Though it may not always feel like, your life force is greater than your pain. This is proven by the fact that you have survived all that you have endured AND you are brave enough to seek support now. Trauma occurs when one experiences helplessness without a present and empathic witness. I am able and willing to be present "with you" as you reckon with and release stuck pain from the past. Let's schedule a real conversation at no charge. Tell me what you want/need to feel safe enough. I'll share a bit about how we can work towards more capacity and less pain. If you choose me, I will be honored to be your witness and guide.

Have you been hurt by a past church or religious experience? Has it knocked you off balance and led you to doubt your relationships with other people, with God, or even within yourself? If so, you are not alone. Most of us at some point have walked through various degrees of Spiritual Abuse ranging from mild, disorienting misuse of power to full-blown cult experiences (Religious Trauma). These toxic systems and Spiritual Abuse don't have to have the last word. There is hope for healing, integration, and attachment repair.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adolescents, adults and couples. I approach psychotherapy as an opportunity to address unresolved issues and conflicts as they arise in life through the therapeutic relationship. I believe it is important to examine the various ways and places in one's life that symptoms present, and to work to understand the function and underlying meanings of the symptoms.
