Meaning & Sense of Purpose

Many people find themselves asking big questions at some point in life: Why am I here? What is this all about? What gives my life meaning? These are deeply human questions, and while they can feel overwhelming, they can also open the door to a richer, more fulfilling life.

Taking time for reflection allows us to discover the values that truly matter and the direction we want to live from. When we connect with our sense of meaning and purpose, life can feel more grounded, intentional, and rewarding.

This kind of reflection can be especially important for men, who are often encouraged to focus on “doing” rather than pausing to ask what gives their lives deeper significance. Without this exploration, it can be easy to move through life on autopilot, achieving and producing but still feeling unfulfilled.

In our modern Western world, where organized religion plays a smaller role in many people’s lives, fewer of us have been given guiding values or frameworks to help with these questions. While faith traditions can provide meaning, they also carry shadows of judgment or shame. For those who do not feel connected to organized religion—or who have been hurt by it—finding a sense of spiritual or personal direction can feel even more challenging.

Chris provides a warm, non-judgmental space to explore these existential questions. Whether you are searching for meaning, hoping to clarify your values, or longing to feel a stronger sense of purpose, therapy can help you find direction that feels authentic and life-giving.
