Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel aligned with who you are?

Recovering from trauma and dealing with systemic injustice is a tall order for both individuals and for partnerships and couples, and you deserve a supportive and understanding space where you can grow and heal. Neurodivergence, queerness, non-monogamy, chronic illness, trauma, depression, and anxiety can all impact our relationships with ourselves and others and require an understanding and compassion for the unique intersections of those identities.

Dealing with life events can be stressful for anyone. But there are further difficulties when it comes to neurodiversity, anxiety disorders, and being part of the LGBTQIA+ communities. In this day and age, life can be even more trying as part of a marginalized community. I enjoy helping people work through their life struggles, explore techniques for better executive functioning, and explore ways to manage stressors. While I can work with a wide range of ages, I particularly enjoy helping support children, adolescents, and young adults in their development.

Above all, therapy is a relationship. I work collaboratively with my patients to develop a safe, trusting, and attuned relationship that we can use to explore problematic patterns of relating, work through emotional tensions and conflicts, and better understand themselves. Through the therapeutic relationship, we can begin to unravel those patterns that keep people wondering, "why does this keep happening?", fully experience emotions, develop a greater sense of self-awareness and vitality, and understand how the past impacts and influences the present. I also work with individuals living with infertility concerns.

From the outside, it seems like you have everything under control. What others don’t see is the ongoing exhaustion, the guilt, and the pressure to keep going.

I work with driven, high-achieving professionals, parents, and teens who are tired of living in survival mode. If you’re ready to feel calmer, more grounded, and back in control, without losing your edge, you’re in the right place.

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.
