Teens and young adults trying to find their way in the world are under great pressure these days. I specialize in the transition from the last few years of high school to whatever comes next, and post-college transitions. Those on a creative path may also resonate with my approach. I work with adults in life transitions, anyone struggling with relationships, uncertain of the rules for healthy versus unhealthy dynamics, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, or existential issues. You may feel alienated, unmotivated, or have uncertain goals. Your thought patterns might seem circular, overly critical, or just unhelpful.

I am passionate about helping couples, adults, and teens overcome anxiety, depression, life transitions, school challenges, OCD, trauma, and sobriety / recovery. I want you to be your unapologetic self and we'll start with your goals and hopes for therapy. Then we'll try approaches like mindfulness, combating negative thoughts and beliefs, interpersonal effectiveness, and existential therapy to understand your patterns, accept the things we cannot change, use your strengths, and grow in the ways you want to grow. I work with couples and co-parents too. See if I'm accepting new clients and book online at www.resolutioncc.com/team

We all have the power to change our lives for the better. Whether we want to break a bad habit, leave a dead-end job, repair a damaged relationship, or resolve a troubling issue, I believe we have the power to do so. The first step is to simply accept ourselves where we are. Once we do that, we can more easily identify the things that are holding us back from being our best selves, and having the life we want. Let's get started!

Change and well being are possible. Relationships and circumstances of life often present challenges that overwhelm us mentally, emotionally, and physically. As a result we develop blocks in our thinking, feelings, and develop physical symptoms that cause distress and prevent us from functioning at an optimal level. I am dedicated to understanding your unique experiences and history. Together we develop a plan creating a well balanced integration between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Development of trust and the practice of mindful awareness enables self reflection, clarity of perspective and compassionate understanding of your history as it impacts present day choices.

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.
