Pronouns: She/Her
As a trauma-trained mental health clinician, I specialize in religious trauma and abuse, working with adults who have experienced harm in religious environments or other high-control groups. I help individuals heal from the damage of religious indoctrination, such as persistent feelings of shame and fear, identity confusion, low self-esteem, loss of purpose, matters of sexuality and gender, navigating the profound sense of loss and grief related to leaving a tight-knit community, and strained relationships with family and friends.
I also help people process the pain and betrayal associated with childhood physical or sexual abuse or neglect. Whether you are considering leaving your religious group or left long ago, it can be helpful to process your experience with a trusted professional. I take a holistic, customized approach to healing and help individuals explore themes of personal autonomy, authentic connection to self and others, curiosity, and purpose. I trust my clients and their ability for growth and right to self-determination.
