How are you doing? What a powerful question, it seems easy, doesn’t it? Many times, people ask that question, not knowing what the response may be from the person asked. What if the person was truthful about how they are feeling at that moment in time, how would you respond? How would you want them to respond? Many would say they want someone empathetic, supportive, patient, helpful, and trustworthy.

Navigating life and your relationships can be difficult and, for some, a constant struggle. You may struggle with low self-esteem, managing and expressing emotions, or have a difficult time setting and keeping boundaries in relationships.

Hi, I’m an LPCA and recent grad from Texas A&M San Antonio. I’m a queer veteran and creative, and I love working with LGBTQIA+ folks and those of marginalized communities (especially, elderly and older adults) as they navigate identity, relationships, roles, life transitions, and coping with the moral injuries, trauma, grief, and losses faced daily. I’m fascinated by art therapy and intend to seek special training, to bring non-linguistic based expressions and creativity into the therapy space. More than anything, I aim to create a space where people feel safe, seen, and empowered to be and explore their full selves.

Are you feeling lost? Confused? Broken? Angry? Tired? Does it feel like nothing makes sense, or that something is deeply wrong with you? Are you struggling to trust yourself, others, or the world in general?
The problems you are struggling with may be thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that have helped you survive, but are no longer serving you. This does not mean you are broken; it means you are human. If you have experienced trauma, you have fought and survived in the best ways you knew how. It’s time to stop judging yourself for how you did that. You have wounds, and it hurts when something bumps up against them.

You know that meme of the dog sitting in a burning room saying this is fine? A lot of people come to counseling feeling like that. Your body might hurt in ways that others can’t seem to understand.

My office can be a space where you don’t have to pretend it's fine anymore. You don’t have to justify your feelings or earn your rest. You can be met with warmth, nonjudgment, and even a little bit of humor.

Many of us struggle on a daily basis with intrusive thoughts caused by traumatic memories, stress, shame, and/or loss of meaning and purpose. We are often left feeling anxious or depressed, angry, and disconnected from the world as we try to make sense of our experiences. If you're like most of us, you've likely learned to cope through addiction, codependency, and mental or physical illness. Yet, you're also keenly aware that your experiences have the potential to transcend pain by creating meaning. The search for meaning gives rise to understanding, and with understanding comes healing.

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.
