My clients are often dealing with something that feels too complicated or too shameful to bring to just anyone, whether that's surviving infidelity, working through trauma, or untangling shame around sex and intimacy.

People working through religious messages about sex that are now causing shame, guilt, or disconnection. They want a therapist who won't judge them, won't impose a moral framework on their choices, and knows how to work with the specific kind of pain they're carryin

You're the one everyone counts on. You show up, keep the peace, do what's expected—and from the outside, it probably looks like you've got it all together. But inside, you're worn out. You constantly second-guess yourself, worry about disappointing others, and feel anxious about setting boundaries. You avoid conflict, overthink, and still feel like you're falling short. Years of people-pleasing and perfectionism have taken a quiet toll on your self-esteem. Deep down, you're not even sure who you are anymore—beyond who others expect you to be.

For many LGBTQIA2S+ and neurodivergent people, years of trying to meet others' expectations can make it difficult to know what you actually need. Maybe anxiety keeps you overthinking, perfectionism makes nothing feel good enough, or you've spent years masking parts of yourself. Therapy can help you understand these patterns, let go of shame that was never yours to carry, and build a life that feels more authentic and sustainable. I offer affirming, collaborative therapy for LGBTQIA2S+ and neurodivergent teens and adults navigating anxiety, identity, self-doubt, and shame.

I understand the overwhelming struggle of navigating life with OCD and anxiety disorders. It's like being trapped in a mind that never stops, a constant whirlwind of 'what if' scenarios that demand your attention. The relentless racing thoughts can leave you feeling paralyzed by fear and distress, creating a daily battle that drains you both mentally and physically.

You’ve been holding it down for everyone else, and now you’re realizing it’s time to show up for yourself. You’ve been waiting for something to shift for clarity, for peace, or just a moment that lets you breathe and feel like you’re finally okay. But instead, you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re carrying more than you can even name. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

Do you ever feel like daily life is a struggle, or that navigating big changes seems impossible? Maybe you’ve been carrying the weight of trauma, complex emotions, and experiences that leave you feeling misunderstood—like no one truly gets how your mind works, or worse, you don’t even fully understand it yourself. If you’ve faced discrimination or battled with self-harm, suicidal thoughts, or dissociation, it can be hard to find a therapist who truly gets it. But the good news is that you don’t have to do this alone.

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.
