In addition, I have special training in working with spiritual and existential issues including questions about meaning, religion, and the development of deeper spiritual life.
Currently accepting new clients. Hello! I appreciate how vulnerable a person can feel in therapy. I believe that the relationship between therapist and client can be very deep and powerful, and so I work to provide a therapeutic space in which my clients feel truly seen, deeply respected, and understood in their complexities. I have worked with people from a wide range of backgrounds with a wide variety of concerns, including relationship issues, family issues, chronic pain, and general stress. I have particular experience and expertise in working with immigrants, children of immigrants, and religious and ethnic minorities.

I also apply Logotherapy and Existential approaches to help people find meaning and purpose in their lives.
I want to help anyone looking to feel better. I enjoy helping others find relief from anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and other symptoms or mental health conditions. I help clients find and address what is preventing their ability to function, grow, thrive, or just relax! I also enjoy helping people discover more about themselves and reconnect with their sense of meaning or purpose in life. Therapy takes effort and commitment and, in exchange, provides freedom from suffering. I would love to help you discover the gift I believe therapy can give to you.

My practice incorporates contemporary psychodynamics, trauma-informed methods, and existential philosophy to create a space for deep self knowledge and reflection.
I am a relational therapist who specializes in working with motivated adults who are interested in finding more success in their relationships to themselves, others, and the world around them. I help my clients learn how to cope with symptoms that are getting in the way of being more authentically them, this includes depression, anxiety, and trauma. There's many reasons why we reach out for help; maybe you're interested in gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, or wondering how to move on from an unbearable heartbreak. Therapy is a truly collaborative effort and I hope we can create a space for reflection and forward direction.

If you are feeling like you are ready to start therapy, I invite you to reach out to me today! I use an existential therapy approach that allows you to become the person you want to be.
Counseling gives you an opportunity to manifest the life you deserve. It can be difficult to see beyond the behaviors and patterns holding you back when you’re stuck in unproductive cycles. In therapy, you can begin the process of healing so that you can effectively open yourself up to the right kind of relationships that will meet your needs. Throughout counseling, I will gently challenge you to dig deeper into your history and past wounds so that you can begin to see where certain obstacles originated. By untangling some of these elements, you can clarify what you want and need out of life. I am here to help you through this.

My theoretical orientation is informed by neuropsychological, existential, feminist, and learning theories.
I view therapy as an active process on the part of the client and the therapist, set within the context of a relationship built on trust, vulnerability, and curiosity. My clients may be seeking to develop greater personal agency and authenticity in their lives. They may want to clarify their values and life direction or better understand and manage their emotional lives, resolve self-defeating behavior patterns, or foster meaningful relationships. I often work with clients who are living their lives in environments which demand consistent excellence in performance and who may, as a result, have distinct needs and challenges.

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.
