My approach to psychotherapy is trauma-informed, existential, experiential, and integrative, and I strive to build a healing relationship with clients based on trust, communication, support, and occasional challenge.

I strive to assist clients in developing further insight into their own emotional states and thoughts and taking committed action in their lives to improve well-being and fulfillment. I consider psychotherapy my craft and was trained in a small doctoral program at Penn State focused on interpersonal process.

Your relationships just don’t feel like they once did, you often feel like you don’t belong at work or with your friends. You just don’t know what to do to feel better. We’ve all been through dark periods in our lives, but the question is how do we dig ourselves out? Change is scary and difficult, but with my help it’s possible.

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.
