Find meaning, purpose, and direction through depth-oriented therapy.
Understanding Existential Concerns
At some point, most people find themselves asking deeper questions: What really matters in my life? Why do I feel unfulfilled, even when things look “fine” on the surface? How do I make sense of loss, aging, or uncertainty about the future?
These are existential concerns—questions about meaning, identity, mortality, freedom, and connection. They can emerge during major transitions, after loss or trauma, or simply as part of an ongoing search for authenticity. For many, this process can feel heavy or disorienting. You may sense that something within you is changing, but you’re unsure what comes next.
These moments are not signs of failure—they’re invitations to live more consciously. Therapy can help you turn these questions into opportunities for growth and transformation.
How Therapy Can Help With Existential Concerns
Existential therapy focuses on helping you confront life’s biggest questions with honesty, curiosity, and courage. In our work together, we’ll explore themes like identity, meaning, mortality, freedom, and the tension between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming.
Drawing from depth psychology and symbolic exploration, we may look at dreams, recurring images, or life patterns that point toward unconscious wisdom. These symbolic experiences often reveal what’s trying to emerge as you navigate change or crisis.
Alongside this exploration, therapy also offers practical grounding—clarifying values, setting goals, and developing strategies for living with greater alignment. This balance between insight and action allows you to make meaning out of uncertainty and move forward with intention and authenticity.
Over time, existential therapy can help you:
Understand the deeper meaning behind emotional distress or life dissatisfaction
Integrate inner conflicts and reclaim a sense of wholeness
Connect to a clearer sense of purpose and direction
Transform anxiety, loss, or disillusionment into catalysts for growth
Why Work With Me
I’ve been a therapist since 2002, bringing over 23 years of clinical experience to my work with clients seeking meaning, purpose, and transformation. My approach integrates existential psychotherapy with depth-psychological and Jungian perspectives, blending practical strategies with symbolic understanding.
Clients often describe our sessions as both grounding and expansive—a space to explore life’s deeper layers while also making concrete changes in daily life. I help clients examine their internal narratives, uncover symbolic patterns that reflect their inner world, and re-author the story of their lives with intention.
Whether you’re navigating a life transition, experiencing a loss of direction, or exploring spiritual and psychological growth, this work can help you move toward greater integration and authenticity.
