You’ve been doing your best to get through each day, but your body and mind feel stuck in survival mode. Maybe you’re carrying the weight of childhood abuse, religious trauma, medical trauma, identity-based stress, or years of masking parts of yourself to stay safe. Intense emotions, dissociation, or shutdowns can make it hard to trust your own body. Whether you’re neurodivergent, queer, or simply human and overwhelmed, you deserve a space where healing moves at your pace and each session ends with tools to help you feel grounded and supported.

Congrats on taking a brave step by exploring helpers! Maybe you just can’t seem to find solid footing. The micro-moment you find yourself in a flow, it vanishes, stolen, and you worry you’ve worked so hard only to find yourself back at square one. You’re exhausted from endless uncertainty, and worse yet, you’re feeling terrified of your inner-critic taking hold of another chance to beat you down. Yes, you want to shut that part of your brain up, but more than that, you want another voice to come into power because this ain’t working. You may feel out of your depth like there is too much for you to make sense of on your own.

Are you a high functioning “fixer,” with most of your daily experience organized around finding and fixing problems? In some ways, I bet the tension and release of this cycle is really gratifying, and maybe it comes with a bit of money and status too. But what do you do when you encounter things you can’t fix, or that aren’t yours to fix, or that don’t even want to be fixed? What’s it really like for you when the world reminds you that you aren’t always in control?

“Our scars can destroy us, even after the physical wounds healed. But if we can survive them, they can even transform us. They can give us the power to endure and the strength to fight” - Batman, 2021. After you've experienced trauma you live in a different universe, you see the world differently. Only what you feel is real. Traumatized minds are directed by emotions and misinterpret logic. I work best with those who are highly imaginative, creative, and ready to confront their past.

That’s where my love for this work comes in. I specialize in helping people explore their identity, navigate problematic behaviors or dependencies, and reconnect with what feels real and meaningful. My approach is warm, challenging, and collaborative.

When we say trauma, our go to is typically one event that has left us with symptoms of post traumatic stress. However, accumulated life cycle and emotional traumas can have significant impact to our function as well. These are the events that test our resilience and our emotional survival on a daily basis. Over time, it can feel as though “it” has changed us in a way we struggle to articulate. Sometimes we lay awake at night wondering how can we ever get back to normal. Sound familiar? I am here to help.

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.
