Have you struggled to feel safe in spiritual communities that once provided a sense of belonging?
It's truly agonizing when a space that was once a sanctuary of safety and belonging now feels threatening, leaving you unable to express yourself authentically and be truly seen by those who are supposed to support and nurture you.
Our spiritual communities are intended to serve as bridges connecting us to both our inner selves and the divine. I understand the deep wounds and lasting effects that spiritual abuse can have on an individual's well-being. I'm here to offer you compassionate and specialized therapy services designed to address your unique needs and experiences.
Reclaim your dignity and birthright as beloved and worthy of belonging.
You are worthy of belonging and your dignity is non-negotiable. Unfortunately, these are the very places that spiritual abuse particularly assaults. In my work with clients, we will uncover the insidious ways that spiritual abuse has violated your very birthright of being beloved and move to reclaim your dignity and sense of connection to the divine.
Don't let the pain of spiritual abuse hold you back any longer. Healing is possible, and you deserve to live a life free from the burdens of spiritual abuse. I would be privileged to walk alongside you on this healing path.
WHAT WE’LL DO TOGETHER
Counseling for spiritual abuse can help you:
Clarify the impact of your harm
Because spiritual abuse often happens in community, it can be challenging to recognize it while immersed in such environments. We will explore and identify your particular harm and the impacts in your life.
Grieve your particular harm
We will grieve what you are worthy of and were looking for in your spiritual community that was likely used against you and ultimately perpetuated your harm. This can be difficult but is necessary for healing and deeply honoring to your pain.
Reclaim your dignity and worth
As your spiritual abuse is engaged with clarity and kindness, we will move towards reclaiming and restoring how your dignity and worth have been assaulted so you are free to live a more integrated and connected life.
