You’re not burnt out because you don’t care- you’re burnt out because you care deeply. Most of the folks I work with feel drained by their work and the world around them. They are questioning how much longer they can keep going, while culture normalizes pushing through chronic stress. Managing it all isn’t about willpower or better time management; you need relief, grounding, and space to reconnect with yourself. Art therapy offers a way to express and process what’s happening without turning your healing into another task. In fact, engaging in creative practices can help you regulate your nervous system and find some clarity.

Do you often feel different from others or feel like you might not always fit in with your peer groups? Or, maybe you are looking for someone that can be supportive while you navigate something difficult from your past or present. At some point in our lives, we may experience depression, anxiety, or something we perceived as traumatic that follows us. I find it important to empower those I’m working with to recognize their own self-worth and inner strength in order to find safety, comfort and self acceptance while we navigate those difficult situations.

My primary goal is to cultivate an open, curious, and welcoming environment where we can engage in productive, fun, and insightful conversations as we navigate life's many complexities. Are you drawn to the complex, unconventional heroes who challenge norms and break the fourth wall? Do you appreciate dark humor and a straightforward approach? If so, I might be the therapist for you. I believe we all develop tools and skills to navigate life's challenges. Sometimes, these tools no longer serve us effectively. We then face a choice: continue struggling with outdated methods or find new ways to thrive.

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.
