I offer philosophical counseling for thoughtful adults at major crossroads—serious life decisions, crises of meaning, and spiritual or philosophical doubt. You might be re‑evaluating your career, relationship, spirituality, or sense of self, and finding that ordinary “symptom talk” doesn’t touch the depth of your questions. I work best with people who are reflective, spiritually or philosophically curious, and hungry for honest inquiry about how to live, what to believe, and what truly matters.
My approach is intuitive, dialogical, and rooted in Gestalt training and decades of meditative and philosophical practice. I draw on a wide range of philosophical and spiritual traditions, together with my scholarly and teaching background, to help you clarify how you see yourself, others, and the world so that new options and paths forward become possible.
If you feel torn, disoriented, or alone with big questions, you don’t have to work it out by yourself. In our conversations you can bring your whole mind and heart—doubts, hopes, and contradictions included. If this way of working resonates, I’d be glad to talk and see whether we might be a good fit.

My primary approach is to function as a Socratic/philosophical midwife, probing and tracking what is alive under the surface and needs to come forth, helping clients explore, examine, bring forth, and develop their own tacit intuitive wisdom, tap into their own moral, philosophical, spiritual compass, cultivate their own agency, and resolve their own issues. Most of my clients are thus short-term.
