Existential Therapy for Individuals Near Houston, TX

Many adults move through work and daily life with competence, yet feel uncertain, constrained or quietly dissatisfied beneath the surface. This can show up as anxiety without a clear cause, difficulty making decisions, a sense of disconnection from oneself or others, or the feeling that life is being lived on autopilot. Existential therapy offers space to explore these concerns with depth and care.

I provide online existential therapy for adults in Houston and throughout Texas. I work with individuals who want to understand how meaning, identity, choice and responsibility shape their inner and relational lives. For many, this work is less about symptom reduction and more about clarifying how they are living and what feels misaligned or unfinished.

People often seek this work when they notice:

• A persistent sense of emptiness or dissatisfaction
• Anxiety or unease without a clear external cause
• Difficulty making choices or committing to a direction
• Disconnection from desire, purpose or vitality
• A feeling of performing rather than inhabiting one’s life

These experiences are not viewed as problems to eliminate. They are treated as meaningful signals worth understanding.

How This Work Unfolds

My approach is grounded in existential psychology and philosophy, integrating phenomenology, Stoic thought, attachment theory, mindfulness and Jung’s concept of the shadow. The focus is on how you make meaning, how you relate to freedom and limitation, and how past experiences continue to shape present ways of being.

We take time to explore fears, values, longings and the strategies that once helped you adapt. The pace is steady and reflective so that insight can emerge without pressure. This is not skills training or symptom management. It is depth-oriented work concerned with coherence, authenticity and personal responsibility.

As clarity develops, many clients find they can tolerate uncertainty with more steadiness, make choices that feel aligned, and live with greater presence and intention.

Meaning, Identity and Responsibility

Existential therapy attends to the realities of freedom, uncertainty, isolation and mortality. Anxiety is often understood not as pathology but as a response to these conditions of being human. Therapy offers a space to examine how meaning is constructed, where responsibility has been avoided or over-assumed, and how identity has been shaped in response to relationships, culture and loss.

This approach tends to resonate with individuals who are functioning but reflective, and who sense that something essential in their life needs understanding rather than quick correction.

Who This Is For

I work with adults navigating existential anxiety, identity questions, life transitions, relational disconnection, grief, loss of meaning or the pressure to live up to external expectations. Clients arrive from many backgrounds and life stages. When trauma is present, we move at a pace that supports safety and integration.
