What is My Approach?

Are you seeking growth and healing in a supportive, empathetic environment? As an existential-humanistic counselor, I believe in your inherent potential for transformation and fulfillment. My approach focuses on nurturing self-awareness, meaningful connections, personal agency, and a deep sense of wonder. Together, we’ll explore and understand your inner world—identifying patterns, uncovering hidden aspects of yourself, and addressing unmet needs and challenges to showing up authentically. Through a unique and genuine therapeutic relationship, I create a safe space for you to explore and embrace your true self. Let’s embark on this journey together, unlocking new possibilities for a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Every person is unique, and their therapy should be too! I tailor my approach to fit your individual needs, using a variety of methods that resonate with you—whether that’s expressive arts, music, philosophy, poetry, mindfulness, or movement. Combining my core philosophy of Existential Humanism with techniques from Internal Family Systems, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT, DBT, and Experiential Therapies (among others), I offer a holistic and personalized experience. In our sessions, you won’t be seen as a set of symptoms but as a whole person, striving to craft a life that’s truly meaningful and fulfilling. Let’s work together to explore and embrace the changes you seek.

***I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is of crucial importance, which is why I offer all potential clients a complimentary consultation to determine if my approach works for you. I am happy to answer any questions you may have at that time, or by email. If you would like more information about Existential Humanistic counseling, please follow the links below:
