Religious trauma is trauma.

That means, contrary to what was believed in the past, simply embracing atheism does not heal the embodied messages, adverse religious experiences, and trauma that may have resulted from religion.

Whether you are a client coming to me for support, a professional seeking consultation or supervision, or an advocate who is looking for ways to help those around you who are experiencing the impact of high demand/high control religions, systems, or cults, I want to walk alongside you on the path of religious trauma resolution and recovery.

Though I do not subscribe to a specific modality of healing, I believe that trauma is stored in the body (not the mind!) and therefore requires a nervous system and body-centered approach that is tailored to the unique needs of the individual.

“Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire”- William Butler Yeats
