As a specialist in Religious Trauma recovery, I founded the Conference on Religious Trauma (CORT) and the Shameless Sexuality: Life After Purity Culture conference, and I host the Divorcing Religion Podcast.
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.

My counselling experience ranges from daily stressors to crisis situations and deep-rooted trauma.
My clients tend to be people who march to the beat of their own drum. They know what it’s like to feel misunderstood, and some might go as far as to consider themselves “black sheep” or even outcasts. My approach to counselling involves embracing your unique identity. I love helping people embrace their most authentic selves!
