For many of us, the story of our faith and the story of our identity have lived in two different worlds. You may have spent years navigating environments where belonging was conditional—where your worth was measured against rigid expectations, and your true self was something to be managed, hidden, or "fixed."

Perhaps you’ve reached a point where the cost of that performance is too high. You are left with the fragments of a belief system that once provided comfort, but now feels like a source of profound disconnection. You are not just looking for a new label; you are looking for a way to reconstruct a life where your faith and your sexuality are no longer at war.

Religious trauma often leaves behind a specific kind of grief. It is the loss of a community, a shared language, and a sense of cosmic safety. In our work together, we create a soft place to land to explore these fragments without judgment.

I hold deep care for those navigating spiritual abuse, church hurt, or wrestling with their faith. I hope to offer a space where your beliefs, questions, doubts, and sense of meaning can be explored freely-at a pace that honors your story, without pressure or agenda. I welcome clients across the spectrum-devout, questioning, deconstructing, spiritual, or non-religious.

You can find me in person at my Loop or Humboldt Park locations, or we can meet from the comfort of your own space via telehealth.
