A Place For The Things You Don’t Say Out Loud
Therapy with me isn’t about simple answers—it’s about the questions you may have kept hidden. It’s about the layers of life’s challenges that often go unspoken: grief, identity, aging, transitions. In our work together, we’ll go beyond surface-level discussions to explore the deeper meanings behind your thoughts, feelings, and actions.I
I practice counseling and psychotherapy from an existential perspective, which may feel unfamiliar but is centered around “matters of existence.” From this view, no one is immune to life’s inherent challenges. The issues you bring are understood as arising from the simple reality of being human: it’s hard to make sense of the past, relate well to others, and know what choice to make. Existential therapy recognizes that everyone is doing their best to cope with life’s hardships and realities. It is a deeply life-affirming approach rooted in the belief that change is always possible.
Existential therapy is particularly helpful for those navigating aging anxiety, death anxiety, grief, life transitions, personal responsibility, guilt, regret, and even career choices. In our work together, we will explore what it means to live fully, even in the face of uncertainty.
If you’re ready for authentic connection, thoughtful reflection, and therapy that moves beyond quick fixes, I invite you to discover how the process unfolds.
Clinical Priorities of My Approach
In existential therapy, the relationship between therapist and client is paramount. We’ll form a partnership based on authenticity, honesty, and spontaneity. The therapeutic relationship itself can heal the wounds of past life experiences, bringing clarity to current challenges.
We will focus on the here-and-now of your experiences, using our time together to explore solutions, build skills, and empower you to make responsible, creative decisions. Above all, we will foster radical acceptance of life’s inevitable struggles, like aging and loss, creating space for peace amidst uncertainty.
