"A humble knowledge of oneself is a surer road to God than a deep searching of the sciences." Thomas a' Kempis
I have been a practitioner since 1988. Over the last 22 years of practice, my approach to therapy has become very eclectic. I have come to understand that no one style can possibly meet the needs of everyone that comes to me for assistance. However, the one variable that is always necessary for a successful therapeutic experience is the positive and trusting bond that is formed between me and those I work wit.

We live in very challenging times with increased levels of stress; our relationships - our closest relationships- take the biggest hit, bringing misunderstanding, hurt and fear.Too often, we try to ignore the problems presented, believing they will somehow just go away. They usually don't.
Working with a therapist who "really gets you," therapy is a powerful tool to address: crisis - loss of relationships, divorce, problems with a child, stress, overload; on-going problems - marital conflict, family issues, ineffective co-parenting after divorce; personal growth - enrichment of relationsips, insight with action.

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.
