I practice from an existential-phenomenological lens, which emphasizes that all individuals have the freedom to interpret their existence. My approach, a practice of 'care for the self,' focuses on the true essence of human existence. As a clinician, I am dedicated to empowering individuals to reclaim meaning and purpose in their lives, to live with intention, and to confront the unknown with courage. I actively encourage individuals to use their capacity to make choices, thereby maximizing their existence and imagining a more meaningful life.

You don't remember a time when you didn't feel "other". You feel shame, anxiety, on edge, constantly unsure.

My clients seek relief from anxiety, grief, burnout, and identity struggles. Many are queer, creative, neurodivergent, or nonconforming—navigating a world that often misunderstands them. They long for emotional grounding, clarity in their self-concept, and a sense of belonging. Some carry existential weight—grappling with purpose, relational ruptures, or the grief of living in a collapsing world. Together, we create space for healing, insight, and transformation.

We believe that psychological well-being and healing come from our ability to foster awareness, understanding, and acceptance of our experience of life as a whole. Talking with a therapist can help facilitate this kind of personal growth.

Marriage Counseling Therapists
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
