Spiritual/Religious abuse & early childhood trauma look similar in adults, and I work with both populations. Both create relational conflict. Both create guilt, shame, isolation, fear of abandonment, and rejection that may look like codependence, relationship avoidance, anxiety, and depression. Both cause you to lose sight of who you are. There's a root, and my goal is to help you heal that root so you can see yourself differently and connect with others from a healthier mindset, thus engaging in healthier relationships. Find your confidence, your inner self.
I work from a somatic, bottom-up perspective. Perhaps you've talked about this issue until you're exhausted. Let's do something different. I offer Brainspotting and EMDR intensives to help you integrate these unresolved experiences that block you from living the life you desire.
As a LPC-S, I also support LPC Associates working towards full licensure. It's an honor to pour into and support those who are on their journey to becoming fully licensed.

When your caregiver doesn't provide the emotional support you need as a child, it can create attachment challenges in adulthood. It may show up as codependence, lack of boundaries, difficulty saying no, the caretaker role, fear of rejection, fear of abandonment, difficulty assessing your needs and wants, and even your identity. Together, I help you heal, learn to nurture, and find your "self."

I use brain-body-based modalities like Brainspotting, EMDR, EFT tapping, and creativity to support adults with unresolved childhood trauma from emotionally absent caregivers. I also collaborate with CBT therapists to provide targeted intensives for those clients who are stuck in trauma because talk therapy isn't enough. We work together to create the resolution you deserve.
