Religious Trauma

Sunlight beams through stained glass windows in a gothic cathedral.

Leaving a high-control or deeply formative faith can affect every part of your life: identity, family, relationships, sexuality, and your sense of safety in the world.


You may be sorting through shame, fear, anger, grief, relief, or disorientation. You may also be rebuilding meaning from scratch.


My perspective is shaped by decades inside evangelical Christianity and my own process of leaving the church. I understand how layered and destabilizing that transition can be.


There is no requirement here to land in a particular belief system. Therapy is not about replacing one framework with another. It is about helping you hear what is actually yours underneath what was inherited.

  •  If you are in crisis, please do not use this site. Call or text Blackline (prioritizing BIPOC) 800-604-5841, Trans Lifeline 877-565-8860 or click here to see more crisis services and information about police intervention.
  • Please note that some crisis line workers are mandated to report calls regarding suicide to the police. If this is a concern, we encourage you to first ask about their reporting policies before sharing.
  • If you or someone you know is in immediate, life-threatening danger and decide to call 911, please be aware that police are not equipped to offer mental health support and may even pose danger to People of Color, Neurodivergent people and Disabled people. Please ALSO reach out to community leaders, neighbors, friends, and family to be present if you are calling the police.


I reside and practice on stolen land that belongs to the Piscataway and Manahoac peoples. Learn more about this land and to learn about the land you live on. Please consider how you can support the first stewards of this land.
