I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, addiction, recovery management, sex addiction, codependency/intimacy disorders, grief/loss, relationship and sexuality problems, and existential issues of purpose, passion, and identity.
Just as you would gather tools, skills, and a plan before going into the unknown wilderness so should you before exploring your own internal wilderness. The desire to discover our internal parts and heal from trauma, overcome daily obstacles, reconnect with passion and purpose, and uncover hidden strengths can be as daunting as it is exciting. But where to begin? Together we can safely navigate and face any issue instead of avoiding, ignoring, or numbing them. Through multifaceted compassionate and direct therapy we’ll develop the tools, skills, and internal map to connect you to your true self and help you live more authentically.

Play, existential, interpersonal therapy - all grounded in a trauma-informed approach - can help to address painful interpersonal cycles and the impacts of traumatic experiences at their root.
Whether you find yourself in life transition, impacted by personal or communal violence or other traumatic events, or otherwise feel frozen or stuck, therapy may support you in building awareness and skills to move through what you're facing. You may experience doubt in aspects of yourself you're unfamiliar with, fear of known or unknown stress-inducing circumstances, or the physical and emotional impacts of violence or pain you've seen or experienced. In each case, finding space where you can name what is painful to name is often the first step in that movement through it.

My therapy style blends contemplative and existential approaches with evidenced-based modalities (such as DBT and CBT).
I work with those who believe that relationships (with ourselves, others, and our environments) are what make life meaningful. If you’re struggling to feel fulfilled or consistent, I can provide support while we work to identify and address the contributing issues. I have a special interest in the intersection between ADHD and self-esteem issues, but I work with individuals, couples, and families around a variety of issues. Whether your priority is to facilitate concrete changes, or to simply feel seen and understood, therapy with me will be centered around you and your unique needs and preferences.

At the risk of sounding very cheesy, you deserve to feel ALIVE and live a life worth living-whatever that looks like for you.

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.
