Leaving, Learning, & Living

If you've experienced the pain of being part of a high-control or high-demand religious group, you know that while religion and spiritual practices can offer comfort, connection, and meaning, they can also be sources of deep hurt. It can often feel like you're out of sync with the world around you, like you’re always just a little outside the loop.

I specialize in supporting individuals like you who are healing from religious trauma. This trauma can show up in many ways: hyper-vigilance, anxiety, confusion about boundaries, difficulty making decisions, constantly seeking validation from others, or feeling uneasy in relationships or group settings.

Leaving a spiritual community can be an incredibly difficult journey. It often means a confusing process of losing once cherished relationships, a shared sense of purpose, and a belief system that offered comfort and security for a time. These changes can leave you feeling untethered, unsure of how to move forward. But you don’t have to face this alone. In therapy, we can work together to rebuild trust—both in yourself and in your ability to create meaningful, safe connections with others. With years of experience and clinical training, I am here to help you make sense of your experiences, reclaim your identity, and explore what healing, growth, and spiritual integrity can look like for you now.

Although awareness of religious trauma is growing, many therapists don’t fully understand its unique impact. I bring both professional training and personal insight into this work. Whether your goal is to feel more grounded, rebuild relationships, or explore spirituality in a new way, I’m here to walk with you, offering compassion, clarity, and a focus on what truly helps you heal.
