LGBTQ-affirming counseling for religious deconstruction in Phoenix, Arizona
Helping you find life after religion
Youβre scared - ashamed - hiding - questioning. At the very least youβre shrinking your authentic Self - in service to old stories that no longer fit.
I can help you step off the shame treadmill. (Re)claim your gender and sexuality. Recover from purity culture. Find your people, reconnect with Self and show up authentically and embodied. Sound impossible? Letβs get real.

Deconstructing can look and feel likeβ¦
Nothing makes sense anymore
You no longer feel like you fit anywhere
You donβt know who you are anymore, orβ¦
Everyone around you has changed over the past few years - and you donβt know who they are anymore
Guilt, shame and needing to hide parts of your life
Feeling depressed, anxious, or afraid - or maybe just numb
Muscle tension, abdominal pain, insomnia and brain fog
βFinding yourselfβ is actually returning to yourself. An unlearning, an excavation, a remembering who you were before the world got its hands on you.β
