Have you been struggling to find a therapist who really gets you? AND is strong enough to hold space for all your pain? AND is willing to accept ALL of the parts of you as they arise in your therapy sessions? If this sounds like you, please know that you deserve to have your needs met. Your needs are not too much. You are not too much. I am a trauma therapist that specializes in religious, relational, and sexual trauma. In my practice, I frequently work with folx who have bravely left abusive relationships, religions, and cults. It is brave to leave. And I would be honored to hear your story and help you navigate the road ahead. At the core of my approach is a firm belief that true healing cannot happen without a foundation of trust and safety in the therapeutic relationship. Over time, I will work collaboratively with you to help you understand how the past has shaped the present, using IFS-informed parts work to explore your inner world, and EMDR to reprocess traumatic memories. As a former member of a "high-demand group" (the LDS Church), I know first-hand how isolating and difficult it can be trying to find yourself and to build a new life after leaving. And as a trauma survivor, I also deeply respect what it takes to truly heal from the unspeakable. You don't have to face this alone. You survived. Now, you deserve relief.
