Existential Therapists in Canyon Lake, TX

If you struggle to get through your day, burdened by anxious thoughts and feelings of emptiness and futility, you're in good company. Feelings of low self-worth, loss of identity, lack of purpose, disconnection in relationships, or existential/spiritual angst can have many different origins in our past experiences. These emotions force us to come face to face with life's most difficult questions every day. If you're tired of living in your own head, I want to help you sort through your own thoughts and feelings to find those answers and move forward.

I have been a therapist since 2001, and I truly love what I do. My hope for you is that you will find a safe and comfortable environment in my office, where you are able to speak your mind, face your fears, and achieve your personal goals. I am mostly doing virtual sessions at this time. I have a limited amount of availability for office sessions one day a week.

As a society, we have grown distant from each other, alone in many phases of life. We experience life situations alone and repeat problematic patterns not knowing how to change or cope. As a psychotherapist I am spiritually based and believe the family is the foundation which supports the healthy development of it's member's. As a clinician I seek to develop therapeutic relationships which prepare the person for change which positively impact their life. For over 20 years I have worked with families, couples, individuals and children in a wide variety of psychological, emotional, behavioral and cognitive challenges.

Together we will explore and discover skills and a mindset to cope, resolve, and/or transition into the new chapter that waits.

I approach my work in a collaborative way that promotes self-awareness, understanding, support and discovery, promoting safety and understanding. By focusing strengths, I hope to assist my clients in finding healthy ways to cope with stressors, achieve desired changes, better understand how they relate to others and the world, develop personal potential and empower in a gentle, purposeful manner.
