I have worked in addiction treatment for more than a decade. Addiction is a complicated problem and usually the surface issue of deeper problems. Treating the problems that led to the behavior is essential.
As the under-lying issues are different for everyone, so is the treatment.

Life can be exhausting when you’re constantly holding everything together. I specialize in helping professionals manage anxiety, depression, and burnout. My work is grounded in professional training and lived experience. Many of my clients appear capable on the surface but struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, and high internal pressure. Their minds are overthinking and anticipating problems, leaving little space to rest or feel grounded. I create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to help you slow down, reduce stress, & build healthier boundaries.

I work with clients who are navigating life changes, and looking to reconnect with their deeper self. Are you feeling loss of sense of self, disillusionment or confusion?

I value a holistic approach to mental wellness: working to strengthen the relationship with self that encompasses mind, body, and spirit. I have a dedication to self-care and a compassionate approach to oneself, with focus on connecting to and building trust with one’s own inner guidance.

Therapy doesn’t have to be stiff, awkward, or feel like a weird performance review of your feelings. I believe meaningful work can happen alongside a bit of dark humor realness. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, burned out, or quietly thinking “what is happening with my life,” you’re in the right place. My style is warm, collaborative, and very human. We’ll go at your pace, talk about the hard stuff, celebrate the wins (even the tiny ones), and figure things out together.
And parents, is your kid is not thrilled about therapy? I tend to be a good fit for teens who are skeptical or reluctant.

Secular and Non-Religious Therapists
What is a secular and non religious approach in therapy?
Secular or non-religious therapy is a theoretical orientation used by many therapists and describes a therapeutic approach that does not rely on any specific religious or faith-based beliefs in the therapeutic process. Secular counselors will often approach therapy with an emphasis on evidence-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients, instead of relying on religious practices, such as prayer or belief in God.
Is secular therapy primarily for non-religious people?
Both religious and non-religious individuals can benefit from secular therapy. People exploring their religious or spiritual beliefs may find it especially useful to work with a secular therapist who is unbiased toward any specific religion. While religious individuals might value the connection and familiarity of seeing a counselor who shares their beliefs, secular counseling can offer them the chance to develop coping skills independent of their religious practice, which can be beneficial in various aspects of their lives.
Can a secular approach to therapy help with religious trauma?
One major reason clients may seek a secular therapist is to process previous religious experiences, including religious trauma. Secular therapists can help clients manage symptoms of the trauma through practices such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). They can also encourage clients through talk therapy or psychodynamic approaches to explore the roots of their religious trauma. Since secular therapists do not have any predetermined religious beliefs, they can be particularly helpful for clients looking to explore their own religious beliefs following a history of religious trauma.
What does non religious marriage and premarital counseling involve?
Marriage and premarital counseling typically involves a couple meeting with a therapist to discuss topics such as planning for marriage, navigating a new marriage, addressing relationship challenges, and developing better communication and conflict resolution skills. Non-religious therapists assist couples in achieving these goals without adhering to specific religious beliefs or frameworks, often emphasizing inclusivity and non-judgment, especially for "nontraditional" couples. However, seeking couples therapy from a non-religious counselor does not mean religious topics are off-limits. In fact, non-religious couples from different religious backgrounds may benefit from a secular therapist who remains neutral toward the beliefs of each partner.
