I encourage my clients to openly talk about their feelings while constructively working toward greater closeness and intimacy with their loved ones. I believe that the quality of the relationship between therapist and client(s) is the foundation for gratifying therapeutic growth and change.

I naturally take a humanistic approach to my work with clients, but I consider myself to be eclectic and adaptable, pulling something from many different therapeutic approaches (Person-Centered, Existential, and CBT).
Sometimes we feel like we are falling out of balance in our lives. This lack of balance can come from any aspect of our life (the past, the future, our inner world, our vices, our relationships with others, our work) and it can heavily impact how we feel about our lives. Your goals may seem out of reach, stress might be weighing on your shoulders, or you may not know what needs you are looking to fulfill yet. Whatever the case may be, I will do my best to help you overcome struggles, offer meaningful guidance, and be a strong source of support as we work through the therapeutic process together.

I use a client centered, humanist/ existential style to explore current distress while integrating behavioral interventions (TF-CBT, DBT) and classic insight oriented exploration.
Life is difficult. Unless you are an old soul, choices surrounding identity, self worth and acceptance, relationships/finding connection, and career choice are often painful and confusing. Even in the best of circumstances and family support, we are left with well meaning advice and our own limited self-understanding to guide choices that will affect the next season of life. I have over a decade of experience in residential and college counseling settings helping clients to explore their past to understand the motivations and injuries that led to where they are and what if anything they want to change going forward.

I tend to rely on existential, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral approaches, depending on the needs of the client.
I believe people have an incredible potential for strength, although at times the right kind of support is needed to tap into that potential. Life will inevitably have all sorts of challenges, and as such I offer assistance in navigating those more difficult moments. My approach emphasizes a constructive collaboration between therapist and client, in which we will together establish and find ways to reach personal milestones, while exploring your core beliefs. Conversations will be largely purposed to increase insight, coping, and a sense of empowerment by being in touch with one's own values.

Therapy Models practiced are: Person-Centered Approach, Existential Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) Mindfulness and 12 Step work.
I have vast individual psychotherapy experience working with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addictions, anger management, stress management, goal setting, trauma and life transitions. A quote from Buddhist scholar that I love is by B. Alan Wallace, he states, "We're living in a world that contributes in a major way to mental fragmentation, disintegration, distraction and incoherence". With being trained in Wellness, Burnout Prevention & Mindfulness Strategies, I believes that a willingness to experience psychological events (thoughts, feelings, memories) without having to avoid them or let them unduly influence behavior is to obtain true psychological acceptance.

By applying concepts/strategies of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Existential therapy client's can reconstruct perceptions about themselves and their lives.
People are at times dissatisfied with their lives and struggle with symptoms of depression and anxiety, or engage in behaviors that are counterproductive to their personal fulfillment. They may grapple with issues that interfere with meaningful interpersonal relationships or feel emotionally compromised by events from their past. As a result, client's seek to discover insight and effective coping strategies that lead to personal growth and a greater sense of emotional, cognitive, and behavioral control.

I believe all of the struggles people face come down to existential issues and the desire to lead a more fulfilling and happy life. I believe people have what it takes to free themselves from their struggles within. A therapist should be someone who can help remove the obstacles that block self-fulfillment. I believe therapy is an excellent path to self-actualization.

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.
