My style of therapy involves the provision of a safe, nurturing, warm and professional environment in which to help people explore and gain insight into their behaviors and problems. Every person who enters my office is treated as a unique individual and I work together with that person to gently approach the most difficult or painful subjects and to gain mastery over them.

It is rare to find a clinician well-trained and at home
in both psychoanalysis and
cognitive -behavioral technique
and existential approaches.
I combine my advanced training in
psychodynamically -oriented psychotherapy with practical cognitive
behavioral approaches. I utilize these
methods to provide compassionate
and competent treatment for
anxiety, panic and phobic disorders
as well as PTSD.
My belief is that authentic psychotherapy
is about the activation of hope, the strengthening of the

If I had to Identify myself in terms of theoretical leaning, I would say that I am an Existential Humanist.
In my personal and professional experience a person comes to therapy when they find that their beliefs/operating systems are no longer working for them; that the very tools that they have been employing to protect themselves are now preventing them from having and experiencing the things that they want the most. Entering therapy is a courageous step that is prompted by the inner warrior. It is a step and a process that demands energy and perseverance. If and when you are feeling ready to take this step, give me a call and we can determine whether or not we are a fit. I think that you will find me to be a valuable co-explorer.

My ideal client is trying to understand not only the root causes that created a less than optimal life functioning emotionally, socially, occupationally, academically, or intrafamilially, but the actual cognitive behavioral steps to remedy the problem. I believe most problems we encounter in our everyday lives can be improved upon and transformed into a life we have chosen.

Are you or your child consumed with worry, fear, nervousness or anxiety? Many people struggle with these feelings constantly. Anxiety can be debilitating and keep us from living our lives fully. Anxiety makes it hard to focus, be excited or live in the moment. In particular, struggling with specific fears or phobias (fear of flying, fear of dogs, etc.) narrows one's world, as they avoid social and other activities. I am here to help you or your child overcome these fears and live a full and meaningful life.

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.
