Do you often find yourself going back and forth about making a change in your head? Is part of you wanting to make that change, while another part is not feeling sure or quite ready yet? Maybe you're trying to get a deeper look at what's going on, but don't know how? This is all part of the change process, and you are probably further along than you realize! Sometimes, a new perspective and new tools can help us "get off the seesaw" and get closer to the life we want. I work to foster an inclusive space where my clients can be seen exactly as they are, without fear, so we can find the path forward together.

First off, how's the search for a therapist going? It can be challenging to find the right fit, so here's what you need to know about me: I could be a good fit for you If you're someone who has religious trauma, or you find yourself experiencing perfectionism and people-pleasing, or you are an eldest daughter and are experiencing the burden that can accompany that role, or if you have trauma, or anxiety, or depression.

You've talked about it, analyzed it, explained it to therapist after therapist. You're strong on the outside while something underneath is running the show. You're high functioning, yet still feel like something is off. We can't outtalk trauma. It lives in your body, in your nervous system, your patterns, the parts of you still trying to protect you from something that already happened. That's why I specialize in approaches that go deeper.

Whether seeking individual, relational, or family therapy, I hold the belief that we are all made up of many parts—each carrying its own story, protection, pain, wisdom, and longing. No part is inherently bad. Along the way, we inherit stories: stories told about us, stories we tell ourselves, stories shaped by family, trauma, relationships, and dominant culture. These stories influence how our parts relate to one another, how we move through relationships, and how we come to understand ourselves. Often, it is within this tension that the call for therapy emerges.

Life can be overwhelming when you spend your days caring for others while your own needs go unmet. You can't look away from the news, but it feels impossible to function while you watch the world burn. Leaving a high-control religion is challenging, as you work to figure out your own values and and how to navigate family dynamics moving forward. You want to be a different kind of parent to your kids, but despite your best efforts, you find yourself yelling at them. You don’t want to spend your life hating your body, but you don’t know if you can let go of control. If any of this resonates with you, you are not alone.

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.
