I consider it a profound privilege to be invited into the lives of those I work with, and I am always deeply grateful for the trust they place in me by sharing their experiences. I believe that for therapy to be truly effective, it must be grounded in a strong, trusting relationship—one where you feel safe to speak openly about what’s troubling you, knowing that you are being fully heard and met with genuine presence.

In the rush of daily life, we rarely have the space to feel truly understood. Therapy offers a dedicated time for you to be fully seen and heard—a space to explore your experiences, challenges, and the deeper meanings they hold for you. If we have the opportunity to work together, my aim is to provide that space, offering support as you navigate the complexities of life.

While I work pluralistically—drawing from a range of therapeutic approaches to best support each individual—my foundation is existential. This means that our work together will be guided by a philosophical exploration of the human experience, considering the challenges, choices, and responsibilities that shape our lives.

A central aspect of existential therapy is reflecting on the ways we engage with the world—how we think, feel, and relate to ourselves and others. This includes exploring contradictions and tensions within our perspectives, as well as recognizing the constraints that come with being human. 

Some of the goals of existential therapy are to enable you to:

Examine your values and beliefs.

Become more truthful with yourself

Find clarity on your purpose in life

Create something valuable and meaningful to live for

Make sense of the paradoxes, conflicts and dilemmas of your existence.
