I use Cognitive Behavioral and Existential Humanistic approaches to help my clients uncover their genuine “truth” and to help them live a more fulfilling and authentic life. While we can't always change diff...

Life can be beautiful, meaningful, and exciting. It can also be overwhelming, confusing, and deeply upsetting. Difficulty can arise when we are no longer living according to our personal values or are experiencing unbearable tension in our relationships without knowing why.
