Religious trauma is the deep and lasting impact that can result from harmful religious experiences—whether through fear-based teachings, rigid doctrines, spiritual abuse, or the experience of leaving a controlling faith group. For many, religion was once a source of identity, belonging, and meaning. When that’s no longer true, the loss can feel disorienting and overwhelming.

This kind of trauma is a very real experience. It can show up as anxiety, depression, shame, loss of self-trust, difficulty in relationships, or feeling disconnected from your own body and voice. You might be questioning everything—your identity, your values, even your right to exist outside that belief system.

If you’re navigating this kind of pain, you’re not alone.

I offer an empathic, safe, non-judgmental space to explore what you’ve been through, reconnect with your inner authority, and begin to rebuild a life that feels authentic to you. Whether you’re still within a faith community, on your way out, or years beyond it but still feeling the impact—I’m here to support you with compassion, care, and respect for your own pace and process.

We’ll work together to gently untangle the threads of control, fear, and shame, and make space for your own voice, needs, and values to re-emerge. Healing is possible.
