I believe the ideal therapy client for me is someone committed to personal growth and open to exploring and improving relationships, especially within the context of parent-child dynamics and family communication. This client may be a parent striving to enhance their parenting skills, an adolescent seeking guidance during formative years, or a woman addressing issues related to her sexuality and overall emotional well-being. They value a compassionate, client-centered environment where they can openly share their challenges. Ultimately, the ideal client is proactive, self-reflective, and motivated to learn new coping strategies.

I'm so glad you're here! I understand that coming to the conclusion that you may need therapy can be difficult. I view therapy as a safe space to process and discuss all of life's chaos. And let's face it, most of us can find benefit in that. My biggest goal as a therapist is to make sure that you get something out of the 50 minutes we spend together each week. I do that by tailoring my therapeutic approach individually to each client. What works for someone else may not be what works for you. We can figure out what works for you by collaborating your expertise on yourself and my expertise and training as a therapist.

Many of my clients feel stuck in their own minds—overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts, constant distractions, or relentless worry. Some are managing OCD, ADHD, or anxiety, while others are new parents navigating disturbing thoughts, identity shifts, or the pressure to “get it right.” Sleep feels impossible, guilt creeps in, and they wonder if they’ll ever feel like themselves again. They’re exhausted from overthinking, doubting themselves, and trying to push these thoughts and feelings away. They want relief—a way to quiet their mind, be present, and feel more like themselves without anxiety or self-doubt running the show.

You perform at a high level and may look confident or successful on the outside, yet internally feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck. You are constantly seen and evaluated, and that pressure and rejection can lead to overthinking, self-doubt, and emotional burnout. Many of my clients are self-aware, yet insight alone hasn’t created lasting change. They want clarity, relief, and a stronger sense of trust in themselves so they can move forward with more confidence and control.

Many of the adults I work with across Indiana, Florida, Chicago, and Northern Virginia appear capable and accomplished on the outside but feel privately overwhelmed. Some were recently diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood; others are questioning whether years of anxiety, burnout, or self-doubt have masked neurodivergence. You may be juggling a demanding career while struggling with executive dysfunction, chronic procrastination, emotional intensity, or the quiet shame of feeling “behind” despite working twice as hard.

You’re not broken...but you might feel stuck in patterns you can’t seem to change. Maybe you overthink everything, doubt yourself, or feel overwhelmed by your emotions or relationships. You might feel disconnected from who you are or unsure what to trust inside yourself anymore. I work with people who are tired of feeling this way and ready for something to shift, even if they don’t know how yet. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what you’ve been through, and start helping you feel more clear, grounded, and like yourself again.

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.
