If you've been taught that your thoughts can't be trusted, your emotions are dangerous, or your body is shameful, you may be carrying the impact of high-control religious systems—whether you recognize it as religious trauma or not. Maybe you're navigating family estrangement, struggling with anxiety over the state of the world, or feeling disconnected from your intuition. These experiences don’t have to define your future. Therapy offers a space to untangle these beliefs, reconnect with yourself, and move toward a more grounded, authentic way of being.
Healing from religious trauma isn’t just about confronting beliefs—it’s about reclaiming your sense of self. My approach balances safety and challenge, helping you move beyond shame and doubt toward ease and confidence. Together, we’ll reconnect you with your body, intuition, and identity, transforming past dehumanization into a renewed sense of wholeness
In addition to weekly therapy, I offer intensives—one-day or multi-day deep dives designed for anyone seeking focused, accelerated support. If you’re working through a life transitions, struggling with emotional overwhelm, or wanting deeper self-exploration, an intensive can provide clarity, support, and momentum. This structure fosters insight and growth.
