My therapeutic approach is eclectic using diverse modalities including humanistic/existential, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).
Self-actualization is the humanistic idea that we all move toward our highest potential. Easier said than done as most of us get stuck, face difficulties in life, or struggle with specific mental health issues. I am dedicated to integrative, goal-oriented counseling based on acceptance, compassion and deeper understanding of self in order to change limiting thoughts and behaviors, gain relief from suffering and move forward. The most important aspect of our work together is building a relationship based on trust and respect so that you can achieve the positive action YOU desire.

The right support can make such a difference when things are feeling overwhelming. While we’re each on our own journey, and we can go it alone, we don’t have to. For some that may mean I’m a skilled companion, helping them through transformational recovery from complex trauma. For others that may mean I help with managing anxiety and depression, support through life transitions, or a place to explore the profound transformational potential calling to us in existential crises and spiritual dilemmas. Currently I provide therapy, clinical supervision, case consultation and trainings.

I am a humanistic existential therapist.
Do want to want to live authentically with yourself and others? Has something happened that makes you question your core beliefs and values? My primary goal is to understand you as to want to be understood - without rigid diagnoses or other labels. We will work together to fully understand who you have been, who you are in the present, and who you aspire to be. We will also consider how your current beliefs may be based on long-held assumptions and are no longer your own. Ultimately, good therapy will free up your capacity to consider new choices that are more closely aligned with your own values and goals.

Counseling is a challenging avenue to pursue. Usually at moments of confusion, loss, even desperation. Having been in the field for over 20 years, I can admit I don't have 1 answer. However, having that amount of professional (and considerable personal) experience, I've accumulated quite a tool box. It may not guide you to immediate enlightenment, but it will help with the journey. I hope to hear from 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.
