Existential and Meaning-Centered Work
Some of what brings people to therapy is not a symptom at all. It is a question. Who am I now? What matters to me? How do I want to spend the life I have?

What Existential Work Is
Existential therapy is part of the humanistic tradition. It makes room for the big questions every person faces sooner or later: meaning, freedom, choice, change, loss, and the fact that life is finite. Rather than treating these questions as problems to solve, it treats them as part of being human.
My training in humanistic and transpersonal psychology gave me language for this, and my own nonlinear life has given me plenty of practice.
Why It Matters Now
We are living through a time of enormous cultural change. I often say that anyone who is paying attention is going to feel some unease. That is not always a disorder. Sometimes it is a sign that you are awake to real questions about how to live.
In our work, there is room for philosophy alongside feeling. We might talk about what gives your days meaning, what you are ready to let go of, or what it would look like to live more in line with your values.
Grounded, Not Abstract
Existential work is not only intellectual. We stay connected to your body and your actual life, so that big questions lead to real choices rather than more rumination.
