I like to define trauma as "a natural response to an event that has overwhelmed a person's capacity to cope". An individual's capacity varies considerably, making the nature of trauma very personal and often hard to spot. Fortunately though, the underlying mechanism of the condition is fairly universal, affecting people similarly, which makes it identifiable and thus treatable. It's clear that a war veteran, a 4th grade student, and a career politician have very different hardships in their lives, but the experience of a traumatic event remains the same for all of them - their respective abilities to cope have been overwhelmed.

Have you experienced trauma, whether as a child or adult? You know it's a big part of why you struggle now, but you aren't sure how this piece fits into the big picture. Trauma can affect our relationships, ability to cope, and distress tolerance and can leave us with a pervasive feeling of overwhelm, being lost, depressed, anxious, and alone. Maybe you even experience a feeling of being out of control. You might have given up on ever feeling different. You don't have to just bear life though, struggling in silence or alone. You do not have to be held down by your trauma anymore. I can help you on a journey of healing.

You’ve been the rock for everyone else — pushing forward even when your tank is empty. It's the only way you know how to survive, and it's worked so far. Right?
Carrying the weight of trauma, parenthood, anxiety, relationship struggles, childhood abuse, a thankless job and a dwindling sense of self-worth has left you feeling weak and drained. But you are so much stronger than you think. Strength isn’t stuffing it down/never needing help—it’s knowing when to reach for it. Counseling is your chance to lay down some of that weight, rediscover your resilience, and begin building a life that feels lighter, stronger, and truly yours.

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.
