You’ve probably been thinking your way through life for a long time. You’re smart and insightful. You understand yourself intellectually, but your thoughts rarely slow down. You replay conversations and question decisions. Anxiety runs in the background, and you can feel like you're at the mercy of your thoughts, just wanting some relief. You’re often generous and kind toward others, yet critical of yourself. You’re not sure how to actually feel your feelings without becoming overwhelmed or maybe feel them at all. You want to trust yourself instead of constantly questioning your reactions. If any of this feels familiar, welcome :)

Yes, accepting new clients! Sometimes it's nice to have a trained person in your back pocket who isn't a spouse, life partner, friend, sibling or co-worker who will actively listen and collaborate to make sense of everything. Each client is different and we'll work to figure out the right approach for you. I hope I'm a thoughtful, authentic, creative catalyst to increased self-awareness and personal growth. In all likelihood, we'll laugh a little because you almost have to nowadays. I love educating and empowering people as a long-term strategy to overcome adversity and believe effective counseling has to be a partnership.

Life has thrown so much at you, and you feel like you can't keep up. One minute you’re fine, but the next, you’re freaking out in the bathroom, trying to get it together. Maybe you don't quite recognize yourself anymore; your perspective is shifting against your will. Life feels heavier than it used to. This isn’t working anymore, but you don’t know what to do.
There’s a reason something in you is responding this way. I believe positive-talking your way through without acknowledging the reality of how hard this is would be a disservice to your lived experience, and it would ultimately band-aid and prolong the process.

Your therapist, Jeremy, LCSW, offers enhanced engagements for an empowered well-being! Digital engagements may include Minecraft, Roblox, or Virtual Reality and more. The engagements are integrated into evidence-based therapies which are lead by an experienced clinician! If clients prefer traditional telehealth sessions, that is welcomed too. Clients are diverse in culture, identity, and age. What clients may share is the need to be heard, to discover directionality, and to find a better sense of well-being. The most common symptoms I treat are anxiety, depression, identity challenges, and frustration intolerance. Email questions!

Many of us already know why we struggle, but have a hard time turning that insight into change. I work with folks who are caught in patterns of perfectionism, overfunctioning, self-doubt, and people-pleasing. These patterns often develop as ways of finding safety, particularly for those who have experienced religious, complex, or relational trauma, anxiety, or the challenges of living as an LGBTQIA+ person in non-affirming spaces. Rather than “fixing” the parts of us that no longer feel helpful, we move toward them and begin to relate to ourselves differently, with more compassion, curiosity, and sometimes even humor.

Together, we look beneath the surface to understand patterns, strengthen communication, and create relationships and sexual experiences that feel more authentic and fulfilling.

Lately, life has felt overwhelming. You've worked really hard to get where you are, but it still feels like something is missing; sometimes it even feels like you're living someone else's life. You notice yourself falling into the same patterns, but you don't know where they came from or how to change them. Maybe you know exactly where you want to be going and wonder what is stopping you from getting there, or maybe you know that you need a change but you're not sure how to define what it is you're looking for. Either way, you don't have to figure it out alone.

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.
