Have you been hurt by church or by religion? Has religion been used as a weapon against you? Harm done in the name of God, Jesus, or faith of any kind has the power to cause great damage. You may feel betrayed, manipulated, misunderstood, or devalued. Religious harm or abuse can happen in many ways, including supporting (directly or indirectly) domestic abuse, gender discrimination, marginalization of the LGBTQ+ community, financial manipulation, racial discrimination, or sexual abuse from clergy.
Helping clients cope with and heal from experiences of religious harm is the main focus of my counseling work and research. You may be struggling with issues of faith and deciding whether or not to leave your religious community. You may be suffering from depression, trauma, or feelings of worthlessness due to your experiences.
Healing from religious harm is available, and I am here to help you. While religious harm is my specialty, I also provide counseling services for a wide range of other concerns. Call or email me today so we can begin the healing process.
