As a Registered Professional Counsellor, religious trauma recovery coach, and former fundamentalist, I understand the scars of religion. Growing up with authoritarian parents can result in low self-esteem, boundary issues, communication struggles, and difficulty making decisions. I can help you assess the damage caused by indoctrination; explore past and current beliefs; develop a healthy, reality-based worldview; and build a safe and supportive secular community. Just like religion is pervasive, so is healing from your religious trauma.
