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.
As a secular therapist and coach, I can help you reclaim your autonomy, purpose, and enjoyment of life. Exploring internalized messages (from parents and religious training) exposes our beliefs about self, the world, and what we deserve. Let’s clarify your values, improve boundaries and communication, raise self-esteem … and build your brighter future!
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. My bestselling book is Divorcing Religion: A Memoir and Survival Handbook. I’ve helped others find freedom and peace – and I can help you, too.

Common issues for my clients include religious trauma, purity culture indoctrination, relationships, boundaries, & communication. Feelings we often address include anxiety, depression, guilt, fear, shame, & anger. As a secular humanist, my approach is person-centered & existential. Some of my methods are CBT (with DBT & ACT), cognitive reframing, & inner child work. I provide a summary & homework.
