Existential therapy can settle mental health issues significantly and permanently.
We are thrown into life without any guide. Life asks much from us, takes much from us and gives much to us. Learning how to fundamentally hold your own in your own existence, live by your own desires, your own passions, is central to living a life that you find meaningful and develop relationships that are deep leading to an overall sense of happiness. I help clients accept reality as it is, to learn to be themselves and to enjoy being themselves. Internal harmony is essential to human happiness. In sessions, clients discover the totality of their personhood, come to appreciate being alive, to thrive rather than to simply survive.

Working with both adults and teens, I specialize in anxiety, burnout/ job stress, grief & loss, parent/child conflicts, relationship concerns, school-related problems, & existential/ spiritual concerns.
Our minds are incredible tools for experiencing life- and yet , the mind can so easily slip into anxiety and overthinking. Our memories can bring us joy and a sense of identity, but we can also get "stuck" in past patterns & hurts. Therapy is a unique type of relationship focused on your empowerment and growth. We'll work together to create awareness around those mental, emotional, and behavioral patterns. From here, we'll seek ways to implement positive, conscious changes, based on your personal values and desires.

I use cognitive-behavioral theory, solution-focused counseling theory, existential therapy, and mindfulness.
Everyone deserves someone in their life whom they can trust. You deserve to be heard, and to have someone in your life that is actually listening. My goal is to be that person for my clients.

By using cognitive-behavioral skills and mindfulness techniques, my goal is to expose my clients to the value of self-worth, the importance of nurturing one’s self-worth, and ultimately crafting a more optimistic version of one's self and their future.

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.
