What is your approach to therapy?
I became interested in the existential approach after it helped me get through a hard time in my life. Existential therapy is a collaborative approach that provides a framework that can easily integrate other forms of therapy. Existentialism is a philosophy that involves a person's purpose and meaning in life. Together we can explore experiences that impact our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I believe that our overall well-being acknowledges the good and the bad. We allow ourselves the opportunity for growth by overcoming challenges.
