You may feel like a stranger to yourself—adrift between who you were and who you’re becoming. Perhaps you carry grief that has no name, or questions that have no easy answers. You long for meaning, for connection, for a life that feels whole. Whether shaped by trauma, spiritual confusion, or the quiet ache of existential uncertainty, your inner world asks to be heard. You want more than coping—you want clarity, depth, and a place to speak freely about what matters most. You sense that healing is not just about feeling better, but about becoming more fully yourself.
I offer philosophically-oriented and spiritually-integrated therapy rooted in existential thought and meaning-centered psychology. I specialize in identity exploration, trauma, relationship challenges, and the psychological impact of acquired brain injury. My approach is warm, reflective, and deeply attuned..
You don’t have to navigate these profound questions alone. I know how hard it can be to reach out. I offer a space where your story, struggles, and hopes are met with compassion and curiosity. Whether you're seeking healing, clarity, or a deeper connection to yourself, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Nietzsche said, "He who has a why to live can bear almost any how." Finding your "why" is perhaps the most important part of healing. We can't always change our situation, but if we change our perspective we can understand its meaning in our lives. Whatever struggle you are facing, whatever problems life has thrown at you, finding purpose will help provide the answers you seek.

Existential therapy focuses on the things that strike most deeply - life/death, meaning, isolation/connection and freedom: the bedrock of many of our psychological challenges. Philosophy asks us what is real, but psychotherapy asks us how that reality is important in our lives and how we will live in response. Sessions are about uncovering purpose and finding answers that provide direction.
