Virtual Therapy for
Religious Trauma &
Deconstruction
Reclaiming Your Truth, Your Voice, and Your Wholeness
Put a finger down if….
You grew up being told exactly who you had to be—what to believe, how to act, even how to feel—and now that you’ve stepped away, you’re left untethered, like the ground beneath you has vanished.
The anger is visceral. The grief is heavy. You oscillate between rage at what was taken from you and deep sorrow for the version of you that believed it all so fully.
Shame follows you like a shadow. You were taught your body was dangerous, your desires were sinful, and your doubts were a failure of faith. Now, even in freedom, the echoes of those messages still whisper.
Relationships feel fraught. Some loved ones see your deconstruction as betrayal. Others preach at you, convinced you’re "lost." You’re exhausted from defending your humanity.
You’re haunted by what happened to you—spiritual manipulation, purity culture’s damage, exploitation masked as "God’s plan," or the quiet violence of being told your suffering was "a test."
Part of you is terrified: If I’m not who they told me to be… then who am I?
If this is your story…
Your Story Is Valid!
What you’re feeling isn’t chaos—it’s the aftermath of being fractured. And you can put yourself back together—on your terms.
Religious Trauma Therapy That Honors Your Courage
The Journey Back to Yourself
I’ve walked this path too. My own spiritual deconstruction was equal parts liberation and grief—the dizzying freedom of no longer performing faith, paired with the loneliness of realizing how much of my identity had been handed to me, not chosen.
But here’s what I learned: There is life after unraveling. And it can be more authentic, more compassionate, and more alive than anything you were promised inside those walls.
Together, we’ll:
Name What Happened to You
Spiritual abuse, corruption, and exploitation (the sermons that weaponized fear, the leaders who demanded unquestioned obedience).
Purity culture’s legacy: sexual shame, disembodiment, and fractured self-worth.
The hidden harms of mission trips, volunteer labor, and systems that prioritized conversion over consent.
The betrayal of prosperity gospel, spiritual narcissism, and faith that demanded your silence in exchange for "blessings."
Grieve What Was Lost (and What Never Was)
The community you thought you had. The version of God you loved before fear crept in.
The years spent policing your own thoughts, desires, and questions.
The relationships that couldn’t survive your awakening, and the ones you struggle to forge on the other side of deconstruction
Reclaim What’s Yours
Your body: As yours. Worthy of safety, pleasure, and autonomy.
Your voice: No longer stifled by "submit" or "don’t cause division."
Your spirituality: A connection to wonder, meaning, or sacredness defined by you and for you—whether that includes faith, nature, art, or simply your own breath.
The Nuances of Healing from High-Control Faith
Religious trauma isn’t just about doctrine—it’s about power.
In our work, we’ll explore:
Attachment wounds: When love was conditional ("God won’t love you if you leave") or authority figures demanded enmeshment.
Purity culture’s fallout: Sexual dysfunction, guilt around pleasure, or feeling like a "stumbling block" just for existing.
Social survival: The exhaustion of code-switching between "believer" and "outsider," or the terror of being outed as "doubting."
Reconstructing morality: Building an ethical compass not rooted in fear, but in your deepest values.
What Changes When We Work Together?
Reclaiming life on your terms
Imagine:
Releasing shame like a weight you didn’t realize you were carrying.
Trusting yourself to discern what’s true for you—not just what you were told to believe.
Setting boundaries with religious family or communities without crumbling from guilt.
Discovering spirituality (or secular joy) that feels expansive, not imprisoning.
Feeling whole in your relationships, your body, and your choices—no longer fractured by "shoulds."
This work isn’t about rejecting faith. It’s about coming home to yourself
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
If you’re ready to heal—not with more doctrine, but with deep compassion—let’s talk.
