I prefer a philosophical stance and use evidenced based practices as well, including, but not limited to CBT, person centered, integrative mental health, and existential therapy; and being certified in tech addiction.
Having worked in community mental health, I have worked with all ages over the years. I have worked with young kids who may struggle to sit and follow instructions, struggle with defiance, or physical aggression. I have worked with teenagers who are trying to learn to be independent, struggling with peer interactions, anger, defiance, or just need a non-judgmental listening ear. I have worked with young adults who are lost about where they go next or are struggling with the new responsibilities of adulthood. I have worked with older adults who are now looking back on life and moving forward with new responsibilities and beyond.

I strive to guide clients toward empowerment by helping you clarify your core values, gain insight into your life, and discover meaning that resonates deeply with you. People with good mental health tend to have a strong sense of purpose and a clear understanding of who they are and what is important to them. Emotions focus our attention and cause us to address situations in our world. Each of us is a fully integrated being with mind and body in constant reciprocal communication, and this is why somatic (body) techniques can be calming to the mind.

If you are neurodivergent (Autistic, ADHD, OCD, etc.), or gender diverse (transgender, non-binary, gender-queer, etc.), LGBTQIA+, relationship diverse (polyamory, non-monogamus, etc.), people of marginalized communities (non-white, PoC, multicultured, etc.) look no further. I believe in humanity and the human experience, and understand existing in a world that is not open to diversity and accpetance and how this leads to mental health overload. I will honor your unique culture or experience and provide you with ethical therapeutic treatment that meets your needs and culture.

I am not a "normal" person, which means my therapy style is not "normal". There's laughing, joking, getting to the root of the problem, more laughing, crying, baby yoda gets involved, homework assigned that you won't do four times in a row, then you'll do the homework, healing will take place and you'll say "I feel amazing" and I'll say "Right?" So Contact me because therapy and healing doesn't need to be awkward, scary or ultra serious.

Have you ever felt lost in the maze of life's big questions? Like you're searching for something but can't quite grasp it? And then, there are those moments when life feels colorless, leaving us wondering if we've somehow missed out on the joy that others seem to find. In therapy, I strive to create a space where you can navigate these feelings and reconnect with your inner strength and intuition. It's a place to explore those moments of feeling lost or overwhelmed and learn to trust your instincts once again.

Life can be full of light, and sometimes equally as much dark. Managing in the dark can be challenging, scary, lonely, and uncertain. Exploring, learning, and developing the tools necessary to bring a little light of your own into that darkness can be so important as you venture down the path. With time, commitment, and some creativity, there is light at then end of the tunnel.

I believe services related to mental health should be as normal and attainable as those related to physical health. Science, with a personal and creative flair, should drive these services. I completed a MSW, with a concentration in mental health, from Washington University in St. Louis. During this time I was able to specialize my education and training experience to best fit the role of a mental health therapist. I am able to work with individuals ranging from five years and up, and can address most mental health needs by utilizing a variety of practice models. The role of trauma and traumatic stress is a special area of practice.

Seems like the world has gone a little crazy lately, right? Have you been feeling on edge, irritable, anxious, or hopeless? Maybe you worry that you can't be yourself because it might make you a target, or maybe you think that there is more bad than good around here. At times like this, I think it's more important than ever to have someone trustworthy to talk to. I may be biased, but there is a pretty good chance you'll find me to be a listening ear who is judgment and agenda free, who wants nothing more than to see you succeed in your goals.

I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment so that personal exploration, reflection, growth, and positive changes can occur.

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.
