I always start with a person-centered approach, but once I know you and your unique needs, I can help you improve your life through CBT, REBT, behavioral therapy, strength-based, and existential therapy.
My ideal client is the person who feels helpless and hopeless. The child or adult who is anxious and afraid they will never get better. I want to show them that there IS help and hope. They fear they won’t get better, but want to. They are willing to do whatever it takes to get better. Also those dealing with grief. I want to walk with them and guide them in their journey. They will always grieve, but it won’t always consume their lives. The teen girl who is anxious and has low self-esteem. She needs to learn her values and strengths. She will grow to love who she is and not be afraid to be her authentic self.

Life stressors can be overwhelming and life changing. And change is not always easy. Stress can be overwhelming and quickly take over our lives. Stress is often the start pointing of depression and anxiety. Stress makes it difficult to set boundaries, participate in self-care, communicate, and several other factors that drive our life forward. We often find ourselves with a deficit in more than one area of life. It is important to identify and process out the source of the stress be it physical health, trauma, spiritual, family, social, career, finances, or romantic relationships.

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.
