Religious Trauma Therapy & Church Consulting in Phoenix, Arizona
Healing the Wounds Faith Communities Leave — One Person and One Organization at a Time.

I'm looking for therapy
You may be leaving a faith community, recovering from spiritual abuse, or carrying wounds you've never had the right language for. This is a space where that story is welcome.
I lead a church or organization
You want your community to be a place that heals rather than harms. I offer consulting, training, and education for faith communities serious about becoming trauma-informed.
There is Gap in How We Talk About Faith and Trauma
Faith communities promise belonging. For many people, that promise breaks, through spiritual abuse, authoritarian leadership, shame-based teaching, or a community that couldn't hold the full truth of who someone is.
What comes after that breaking is rarely simple. It's grief, and disorientation, and sometimes relief, and often all three at once. And it tends to happen without much support — because the people who might have helped are inside the system that caused the harm.
I built my practice around that gap. The work I do with individuals, and the work I do with organizations, both start from the same place: the belief that what happened to you matters, that communities are capable of change, and that healing — real healing, not managed silence — is possible.

From the work
I'm developing a theoretical framework for how the clinical and faith communities understand religious trauma — and writing about what both have gotten right, and wrong, along the way.
Essays, clinical reflection, and resources coming here — and eventually, more.
