I'm often asked, what made you decide to become a therapist? I know the pain people have, I've lived it too. Often life presents us with challenging situations. It is our perception of these transitions and life altering occurrences that pave the road to self-discovery and release our fullest potential. I believe we all have an innate capacity to heal and grow. As a psychotherapist I enjoy working with clients that are motivated and willing to build a more balanced, meaningful, and rewarding life.

Are you frequently experiencing stress, anxiety, irritability, or sadness? Are significant life changes leaving you overwhelmed and uneasy? Embracing vulnerability is a challenging endeavor. It often seems easier to bury our emotions and avoid addressing them altogether, believing that by doing so, we can protect ourselves from pain. However, it frequently leads to more profound and persistent emotional and relational issues that persistently resurface in your life. It's crucial to recognize that healing begins with allowing ourselves to feel, even if it's uncomfortable or painful.

You’re successful & smart, but your relationships are EPIC failures. The harder you look for happiness, the farther it slips away. Why is this so easy for others but SO hard for you? Your inner critic whispers your deepest fears: the past left you too damaged & unlovable. After years of repeating patterns, it’s time to stop your past from defining the present and stealing your future. You're ready to end the cycle of toxic relationships, have supportive friendships, & a loving partner. Instead of dreading it, coping effectively with family conflict would be great. Getting you there is my specialty.

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.
