My Moto:
 
Whether you stay in religion, leave, or land somewhere in between, the most important thing is that you heal from any aspect of your religious experience that has caused harm.   
 
I work within your belief system. I support your self-determination to live, believe, and do whatever sparks joy in your life.​
​
​I am belief and faith affirming, body positive, sex positive, neurodivergent informed, and LGBTQ+ affirming.

I Help People With:
​
-Religious Traumatic
-Faith transitions
-Purity culture and sexual shame
-Differentiation from religion of origin and family of origin
-Values work + rebuilding identity
-Co-occuring mental illness (such as depression, anxiety, mood regulation challenges, and eating disorders)

-Mixed faith relationships 
​​​​
 
My Approach: 
 
I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities including: 
-Person Centered Therapy

​
Using a trauma informed approach, I help you heal from your past and discover your most authentic self so that you can build a life on your terms. I teach your skills and practical tips to help you succeed. 
 
After an assessment we will create a treatment plan together to address your most pressing needs and will get to the healing!​​
