In life we frequently encounter obstacles between where we are and what we want to achieve. These obstacles can manifest in the form of depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, or unresolved trauma. Gaining a better understanding of who we are is an important step in creating a sense of personal fulfillment in all aspects of our lives. I work with individuals to gain insight into the influence of not only past events, but also current patterns of beliefs, with a goal of reconciling past hurts, healing past trauma, and breaking the cycle of unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and reactions.

I utilize Coginitive-Behavioral Therapy, but can also bring in elements of Christian (as well as other faith-based) techniques, Humanistic and Existential therapy when needed or requested.
The relationship between a counselor and client is unique. I am a trained therapist who uses modern, evidenced based, therapeutic strategies and techniques and who is also outside of your daily life and social circles. My role is to listen to better understand you, to empathize with you without prejudice and judgment, validate your feelings (because how we feel is how we feel) and to help you develop strategies for overcoming life's obstacles. You cannot offend me in a therapeutic session and you can speak freely and openly about anything you think or feel, being free to express yourself.

Growth is not linear and change can be difficult, especially if we are trying to do it on our own. Feeling disconnected from ourselves and others can be the first step of change to living a life that feels true to you. On the journey of self-discovery, we often need another perspective in order to change our reality; therapy can be a way to get there. Therapy is a tool that can be used to help you find your most authentic self and live life unapologetically. In finding what works for you we will develop new skills that will contribute to your ideal life. I would be happy to assist you in creating a life that is authentic to 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.
