Perhaps you've checked the boxes of success, yet there’s a persistent dissonance—a sense that while life looks full on the outside, it feels hollow or fragmented on the inside. Whether you are navigating milestones of ambition or the complex deconstruction of faith and purpose, you likely find that standard answers no longer suffice. I work best with curious, insightful individuals who are ready to look beneath the surface of their symptoms. My approach blends clinical rigor with existential depth, creating a space where we don't just "fix" problems, but explore what it means to live a life of authenticity and meaning.

Hi, I’m Maeve! I am passionate about helping neurodivergent and queer folks embrace their uniqueness and find ways to create a meaningful life within a society not built for them. Many of my clients come to me after deeply harmful experiences with past therapists who invalidated their very way-of-being. Do you relate? I would love to be a safe person you can unmask with. I won't judge you for not being "normal", in fact I might even convince you that your neurodivergent and/or queer traits are what make you wonderful! Even if all you do is read this bio, please know that you are perfect the way you are :)

Maybe you spend hours overthinking, seeking reassurance, or trying to “fix” thoughts that won’t go away. OCD can feel exhausting and isolating, but it’s also highly treatable with the right approach.

My 10 years as a therapist have exposed me to a variety of challenges from deescalating unsafe situations to mediating complex relationship barriers. In my experience trauma can often be found at the core of depression, anxiety, family/spouse conflict, disordered eating, sexual confusion and addiction. All of these challenges can create a sense of feeling stuck, unfulfilled and alone. In some cases, these struggles can be intimidating to address without help. My belief is that therapy acts as a safe place for you to address those struggles in an empowering way; one that gives a sense of purpose, and leaves you feeling connected.

Mainstream therapy was built for a narrow type of person and relationship. Mine isn't. I specialize in faith transitions, perfectionism, identity questions, sexual concerns, and non-traditional relationships — but what ties it all together is this: fewer faulty assumptions about what "healthy" supposedly looks like, and more curiosity about what actually works for you. I think of it this way: people are like plants — a shade plant doesn't struggle in direct sunlight because it's broken, but because it's in the wrong conditions. My job is to help you figure out what kind of plant you are and build a life and relationships that fit.

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.
