Existential Therapy is a long-term partnership. And it’s essential that we’re a good match for each other.
So think of the Chemistry Session as a first date.
If we’re aligned, we can start building the partnership.

Therapy for me is like a long-term partnership, which makes Chemistry Sessions similar to a first date. During this 50-minute session, we’re both reflecting on whether we’re aligned in how we approach therapy.
Chemistry Sessions are not blind dates. By the time we meet, I hope you have a sense of my process and what I stand for. If you’re unsure, please read my FAQs and blog.
Our time in this world is limited, and how we use it profoundly shapes how we live. How we choose to spend our time is an intentional act and making a decision on the therapist for you on your journey is part of that.
Imagine the Chemistry Session was like a first date.
On this date, both parties have shown up for a call to explore if making a longer commitment made sense for their needs.

Let’s talk about it. There could be several reasons for a mismatch – perhaps our goals don’t align, or my approach doesn’t resonate with you.
So even if we decide not to continue working together, don’t hesitate to ask for resources. Help me understand how you’re feeling.
The mismatch doesn’t reflect that something is wrong with either of us – it’s simply part of the therapeutic process.
Therapy is a relationship, and it takes both of us to create a meaningful connection.
Let’s unpack what a better match might look like so that I’ll be in a better position to refer you to someone more suitable.
