LCPC, LPC-MHSP

I work with adults navigating religious trauma, faith deconstruction, and the complicated process of figuring out who you are when beliefs or communities that once shaped your life no longer feel safe, true, or aligned with your values.

Leaving, questioning, or changing a faith tradition can affect much more than what you believe. It can reshape relationships, family dynamics, identity, sexuality, parenting, community, and your sense of right and wrong. Many of my clients also carry deeply ingrained patterns of shame, perfectionism, people-pleasing, fear of disappointing others, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling responsible for other people's emotions.

My approach is secular, affirming, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I'm not interested in steering you toward or away from religion. Therapy is a place where you can examine your experiences honestly, make sense of what happened to you, and decide for yourself what beliefs, relationships, and values you want to carry forward.

I also specialize in ADHD and neurodivergence, anxiety, perfectionism, men's emotional expression, boundaries, and relationship difficulties. These experiences often overlap in meaningful ways with religious trauma—for example, when ADHD-related struggles were interpreted as laziness or moral failure, when masking became intertwined with expectations about who you were supposed to be, or when perfectionism and shame were reinforced by religious environments.

Sessions with me tend to be conversational and individualized. Sometimes we'll explore past experiences and the patterns they created; other times we'll focus on something happening in your life right now or on practical ways to establish boundaries, communicate your needs, and build a life that feels more authentically yours.

You don't need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. You can be religious, nonreligious, somewhere in between, or genuinely unsure. My goal is to provide a space where you can be curious about your experiences without being judged, pressured, or given someone else's answers.

I provide telehealth therapy to adults in Tennessee, Illinois, Florida, Ohio, Minnesota, and Georgia.
