Therapy for Healing

I am welcoming to clients of all race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, class, ability, language or cultural background. LGBTQIA+ affirming!

What to Expect

Religious trauma therapy often looks different from traditional therapy, especially for clients recovering from fear-based belief systems, shame, or spiritual abuse.

Therapy begins with assessment. This includes getting to know and understand the problems, goals, and desired outcomes you hope to achieve in therapy.

The working part of therapy will include building internal skills for noticing what is happening inside, evaluating external supports, and completing interventions for change.

The process will differ based on your unique history, goals, and circumstances.

Consider what you need to feel comfortable in session. Take your shoes off, bring a warm drink, use a blanket. Let’s work together to determine what helps you feel the most supported and at ease while you are here.

It’s always ok to question and discuss therapy length, focus, frequency or continuation.

You have a right to a second opinion, to change therapists, or to terminate therapy. If you have concerns about how therapy is going, I really want to know! It is my goal to help you get the help you need- and sometimes that means strategizing the best options for you.

How to be an informed therapy consumer

Therapy can be a healing, helpful experience for many clients. Due to the sensitive nature of therapy, perceptions of professional credentials, and the exchange of money for treatment it is important that clients be informed consumers.


Here are a few important notes regarding the ethics of therapy:

    • Therapy should be time-limited, address a specific issue and move toward agreed-upon goals.

  • The therapist should have knowledge and experience working with client’s stated treatment goal. If not, they should refer or be seeking supervision from an expert to offer appropriate care.

    • Therapists should avoid dual relationships. They should avoid sharing personal information about themselves, and not invite clients to socialize outside of session.

    • A therapist should not give directed advice or impose personal opinions or beliefs onto your circumstances. Therapists should help clients make decisions and choices for themselves.

  • A therapist should never put a client down, call them stupid, gullible, or blame them for their pain.

  • If clients feel unsupported or uncomfortable with a therapist they should be encouraged to address the concerns or to switch providers for a better fit.

  • A therapist should never engage in sexual behavior with a client.
