I’m passionate about creating a non-judgmental safe space for people asking spiritual and existential questions and helping them see how beautiful they are in the midst of uncertainty and change. I specialize in working with adults wanting to process various challenges related to adverse religious experiences, rigid belief systems, high control environments, and toxic family relationships.
In particular, I enjoy coming alongside Christians and ex-evangelicals that are navigating painful experiences in the church, folks that are deconstructing their faith and stuck in cycles of addiction. I also really enjoy working with couples and helping them rediscover love and intimacy. The common thread through all my work is my utter fascination of people’s stories - whether it’s a complex, romantic, or seemingly boring one, there literally is nothing I’d rather be doing in this world than sitting with you and your story.
I know the journey towards wholeness is not always easy, and it can feel hopeless and painful at times - especially if you’re walking away from harm or from familiar environments and structures that were once a source of safety. Rigid families, spiritual trauma, and high-control environments can often lead to feelings of shame and isolation, and disconnection from yourself and others. Those of us that are hurting need safe spaces to get deeply curious, explore, and heal without someone claiming to have all the answers or feel the pressure to give the “correct” answer.
Together we can unravel parts of your story, discover the messy parts, and the beautiful parts too, and learn to reconnect to your most authentic self. My interest in this work was inspired by other counselors, mentors, and friends that were able to fully see me in the midst of confusion, chaos and uncertainty. I’d be honored to create and hold that kind of space for you.
