Therapy Services
If you’ve experienced harm, control, or confusion in religious, spiritual, or faith-based environments — or if you want therapy with an LGBTQ+ identifying therapist — you’re in the right place.
I work with adults navigating complex experiences like religious trauma, spiritual abuse, faith deconstruction, sexual shame, and LGBTQ+ identity challenges. Therapy is a space to explore your experiences at your own pace, regain trust in yourself, and build a life that feels authentic, grounded, and meaningful.
Below are the areas I specialize in. Click on each to learn more about how therapy can support you.
Religious Trauma Therapy
Many people leave high-control religious environments carrying shame, guilt, or anxiety that lingers for years. You may feel like your worth depends on obedience, that your thoughts are dangerous, or that your emotions are sinful.
Religious trauma therapy provides a safe space to:
Untangle internalized shame and fear
Rebuild trust in your thoughts, emotions, and intuition
Process spiritual abuse or harmful leadership dynamics
Explore identity outside rigid belief systems
Navigate relationships with family who remain in the faith
Develop healthy boundaries
You deserve support in reclaiming your autonomy, understanding your experiences, and rebuilding a life that reflects your true self.
Spiritual Abuse Therapy
Spiritual abuse happens when authority, doctrine, or community pressure is used to control, shame, manipulate, or silence. You may have been told that your pain or confusion is your fault, that you weren’t “faithful enough,” or that your doubts are sinful.
Spiritual abuse therapy offers a space to:
Understand the dynamics of control and manipulation you experienced
Rebuild trust in your intuition and judgment
Process grief, anger, and confusion caused by harmful leadership or systems
Explore boundaries and autonomy in relationships and community
Reconnect with your authentic self while navigating complex spiritual experiences
Faith Deconstruction Therapy
Faith deconstruction is the process of reevaluating beliefs that once felt certain. It can feel disorienting, even isolating, but it can also be an opportunity for clarity, growth, and self-discovery.
Faith deconstruction support can help you:
Explore beliefs that no longer align with your values
Understand what parts of your faith still feel meaningful
Rebuild a sense of identity and purpose outside rigid frameworks
Navigate relationships and community during this process
Develop a grounded sense of self, separate from previous religious conditioning
LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy
Living outside heteronormative or cisgender expectations can feel isolating — especially if your identity wasn’t accepted in your family, community, or faith. As a queer-identifying therapist, I provide a space that is fully affirming and understanding of your lived experience.
LGBTQ+ affirming therapy can support you in:
Processing internalized homophobia or transphobia
Healing from unsupportive family, community, or religious environments
Navigating coming out or identity exploration
Rebuilding trust and safety in relationships
Exploring life challenges with a therapist who truly understands your perspective
Purity Culture Therapy
Purity culture can leave lasting shame, fear, or confusion around sexuality, dating, intimacy, identity, and self-worth—even long after leaving those beliefs behind. You may still find yourself feeling “behind,” struggling to trust your desires or boundaries, or carrying anxiety and shame about sexual experience or inexperience.
Purity culture therapy helps you untangle these messages and reconnect with your body, sexuality, and relationships in a way that feels grounded, safe, and aligned with your values.
Sex Therapy
Sexual shame, intimacy concerns, desire differences, and confusion about sexuality can impact your relationships, self-esteem, and sense of connection to yourself. For many people, these struggles are shaped by messages from culture, religion, family, past relationships, or experiences that left them feeling uncertain, disconnected, or ashamed.
Sex therapy provides a supportive space to:
Explore sexual shame, anxiety, or self-doubt
Understand patterns related to desire, arousal, or intimacy
Process the impact of purity culture, religious messages, or past experiences
Navigate questions about sexual identity or orientation
Work through relationship challenges related to sex or intimacy
Build communication and boundaries around needs and consent
Develop a more grounded and compassionate relationship with sexuality
You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting. Therapy can help you make sense of what you’re experiencing and move toward a relationship with sexuality that feels less confusing, less shame-based, and more aligned with your values and needs.
If you’re seeking support in any of these areas, therapy can be a place to start exploring your experiences, rebuild trust in yourself, and clarify what you need and want. You can request a consultation call below to see if I’m a good fit for what you need — a space where your story belongs to you, nothing is forced, and healing happens at your pace.
