Do you feel plagued by anxiety and quirky habits that you have to complete in exact order before you do anything else? You can’t relax until you’ve unlocked and re-locked the door exactly three times. You can’t sleep unless you’ve checked every corner of the house and said a prayer to make sure everyone is safe. Or maybe you can’t stop replaying sermons and thoughts that you’ve made a moral mistake in your head. This can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone.

I understand what it feels like to feel like my brain has been hijacked with anxious thoughts triggered by harmful religious indoctrination. I am passionate about helping adults impacted by religious trauma to break free from the beliefs that have stained their self-perception, leaving them to obsess over pleasing a deity, rather than than experiencing the pleasure that life has to offer.

My work is centered around holistic, trauma-informed care. therapy with me will be a safe space for you to unpack religious trauma, heal OCD and rewrite your story to be what you want it to be.

Outside of therapy…

You can find me at a local record store, exploring the city with my boyfriend, or on the couch with my cats and a good book.
