Grief is not something to be "fixed" but rather an experience to be explored and understood. From an existential perspective, bereavement confronts us with the realities of loss, meaning, and our own mortality. My approach is to create a space where clients can engage with their grief fully—without pressure to move on, but with the support to make sense of what this loss means to them. Together, we explore how grief changes one’s sense of self, relationships, and worldview, allowing clients to integrate their experience in a way that fosters growth and deeper connection to life.

Trauma challenges our fundamental sense of safety, agency, and meaning. In my work, I take an existential approach that acknowledges both the suffering and the potential transformation that can come from facing what has happened. Rather than viewing trauma as something to simply "overcome," we explore its impact on personal freedom, responsibility, and identity. Clients are supported in setting the pace of the work, ensuring that they feel grounded before we explore the memories and narratives that may be shaping their present experience. Through this, they can reclaim a sense of choice and authorship over their own lives.

Self-esteem from an existential perspective is deeply tied to authenticity—living in alignment with one’s values and embracing one’s true self. Many struggles with self-worth stem from a fear of rejection, isolation, or failing to live up to external expectations. In therapy, we examine the ways clients have come to define themselves, question the beliefs that no longer serve them, and explore what it means to live in a way that feels true. By stepping into greater self-awareness and responsibility for their choices, clients can cultivate a more secure and grounded sense of self.
