My clients are typically between the ages of 18 and 60. They are typically, but not exclusively, queer, trans, polyamorous, neurodivergent, or exploring identities. Clients come to me to receive skills, tools, and processing from someone who shares one or more of my identities. I work a lot with both couples, individuals, and the occasional group who are seeking direction or accountability help with polyamory and/or Ethical Non-Monogamy. I also work with a lot of survivors of religious trauma.

Do you ever feel like a contradiction? One day you're committed- the next you just can't even go there? Ever doubted WHO you really are? My most successful clients have already experienced typical counseling and talk therapy and want to go deeper. They've tried all the positive thinking, grounding, and thought interruption techniques and, quite frankly, want to find peace, calm, and happiness without working so hard to moderate their every move. I will guide you through a meditation-like session where you will deeply befriend the various parts of who you are currently pulling you in different directions. Lasting change w/ Self Trust

Waitlist for new clients
Many of my clients carry a quiet sense that something has always felt different or off-script. Some are autistic or ADHD and have spent years adapting to systems that never truly saw them. Others are navigating trauma, grief, or identity shifts, often without clear names or obvious scars. They want clarity, self-trust, and a way forward that reflects who they really are. Therapy with me is about honoring that complexity and building something real, no performance required.

Anxious perfectionism shows up as perpetual shame, guilt, and self-punishment. No matter how hard you try, you're always falling short. It's exhausting, but you don't really know how to relax and probably don't sleep welll. Maybe you're a grown-up "gifted and talented" kid, or the child of immigrants, or the sibling who had to keep it together. Anxious perfectionism may also show up as body tension, severe procrastination and indecision, and difficulty with boundaries and people-pleasing. Perfectionists don't do things perfectly—they feel like they ALWAYS have to do better, and they can’t be happy until they get there.

The world can feel pretty scary a lot of the time, and I believe therapy can be a place to navigate it in a safe and supportive environment. I focus on cultivating a non judgemental space to meet clients where they are at in life. My approach to therapy is collaborative, direct and compassionate, as well as using humor as an outlet when it is needed during a session. I believe therapy is never one size fits all and should be a place to explore what works for you with support.

Somewhere along the way, keeping up with everything started to feel like too much — even if you can't quite explain why. Maybe it's showing up in your relationship, in a low hum of anxiety, or in the feeling that you've worked hard at life and still don't feel the way you expected. I work with people who are self-aware, curious, and ready to do more than manage. My approach is body-based and relational — EFT, Gottman, somatic therapy, Brainspotting, and EMDR. For those ready to go deeper, I offer intensives: concentrated half-day or full-day sessions for individuals and couples.

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.
