Secular and Non-Religious Therapists in Lone Tree, CO
I help people from all walks of life find lasting relief from the ache of anxiety, depression, and trauma. With me, you don’t have to censor your emotions or experiences because no topic is off limits. Clients often tell me they feel deeply seen, understood, and gently supported as we work toward healing the patterns that no longer serve them. If traditional talk therapy hasn’t helped, or has reached its limit, I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in collaboration with experienced medical staff. KAP can open new space for insight, healing, and meaningful change that once felt out of reach.

Do you struggle to identify what your needs/boundaries are? Find yourself in a pattern of unhealthy relationships? Have trouble saying “no” to others often to your own detriment? Do you tend to intellectualize everything, or find that your emotions are overwhelming? Many of us have never been asked to identify our needs or taught how to process emotions, whether that’s due to trauma, abusive or codependent relationships, or our childhood history and attachments. Your past experiences are integral to who you are, but they are not your full story. It’s never too late to turn inward and rewrite the narrative.

Welcome! I’m glad you’re here. I believe you found me for a reason. I also believe therapy is a collaborative process, one that shouldn’t drag on for years. My hope is that you’ll walk away with enough clarity, tools, and maybe even a few one-liners from me to navigate life without needing a standing weekly appointment. You are the expert in your life. I’m here to offer perspective, skills, and a space to sort through what’s working, what’s not, and what life might look like if you were brave enough to be unapologetically yourself.

You may look capable and put-together on the outside, yet internally feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally worn down.
Many of my clients are adults carrying a great deal of responsibility who also have insight, motivation, and resilience—yet still find themselves repeating familiar patterns, managing anxiety, or carrying experiences that haven’t fully resolved. They’re not looking for surface-level coping strategies. They want clarity, steadiness, and a way to move forward that actually lasts.

I see you – a high-achieving woman everyone counts on, feeling like you must always be "on." It's exhausting, isn’t it? Behind the success and leadership, there’s a cloud of anxiety, self-doubt, and unspoken pain. Deep down, you know there’s more than white-knuckling through life.

You want to feel grounded, confident, and fully present, no matter the situation, or what life throws your way. By working together, you’ll cultivate powerful self-trust, leave insecurity in the dust, and become an unstoppable force for good.

Thinking Different. Feeling different. Being different.
There is nothing "wrong" with you; you aren’t broken, and for gosh sakes, no one here is going to try to fix you. Sometimes, we simply need a partner to help us understand how our mind works so we can begin making changes for ourselves.
You might feel like the world wasn’t quite designed for the way you think. Perhaps you’re a teenager finding your voice, an adult wondering when anxiety or burnout became your default setting, or a couple exhausted by the same cycle of arguments and disconnection.

I often support children, teens, and adults who feel stuck in their own head — overthinking, self-critical, and unsure how to move forward even when they’re trying hard. They may struggle with anxiety, burnout, emotional regulation, identity questions, or life transitions. They’re looking for relief from constant mental noise and a way to feel more present, confident, and authentic — not just symptom reduction, but understanding themselves so they can trust their reactions and move through life without feeling behind or “wrong.”

It's important to find a counselor you feel safe and comfortable with. In my experience clients find it hard to open up in counseling if they experience the counselor as inauthentic. I remain genuine throughout the counseling experience in order to promote a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. While I see the benefits of specific counseling techniques and interventions, I believe the counselor-client relationship is the most important aspect of counseling. As a counselor, my job is to empower you, assist you in your journey of self exploration, challenge you, and consider the impact of culture and identity

Telehealth in CO & IN. In-person only in IN.
I work with high-functioning adults, white-knuckling their way through life. Many know why they feel the way they do, but insight alone hasn't sufficed.
The work I do is active and collaborative. We look carefully at patterns, protective strategies, and internal narratives that once helped you cope - helped you survive, but now keep you stuck.
I work with curiosity, clarity, and direct conversation to help you understand what’s actually happening beneath the surface and how to shift it. This process asks for honesty and engagement, and it creates real momentum for lasting change.

Sometimes life happens in a way that leaves us hurt, questioning, and unsure of what to do next. Connection and relationships are a part of a collaborative process to engage in healing. I practice through connecting our thoughts to our emotions and bodily sensations through EMDR, Ketamine, DBT, Schema Therapy and relational tools. While therapy goals are built on your needs, I will always maintain a focus of deeper self awareness during our time together. We will focus on creating a space of possibilities and connections that recognizes each as an individual to help remove the stigma around receiving help.

I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding and implementation of new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client and the therapist. Health and wellness are a journey, not a destination, and I ask that you allow me to walk alongside you as you reach for your personal summit.

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.
