Our thoughts, fears, anxieties, and unfulfilled expectations can be obstacles to living the life we want to have and experience authentically.

To hear how you’re feeling and understand the challenges that are impacting you daily.

Relationships are tough but a necessary part of everyday life; be it with your partner, family, friends, or even co-workers. By focusing on the ‘here and now’ many people can strengthen those present relationships. It’s not that the past and future are irrelevant. The past is what has put you in the present and the present is what shapes your future. I offer a safe and supportive environment for you to focus on what has put you into the 'here and now' and how you can better the tomorrow.

Sometimes, being an adult can really suck. Between college or career or raising kids–it might feel easier just to check out or to stay in bed. You try so hard, but things feel hopeless. The thoughts in your head are too fast and too loud: that thing you wish you didn't say, that awful thing someone said to you, how you wish you were different. You feel exhausted but bored, unmotivated and uninspired. Mostly, you just feel stuck, and you're not even sure who you are.

Do you struggle with feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, and thoughts about not being good enough? Do you find yourself worrying about your intimate and platonic relationships? Do you often get accused of "overreacting" to a situation? You’re not alone! My approach is warm, interactive, and non-judgmental. Although flexible, I tend to use a combination of EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), Person-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques.

Are you tired from living in a world that doesn't make room for you to be your authentic self? Have experiences of oppression left you feeling hurt and hopeless? It is a radical act of rebellion to decide to love yourself in a system that wants you to hate yourself. Through engaging in authentic relationship in our sessions, we can begin to say NO to a society that wants us to be something we are not, and begin to embrace our honest, true, genuine selves. I’m here to support you with mental healthcare that addresses both individual symptoms AND the broader systems (sexism, ableism, homophobia, etc.) that often affect these symptoms

My approach to therapy is eclectic and includes mindfulness, feminist, cognitive behavioral, existential, and humanistic modalities.
Anyone is welcome in my therapy room, but I connect best with people who are eager to put in the necessary work to become the best, most self-actualized version of themselves. I'm particularly passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ folks and survivors of interpersonal trauma. I'm also currently pursuing my AASECT certification to become a certified sex therapist and enjoy working with people exploring their identity or deconstructing/unlearning harmful cultural norms around gender and sexuality. I strive to create an environment where my clients can feel safe to be their most authentic selves.

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.
