Philosophical counseling approaches life's problems with an open and critical mind. While practices like psychotherapy tend to be directed at emotions, philosophical counseling focuses on using our rational abilities to critically evaluate the principles and concepts that shape our thoughts and beliefs. This process helps in clarifying your own thoughts as well as offering possible ways forward.
I offer assistance in answering some of life's questions in a philosophical manner. For instance: Do I believe in what I'm doing? Can I better evaluate my own decisions? Should I take this job? Am I in a good relationship? What is my responsibility to the care of my parents? How can I lead a happier life?

"Philosophy" comes from ancient Greek, meaning "the love of wisdom." It is in this spirit that we practice philosophical counseling. Whenever we seek a better understanding of an issue in order to make the best possible decision, we are doing philosophy, for we are seeking wisdom.
