Real Life Counseling is all about what the rules are for being a human being. These rules are the guidelines for playing the game we call life. Learning and discussing these univeral truths in therapy will provide you. I feel as a professional mental health counselor they form the foundation of how we can live a fulfilling and meaningful life. I also realize they are not magic, nor do they promise ten easy steps or a quick fix for emotional ailments. I offer this service in hope that my clients will learn, grow, and become aware of their potential for happiness.

There are few things in life that are certain. Of those few things, change is among the most difficult to cope with. As we encounter change our natural reaction can be to push back and become shut off to our environment. I would love to walk with you through the hardships of life and empower you to make the best choice.

I became a mental health counselor or therapist- whatever you prefer to call me- but a person who believes that there are times in all our lives when we could use someone to help us work through whatever issues/concerns/crisis/problems we are facing to help us to work through them and come out in a more positive place on the other side. I have worked as a Counselor for over 6 years, assisting clients with many issues including self-esteem, career problems, anxiety, depression, communication skills, decision-making, LGBQ related concerns, boundaries, burn-out, parenting, spiritual and existential questions, and relationships.

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.

The days tick on and you feel paralyzed by the enormity of the decisions coming your way. Your loved one has just been given a diagnosis and you're struggling to understand what that even means to your life. Trying to face the fact that this time next year they may not be here feels impossible. This illness has stolen pieces of you, stolen your loved one's identity. You feel lost in the sea of doctors, medical jargon, and referrals, struggling to keep your head above water. With no clear sense of direction, you turn inward and feel alone.

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.
