A belief I carry into my work is "We are not robots! We are imperfect, complicated human beings." For you, this may look like fears of failure, struggling to get through daily tasks, lacking joy, feeling hopeless, or comparing yourself to others.

Our relationships define our humanity, bringing richness and joy into our lives while sometimes causing pain. They act as mirrors, reflecting our inner selves and fulfilling our innate need for connection. When we are connected to others, we feel more in tune with ourselves and our world. However, mental health challenges can both contribute to and result from relationship discord, creating a distressing cycle. Feelings of isolation lead to further disconnection, distancing us from our values and deepening our sense of loneliness and loss. Through therapy, we can carve a different path: one of vulnerability, intimacy, and joy.

My ideal client is someone who’s tired—tired of carrying everything, showing up for everyone else, and putting themselves last. On the outside they may look like they’re holding it together, but inside they feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and aware that past hurt or trauma has been running the show in their current life. They come to therapy not because something is “wrong,” but because they’re ready to heal, to finally deal with what’s hurt them, and to reconnect with themselves so they can feel grounded, balanced, and whole again.

You're out of spoons by 9 am, if you had any at all today. You fluctuate between feeling overloaded and shut down. Your world is too much, and your comfort zone has become your prison; months or years pass before you feel confident enough to take any kind of risk at all. Maybe your pets have become your sole source of social interaction, or you live a rich virtual life and daydream about belonging to an actual in- person community who accepts you for exactly who you are (whoever that is!). Therapy with me is not about forcing change, it’s about expanding capacity and choice- building a life that actually fits your nervous system.

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.
