Welcome. You might be here looking for EMDR therapy for childhood trauma, support in healing from religious trauma, exploring identity and sexuality after purity culture, coming out later in life, or navigating stressful family relationships. Maybe you don’t even call your experiences trauma. Maybe there is just some hard, complicated stuff from your past that’s weighing on you and making it hard to live the life you want, and you're tired of feeling anxious and guilty for just... existing.
If you are LGBTQ+, questioning, deconstructing faith, or rebuilding after relationships that no longer fit who you are, you are deeply welcome here. This is a space where your identity is affirmed, your story is respected, and you get to decide how to describe your journey. Does This Sound Familiar?
If this resonates, you’re not alone. I work with many people navigating some (or all) of these challenges. Healing is possible, and it does get better. |

"Relationships matter: the currency for systemic change was trust, and trust comes through forming healthy working relationships." -Bruce D. Perry
Healing from Childhood Trauma
Trust can be one of the hardest things to rebuild when your caregivers weren’t trustworthy. Difficult family dynamics often leave us feeling isolated, misunderstood, and hopeless; especially for adult survivors of childhood trauma. The emotional effects of a difficult childhood can linger long after we leave our family homes, affecting how we feel about ourselves and making it hard to trust others, even in loving adult relationships.
I specialize in helping you integrate your past, recognize the survival mechanisms you’ve developed, and move forward with confidence. My approach is down-to-earth, genuine, and sometimes even a bit humorous. I create a safe, welcoming space where you can be fully accepted for who you are.
I’ve worked with adult survivors of many forms of childhood trauma, including but not limited to:
Parents with untreated mental illness
Emotionally immature parents
Parents with untreated substance use problems
High-conflict divorce
Childhood sexual abuse
Emotional abuse
Physical neglect
Emotional neglect
Physical abuse
My specialty is working with adult survivors of religious trauma, especially those raised in fundamentalist Christian homeschooling communities. I understand the unique challenges of transitioning out of these communities and the complexities of healing from this specific type of trauma.
