I believe two things to be true: that all people have an inner Self-Critic that negates their gifts and sows doubt in their abilities, and also that their struggles can be turned into their "Super Powers" when we can understand how their life experiences got them here. I am here to help you turn from Self-Critical and stuck to harnessing your innate goodness to create the personal progress and satisfying relationships you desire! Whether you want to work on relationship goals, personal goals or help processing trauma, I would be honored to walk with you in non-judgement, ready to listen and help you change your life.

I'm an individual and family therapist, also a substance use disorder counselor. My education and 17 years' experience enables me to work with individuals as they recognize and manage the impact of their (or that of their loved ones) substance use on their world. Apart from SU issues, I also support clients navigating life transitions, recovering from loss, or experiencing conflicts within their network of interpersonal relationships. I especially enjoy working with individuals with difficulty managing moods (depression, anxiety, anger, etc.), developing and practicing a plan for positive change.

I help people explore what’s really happening in their relationships and reconnect with joy. My priority is helping you feel understood and no longer alone. We do that by feeling together—crying, being angry, grieving, and experiencing joy. Often this means noticing and expressing what wasn’t safe or encouraged to feel in childhood or past relationships. Together, we explore what shaped you and what you learned is safe or not, so you can rewrite those lessons and feel freer in your relationships and with yourself. As an Emotionally Focused Therapist, I focus on how your emotions and past experiences shape your current communication.

Are you going through an unending loop of struggle? Perhaps your relationship has devolved from a happy and satisfying love story to a disappointing, distant arrangement. How long can you endure this? Research indicates couples suffer for too long and often wait six years or more to seek professional help for their unhappiness. Career setbacks, illnesses, substance use, and unhealed trauma pummel ones heart and our relationships. It is no wonder people lose their way. It can seem impossible to get past criticism, pain, and years of not showing up as your best self. Are you missing self-love or meaningful relationships?

Healing isn’t about being fixed, it’s about feeling understood and supported. I approach therapy as something we do together, with honesty, curiosity, and care. We’ll look at what’s underneath what you’re experiencing while building a space where you can show up as you are without judgment. Vulnerability is part of the process, and so is laughter, both matter here. I value authenticity, respect, and trust, and those values guide how I show up in our work together, while also helping you build insight, strengthen coping, and feel more grounded in your day to day life.

My work specializes in individual and couples therapy for those experiencing conflict in their relationship. I anticipate sessions with clients speaking from a position of "rightness" early in therapy with a smooth transition to deepened listening while recognizing personal missteps and growth considerations. As a client, you will be expected to be the main character in your narrative and over time place less change demands on the supportive roles in your life. You will speak with purpose and listen with the intention of learning to step into the next chapter of your relationship with yourself and your partner.

Relationships can feel confusing and painful when you argue over the same things or silence replaces connection. When you’re feeling discouraged, it can feel easier to pull away or protect yourself, even from the person you love most. I work with couples who want to overcome this inertia to feel safe with each other again, communicate openly, and soften old defenses. I help you slow down moments when things go sideways, understand what's happening beneath the surface, and begin to reach for each other with honesty, warmth, and understanding. You deserve a relationship where you feel held and seen, and with work, this is possible!

I work with adults and couples and/or non-monogamous relationships, navigating disconnection from themselves, their partner(s), or their sense of identity. Some are healing from relational or cultural trauma, processing infidelity, deconstructing internalized shame, or working through anxiety around sex, intimacy, or performance. They’re not just looking for surface-level fixes; they want to feel more emotionally present, self-confident, sexually empowered, and grounded in who they are. I support them in gently exploring their inner worlds and relational patterns so they can show up more fully in life and in love.

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.
