The Art and Science of Secular Living
Psychoanalysis for Freethinkers
Charting Atheists Through Human Existence
Secular Advisory & Support
If you have found your way here, it is likely because you see the inherent harm in outsourcing your identity and morality to unquestioned dogma. However, choosing to live with your eyes wide open comes with a significant burden of building a framework for your life from the ground up. Whether you are recovering your own autonomy, reaching out to someone trapped in a high-control dynamic, or optimizing your life using reason rather than magical thinking, you've come to the right place.
I work at the intersection of religious deconstruction, trauma recovery, and secular self-actualization. My background is in evolutionary anthropology, neuropsychoanalysis, and psychotherapy science. I specialize in providing targeted support to freethinkers who want to disentangle from dogmas, navigate relationships with loved ones in high-control systems, or build an optimal life grounded in reason and humanist values. Beyond my academic credentials, I bring my own lived experience of figuring out how to build a good life without supernatural beliefs.
My practice is an inclusive, entirely secular space free from dogmatic oppression and mystical assumptions. I provide personal support in navigating complex transitions, healing from spiritual and systemic abuse, untangling deep questions, and creating worthy ways of living. We can connect through face-to-face video sessions, audio exchange, written dispatch, or continuous text-based correspondence.

Avenues of Collaboration
Evidence-Based Support for Freethinkers
Whether you are shedding a faith-based worldview, trying to interact with a loved one in a high-control dynamic, or simply building a reason-grounded life from scratch, reach out. I offer three allied pillars of support, each grounded in evolutionary science, neuropsychoanalysis, and secular philosophy.
Secular Psychoanalysis & Advisory
For atheists and freethinkers seeking self-actualization and existential depth. You are emotionally grounded, but you refuse to settle for a functional baseline. You want to explore your identity, clarify your life goals, and deepen your emotional intelligence without the intrusion of spiritual bypassing. Using frameworks from evolutionary biology and affective neuroscience, we will examine the mechanics of your mind and deliberately construct a deeply meaningful, self-authored life.
Deconstruction & Trauma Recovery
For individuals untangling from religious dogma or spiritual abuse. Discarding a rigid ideological system is an exhausting, disorienting process. This is a secure, clinical space to process the emotional fallout of leaving a faith. Together, we will dismantle inherited guilt, heal the psychological impact of high-control environments, and safely rewire your mind for autonomy, clarity, and peace.
Support for Loved Ones
For those whose loved ones are trapped in coercive systems. It is painful to watch someone you care about lose their autonomy to a dogmatic scheme. My coaching provides strategic, psychological leverage. We will analyze the specific mechanisms of their indoctrination and equip you with boundary-setting tools, communication strategies, and a realistic roadmap for supporting your relationship.

Analytical Inquiry for the Secular Mind
I work at the intersection of science, philosophy, and subjective meaning. My background is in evolutionary anthropology, psychotherapy science, and (neuro)psychoanalysis. I study the evolutionary design of the human mind, and more importantly, how we can deliberately outsmart those systems to shape a life of your own making.
My practice is an evidence-based space free of supernatural premises. I specialize in providing secular support to freethinkers who want to construct a self-authored life grounded in reason, disentangle from dogmatic structures, or navigate relationships with loved ones in high-control schemas. This requires examining your internal world closely, facing realities without the comfort of magical thinking, and consciously building what does not come naturally.
Through flexible formats, including face-to-face video sessions, audio exchanges, and continuous text-based correspondence, I provide deliberate support to help you heal from systemic abuse, untangle complex life questions, and architect a coherent way of living.
