Waitlist for new clients
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 traumas that led then to where they are and what if anything they want to change going forward.

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.

Many times life can be so overwhelming that breathing seems to become a challenge and feeling your heart will burst the new norm. Other times, your thoughts and feelings become so unbearably heavy and painful, completing daily mundane tasks become monumental challenges. Then the feelings of guilt and hopelessness invade you accompanied with their friends, Negative Thoughts. They become intrusive, setting up camp in your mind, and drowning you with sadness, anger, frustration, dread, helplessness, worry or any combination of these. These thoughts and feelings are real and sometimes even visceral, yet they don't have to paralyze you.

I work with those who are seeking support and understanding, while overcoming the adversities that we often encounter during our lives. Regardless of how difficult these obstacles can be, it is important to remember that there is a way to grow through the unpleasant situations we go through. We often times cannot avoid these things but often times the best kind of self-growth often comes through getting our hands dirty so to speak. It may not always be the easier path but it is certainly more often than not the most rewarding path.

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.
