I work from a skills based perspective using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt and Existential Therapy.
I believe in supporting my clients through all of life’s real and perceived challenges. Everyone needs someone to talk to- someone to help process through emotions, thoughts, experiences and events. A life worth living looks different from one person to the next and I enjoy helping people navigate this discovery. I help clients look at where they are, where they truly desire to be, and help search their soul to determine what they are willing to do to achieve their life worth living.

I DO The main reasons I started in the field of mental health are based on my experiences growing up and throughout my life. My brother has schizophrenia, which was diagnosed when he was about 19 y/o. I’m nine years younger, so I just thought he was strange. However, when I learned it was a mental illness, I realized there was a career that specialized in helping people like my brother and their families. The other major reason is I have experienced depression and anxiety off-and-on for much of my life. I struggled with it for a long time, still do at times, but have learned many ways of managing my emotions and ways

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.
