedom begins with the decision to not walk alone. Inviting the right support helps you gain insights to reach your goals and destiny. You may be dealing with past trauma, depression, anxiety, or low self-esteem, or looking to find a life-partner, preparing for marriage, or seeking to enrich existing relationships. Whatever your path, I invite you to reach out and let me walk with you. Meet me at my office, or from the comfort of your home via video counseling.

Asking for help is not easy. By now, you've tried to do it on your own, and it's been harder than you expected. You may be reading this because your life hasn't turned out the way you hoped. Perhaps you feel unsatisfied with your personal relationships or your professional life. Many factors can influence how we feel, like not having enough time for yourself, being the caretaker of others or having your own health issues, and job or relationship dissatisfaction, to name a few.

What you do is never quite enough, is it? There’s no magical phrase that really transmits to others your full context and your deeper intentions. Maybe a good bit of anger, frustration and/or anxiety shows up because, well, how could it not…but of course this puts you at a disadvantage because you’re not clear headed anymore. If I asked, "What do you want?" Would you be able to tell me? Not what you want of others, but what you want of yourself. The hope is to regain and strengthen your sense of self with as little collateral damage as possible. What would that look like?

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.
