You've always been the one who figures everything out—the dependable one, the capable one. But lately, the strategies that helped you get through life aren't working anymore. Maybe you're burned out, questioning your faith, navigating a late ADHD or autism diagnosis, coming out, grieving, or simply wondering why you can't keep pushing through. I help thoughtful Queer and neurodivergent adults untangle burnout, religious trauma, deconstruction, identity shifts, anxiety, and chronic self-doubt so they can reconnect with themselves and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.
As a Queer & neurodivergent therapist with lived experience in conservative religious culture, I understand the complexities of religious trauma and deconstruction. You won't have to explain why leaving a high-control environment can affect your relationships, identity, nervous system, and sense of self.
I offer online therapy throughout Tennessee, including extended 90-minute to 3-hour sessions for people who benefit from more spacious, depth-oriented work. If you've spent years trying to figure everything out on your own, therapy can be a place to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin trusting your own voice again.
