I have a passion for working with clients across the developmental spectrum, typically from ages 6 to 30, and I commonly work with people who struggle with anxiety and depression. I am especially interested in working with concerns related to self-esteem/self-worth, identity development, and managing important relationships. My specialty population is the LGBTQ+ community, whether the concerns are specific or unrelated to that identity. I also love working with kids, teens, and their families, especially around improving familial relationships. This may relate to behavioral concerns, academic concerns, life adjustment, and more.

02/15/23 Accepting new clients As a counselor and a retired cop, I have dealt with a wide range of tragedies that can drive a person to seek counseling. Life is messy, and my background will help me understand what you have been through. Trauma is an emotional injury, and like many physical injuries it can heal if you tend to it properly. Even if you haven’t suffered an extreme event, you may feel stuck and be unable to move forward. I retired from policing so that I could more directly help people put their lives back together. Having bad things happen shouldn’t keep you from being able to have a good life.

Thoughts, feelings and experiences can sometimes be so difficult to sift through alone! Together, we can develop a safe and nurturing space to begin exploring the intricacies of yourself and the world around you. My strength based perspective focuses on person- in- environment, taking into consideration the many facets of human exposure and environmental influences that formulate a person’s life. I have come to see that a person’s greatest power to change comes mostly from their own internal resources of reflection, motivation and realization. My main objective is to be a caring companion to this healing process.

Isn’t it incredible how sometimes just being with another person is healing? But not just any person—a person who really knows us, sees us, loves us, someone we trust. We are not made to go through life alone – in the great moments and the worst, it is the freedom that comes from this kind of relationship that allows us to openly celebrate or openly weep. It is the experience of being fully known and accepted that reminds us who we are and the freedom and power we have to be that person. My greatest honor is to be a partner in finding this type of hope and healing for you, bringing peace and restoration through any trial.

Life can be challenging and at some point, those “challenges” can be a bit more than we know how to tackle on our own. Whether you are simply seeking a healthier lifestyle, focusing on managing relationships, or needing support to get through a life-altering crisis or traumatic event, therapy can help. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, bi-polar disorder, grief or any other issue, there is hope. You may feel hesitant at first to seek assistance, but once you do, you will feel more confident knowing you are taking the beginning steps to a better life and more improved you.

Burdened by the feeling that you’re not enough? Exhausted from not knowing whether you can trust your intuition? Anxiety, depression, or stress is overwhelming you, and you don’t know what else to do. If this resonates with you, know that you're not alone, and there is hope. In my counseling practice, I've witnessed firsthand how our deep-rooted beliefs about ourselves can shape our experiences and hold us back from living fully. But here's the good news: those beliefs don't have to control your life forever.

You don't have to suffer in siIence anymore. In our fast changing world, finding balance can be difficult and may even seem impossible at times. Feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and the thoughts of giving up make it hard to push forward when you have conflicting goals, objectives, and situations in your life. They can seem to happen all at once, and it feels like they are all demanding our energy, thoughts, and immediate choices in order to progress and change. Anxious or depressing thoughts and feelings accompany the trying times of life, and therapy can be a way to get yourself and/or your family up to optimal functioning.

In my professional as well as my personal life, I have observed that nearly every person is facing some sort of difficulty in their lives. Whether personal issues, family issues, parenting difficulties, anger, depression or lack of motivation, everyone struggles at some point in their life. What makes these difficulties potentially overwhelming is that many of us have been taught to keep our feelings to ourselves or maybe some feel as if they don't want to burden family or friends with their problems. Maybe we are fearful of being criticized, misunderstood or judged.

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.
