Counseling

Interested in discussing something with a philosophical counselor? Book me here through Psychology Today!

I am a Columbia University-trained philosopher and educator, and I am a certified counselor with the American Philosophical Practitioners Association. Through the techniques and skills of philosophical analysis and dialogue, I offer comprehensive counseling to help clients manage or resolve personal, logical, teleological, axiological, conceptual, existential, or ethical problems adversely affecting their lives. I specialize in psychoterratic syndromes such as eco-anxiety, climate grief, solastalgia, terrafurie, and environmental melancholia. I can also help with navigating the myriad difficulties imposed by contemporary capitalism.

Perhaps you're struggling with a moral dilemma, a disagreement with a loved one, or a professional frustration of some kind. Whatever difficulty you face, analyzing it with a philosopher can help bring clarity to your situation. By identifying the key factors involved, considering alternative perspectives, and critically reflecting on your assumptions and beliefs, you will become better able to act or choose wisely—and I can assist you with that process.

I agree with Kierkegaard: "To become human does not come that easily." Nevertheless, I firmly believe that each of us can discover within ourselves the capacity to use our relationships with others for growth, change, and personal development. Through philosophical counseling, I work to provide my clients with such a transformative helping relationship.​​
