I utilize an existential-humanistic approach which goes above symptom reduction and helps with understanding and developing new ways to experience self, others, and the world. This approach encourages introspection, self-reflection, and assists an individual with increasing self-awareness, self-knowledge, and opportunities for choice where they once felt frustrated, stuck, and hopeless. In addition, I specialize in cross-cultural issues, historical and cultural trauma, and acculturation/racial diversity.

My background is existential-humanistic, psychodynamic, and feminist.
Perhaps you and your partner want to explore consensual non-monogamy/polyamory or are fully entrenched in it, and you’re curious about how to navigate some choppy waters. Maybe you are a person dealing with the fall-out from divorce or a break-up, or you’re a couple struggling to “speak each other’s language” and be vulnerable. Maybe there's the nagging question of "Is what I'm experiencing really abuse?" Uncovering and processing psychological or emotional trauma is necessary in order to fully understand how and why you show up in your life. Maybe you're feeling shame about your sexuality and want to find empowerment...

My approach incorporates IFS, somatic, psychodynamic, existential and person centered methods.
It takes courage to seek help when you are suffering. Taking steps to improve the quality of your life is one of the most valuable gifts you can give yourself. I believe it is the job of a therapist to help people on their journey and that the therapeutic relationship is an essential part of this process. The therapist must create an environment of trust where it feels safe to explore thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental, supportive manner. In this kind of atmosphere, we can begin the work to identify strengths and diminish self-defeating thinking and behavior so that you can move forward with your life.

After 17 years in the industry I have fine tuned my approach to connect with individuals who have been previously unsuccessful with therapy in the past or are looking to do more in depth targeted work. Most do well with basic coping skills and typical positive encouragement, and there are many therapists offing that approach. The specific therapy methods I employ are focused on understanding and changing core issues rather than just managing behaviors. We will travel together to examine hard truths with the goal of creating long term fundamental changes from an existential perspective.

I am primarily an existential-humanistic therapist.
I am passionate about helping those who are introspective, emotionally-inclined, and curious. I care about helping clients move beyond the surface in therapy to reach a deeper level of truth that they haven't yet spoken. Too often, therapy glosses over the fact that, at times, life is painful and messy. As much as we might want to avoid this, I strive to remind clients that we are better off trying to embrace this, and we might be surprised by what comes from doing so.

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.
