Ready to work with someone who Actually “gets it?”

I help my clients recover from religious indoctrination at a nervous system level using EMDR, IFS, and Somatic Experiencing

Does it feel like no matter how hard you tried, it was never good enough?

You followed all the rules, only to be left with perfectionism, people-pleasing, and a deep sense of guilt—but no peace.

Maybe you “saved yourself” for marriage only to find that the promise of incredible sex fell incredibly short… Or you might even be realizing that you (or your partner) aren’t exactly straight.

Or maybe after leaving your religion, you’re facing family estrangement or feeling isolated & lonely because you’re no longer a part of a community.

To top it off, you probably feel disconnected from your authentic self, maybe even unsure what your wants and needs really are… or who you are without your Christian identity.

Does any of that feel familiar?

If so, I get it. Because so much of the above? That was me.

And after working with dozens of religious harm recovery clients and hearing from hundreds more online, I know at least some of this probably resonates with you too.

Why you’re probably feeling this way…

If any of the above resonated with you, there are logical reasons for why you’re struggling.

A core component of religious indoctrination is suppressing the authentic self through behavior and thought control.

It’s an intentional and coercive programming process that doesn’t just go away once you’ve gotten away from the toxic theology.

So now it’s likely you…

  • Have a tendency to second-guess yourself at every turn
  • Have difficulty recognizing and prioritizing your own needs
  • Are disconnected from your body’s natural cues
  • Hear a constant loop of “not good enough” in your head
  • Feel guilty for having boundaries
  • Have confusion around identity or sexual preferences
  • Are unable to access and fully experience pleasure

Here’s how you could be feeling.

Imagine waking up and not being immediately flooded with shame, anxiety, or that old pressure to prove your worth.

Instead, picture this:

  • You trust yourself (even when decisions are hard) and no longer need someone else’s approval to feel okay.
  • You feel at home in your body, able to experience rest, pleasure, and even joy without guilt.
  • Boundaries feel like freedom, not fear. You can say “no” and mean it without spiraling afterward.
  • Your values feel like yours — not borrowed or inherited from a belief system that no longer fits.
  • You can be curious about your identity and desires without judgment, pressure, or shame.
  • Connection feels easier because you’re no longer filtering every relationship through fear of rejection or fear of “backsliding.”
  • You’re learning to meet your needs with compassion, rather than overriding them to keep others comfortable.

Religious Harm Recovery Coaching can help release the old programming and help you live in a more peaceful, embodied, and authentic way.

Customized to Meet Your Specific Needs

Flexible Sessions to Support Diverse Needs

Religious harm recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some days you need space to unpack your thoughts. Other days, your nervous system is in a good spot to do some deeper processing.

That’s why I offer flexible session formats, so our work together matches what you actually need in terms of recovery and support.

45-Minute Cognitive Processing Sessions

Making sense of your past experiences with religious harm or processing situations in the here and now at a cognitive level.

75-Minute Deep Nervous System Recovery Sessions

A spacious container for nervous system repair. During this time, we’ll be able to incorporate tools like somatic experiencing, parts work, and EMDR to help you release the trauma stored in your nervous system.

Trauma-Informed Care

No two people process religious harm in the same way, which is why I don’t rely on a one-size-fits-all approach.

Instead, I draw from a range of clinically grounded tools and tailor them to how you best process—emotionally, mentally, and somatically.

Modalities I Weave Into Sessions:

IFS (Parts Work)

Helps you identify and heal inner conflicts, especially the harsh inner critic or exiled parts carrying shame.

EMDR

Supports the reprocessing of painful or traumatic memories without getting overwhelmed or stuck in the past.

Brainspotting

Offers a way to access and release deeply held trauma by focusing on where your body stores it.

Somatic Experiencing

Builds your nervous system’s capacity for regulation, helping you feel more grounded and connected to your body.

You really don’t need to know the technical names for these modalities or choose a specific modality ahead of time.

What matters is this: we’ll work together to figure out what feels most helpful for you.

Each session will probably look a little different because we follow what’s coming up in real-time and respond to what your body and mind actually need on the day of the session.

Common Questions

While I bring clinical training and trauma-informed tools to this work, this is not therapy, and I’m not functioning as a licensed therapist in our work together.

This is clinically-informed coaching, designed to support people recovering from religious harm using personalized strategies rooted in therapeutic principles and trauma recovery methods.

It’s especially helpful for people who have already done some therapy or feel ready to go deeper in specific areas of healing.

We’ll get a feel for this during your intake session. The most important thing is that we start with where you’re at and what feels most supportive.

I might make recommendations based on your goals and what comes up in our conversations, but there’s no expectation that we choose a specific modality or session length ahead of time.

I also want to be aware that everyone has different limitations—whether that’s time, emotional bandwidth, or finances—so we’ll choose a session length, frequency, and modality that feels doable and aligned for you.

If you’ve only looked into mental health support that allows you to use your insurance, you might wonder whether it makes sense to pay for care out of pocket.

Here’s why many of my clients say investing in Religious Harm Recovery Coaching is worth it:

  • I have advanced clinical training in EMDR, Brainspotting, Religious Trauma, and Cult Recovery, which are approaches that help us get to the root of the actual issues you’re facing.
  • I have lived experience with high-control religion, which means I already speak the language.

    You don’t have to explain purity culture, authoritarian parenting, or spiritual bypassing—I’ve been there.
  • You’ll experience deeper work in fewer sessions.

    Many clients tell me that just a few sessions with me helped them access clarity and healing they’d spent months or even years trying to reach with therapists unfamiliar with religious indoctrination.
  • Personalized, flexible support.

    Our work is tailored to you, not a treatment manual or insurance checklist.

Here’s the thing, you’re not just paying for someone to be your sounding board.

You’re investing in real recovery with someone who truly gets what you’re working through and has the tools to help you move forward.
