Do you experience a lot of shame, anxiety, or trust issues? My main specialty is religious trauma, and whether you've experienced this kind of trauma or not, I work extensively with these sort of "trauma-adjacent" issues that affect people in their daily lives. Many folx grew up learning harmful lessons about themselves and their relationships, and now they're stuck in difficult patterns.
I've been there, and I can help. Not all therapists understand what religious and childhood trauma is like, especially "lower-case 't' trauma" when you can't point to one single explanation for why something was harmful to you. A lot of religious trauma therapists are also Christian; this doesn't mean that they're bad at what they do, but you might feel the need to work with someone from a more agnostic or skeptical worldview.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
Approach Description: I primarily use Internal Family Systems (IFS), which some people refer to as "parts work." Many therapeutic approaches assume that a person has one dominant way of thinking or feeling. IFS assumes differently. I'll help you to hold all the different parts of yourself; for example, the part of you that values your childhood experiences, and the part of you that can't relate to your younger self at all. This way of looking at the psyche can help you to improve your relationship with yourself, as you hold the tension of conflicting feelings and know that it's okay - maybe for the first time ever.
