A Place For The Things You Don’t Say Out Loud
Therapy for Aging, Grief, and Life Transitions
Therapy with me isn’t about simple answers—it’s about the questions you may have kept hidden. It’s about the layers of life’s challenges that often go unspoken: grief, identity, aging, retirement transitions, and life changes.
In our work together, we’ll move beyond surface-level discussions and dive into the deeper meanings behind your thoughts, feelings, and actions. I practice counseling and psychotherapy from an existential perspective, which may feel unfamiliar but is centered around life’s fundamental questions: Who am I? What is the meaning of life, particularly as I age? How do I cope with uncertainty, loss, and inevitable change?
From this perspective, no one is immune to life’s inherent challenges. The issues you bring are seen as arising from the simple reality of being human: it’s hard to make sense of the past, relate well to others, and know what choices to make in the face of aging, grief, mortality, and life transitions.
Existential therapy is particularly helpful for those navigating aging anxiety, death anxiety, grief, life transitions, personal responsibility, guilt, regret, and even career changes. Together, we will explore what it means to live fully, even in the face of uncertainty and loss.
If you’re ready for authentic connection, thoughtful reflection, and therapy that goes beyond quick fixes, I invite you to discover how the clinical priorities of existential therapy for aging and grief unfold.
Clinical Priorities of My Approach
In existential therapy, the relationship between therapist and client is paramount. We’ll form a partnership based on authenticity, honesty, and spontaneity. The therapeutic relationship itself can heal the wounds of past life experiences, bringing clarity to current challenges.
We will focus on the here-and-now of your experiences, using our time together to explore solutions, build skills, and empower you to make responsible, creative decisions. Above all, we will foster radical acceptance of life’s inevitable struggles, like aging and loss, creating space for peace amidst uncertainty.
