My therapeutic orientation is existential in nature with deep roots in cognitive behavioral therapy. I focus on meeting your needs by helping you find meaning in your life, which will guide you in reaching your goals. I believe in promoting self-awareness, personal growth, and a more fulfilling existence. Many clients come to therapy because they “want something to change.” I believe change happens when we explore the uncertainty that often accompanies it.In therapy, I prioritize building a strong relationship with my clients, which serves as a safe and confidential space for exploration and self-discovery. Through this relationship, we can lay the foundation for meaningful change and relief from the distress that brought …you to therapy.
