Religious Trauma Therapy in Boulder, CO and Online Throughout Colorado

Religious trauma doesn't always look like trauma. It shows up quietly — as guilt that doesn't connect to anything you've actually done, a voice in your head that still sounds like doctrine, or a sense that your worth, body, or sexuality was shaped by something outside of you.

If you're deconstructing, have left your faith, or are carrying experiences from a religious upbringing that still affect how you think and feel — you're not alone, and you don't have to figure it out alone either.

You might relate to:

  • Guilt, shame, or fear that traces back to your faith experience

  • Difficulty trusting yourself without outside authority

  • Feeling isolated, unmoored, or disconnected from community

  • Anxiety or hypervigilance rooted in past religious experiences

There's no agenda here. This isn't about pushing you toward or away from belief — it's about helping you understand who you are now, separate what's truly yours from what was inherited, and reconnect with your own values and clarity.

I use narrative therapy, EMDR, and trauma-informed approaches to help religious trauma heal at both the cognitive and nervous system level.
