Welcome! I'm glad you're here. Let's face it, today's chaotic world has many people questioning the meaning of life and their life's purpose. As a therapist who utilizes Existential Therapy, I work with people who crave this level of exploration in therapy. I have experience working in the spaces where these questions arise often, i.e., PHP, IOP, detox, short-term rehab. My private practice focuses on existential exploration along with evidence-based approaches to guide you to the life you want and deserve.

The therapeutic relationship can be powerfully healing. My primary approach utilizes existential therapy, which falls into the humanistic therapy family, with a focus on deep, meaningful self-exploration and navigating your life's purpose. Although this is my guiding approach, I utilize it alongside evidence-based approaches like I-CBT, CBT, ERP, ACT, and DBT to assist with anxiety-related disorders, like generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder with and without agoraphobia, and OCD, as well as ADHD, depression, and suicidality. I also specialize in working with preteens, teens, and college-aged adults finding meaning and purpose during their formative life stages, and adults looking to explore and navigate strained childhoods and family relationships. Please note that if you don't know the approaches mentioned, I'll explain them in session and tailor your treatment to the approaches that suit you best!

The therapy space is important to me. Know that I aim to create a space that is relaxed, collaborative, and client-centered. Humor, tears, and curse words are always welcome! After introductions and going over practice policies, we will jump right into what brings you into therapy. If I sound like the therapist you've been looking for, reach out and we can get your first session scheduled. I look forward to meeting you!
