I work with adults who are healing from religious trauma, spiritual abuse, and high-control or rigid belief systems. Many of my clients are sorting through anxiety, shame, people-pleasing, and a loss of identity after growing up in environments where fear, control, or strict expectations shaped their sense of self. My work is also informed by my own lived experience. I grew up in a conservative, fundamentalist Baptist environment, including Christian school and Bible college, so I understand from the inside how deeply these systems can shape your identity, beliefs, and nervous system. I know how confusing it can be to untangle what you were taught from what actually feels true for you. You might be questioning what you believe, trying to work through lingering guilt or fear, or figuring out who you are outside of what you were taught. Some people I work with are deconstructing their faith, while others are exploring how to stay connected to spirituality in a way that feels safer and more authentic. There is no one “right” path here, and I won’t push you in any direction. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I’m trained in EMDR and integrate somatic, attachment-based, and relational work to help process what you’ve been carrying and support you in feeling more grounded and connected to yourself. We move at your pace, always. I care deeply about creating a space where you feel safe to talk about the things that have felt confusing, isolating, or hard to say out loud. You don’t have to minimize your experiences or explain them perfectly. You get to show up exactly as you are. I also work with LGBTQ+ clients navigating the intersection of identity and religion, including experiences of rejection, shame, or loss of community. Healing from religious trauma is not about telling you what to believe. It’s about helping you reconnect with your own voice, your values, and your sense of self so you can build a life that actually feels like yours.

If you've been harmed by a faith community, are deconstructing beliefs you were raised with, or are carrying confusing or painful feelings about religion, identity, or sexuality, you are not alone, and you are welcome here. This space is non-judgmental, spiritually sensitive, and entirely yours. My role isn't to tell you what to think or who to be, it's to walk alongside you as you learn to trust yourself again. The approach I draw from is Internal Family Systems, a compassionate, non-pathologizing modality that helps you get curious about your inner world. For those who have been taught to outsource their sense of truth to a church, a leader, or a doctrine, this work can be quietly revolutionary. If you've ever asked, "Why do I still feel this way if I've left?" or "Why does this part of me still believe?", this work may be exactly what you're looking for. It's about coming home to yourself.

Therapy with me feels broader than just talking; we'll pay attention to the painful things held in your body, too. My clients are often surprised that we don't even have to talk about trauma to start the healing process! I love working with people as they experience stuck places releasing through EMDR, old narratives exhaling under new insights, and overwhelmed bodies processing through gentle somatic work. I am a person of deep faith, and I enjoy working with clients who want to explore spiritual parts of their experiences or figure out how to rebuild a faith shattered by trauma. But I also enjoy working with people who hold other values and beliefs - and people who don’t want spirituality in the therapy space at all. You are welcome exactly as you are: no pressure to be anything else. My goal is simply for you to find the help that you are looking for.
