Healing happens in the space where you no longer have to hold your story alone.
Story work, Parts of Self integration, and Trauma Therapy in-person in Spokane, WA and via telehealth in WA State
If you’re here, there’s probably a part of you that’s tired — tired of holding everything alone, tired of trying to make sense of the stories you were given, and tired of feeling like you should be “over it” by now.
I want you to know that nothing about your pain is unreasonable. Nothing about your confusion is wrong. And you absolutely do not have to carry it by yourself.
Many of the people I work with come from religious or family environments where questioning wasn’t safe, emotions were labeled as weakness, and attachment wounds were covered with dismissive language. Maybe some of that feels familiar to you. Maybe you’re trying to sort out where your voice ends and someone else’s expectations begin.
My work centers on gently untangling those knots — together.
I specialize in supporting people who are healing from religious trauma or navigating religious deconstruction, working through the ways childhood experiences impacts one’s adult life, and exploring how old wounds show up in their relationships today. This isn’t about blaming your past. It’s about understanding it with enough compassion and honesty that you can finally breathe again.
In our work, we may talk about:
The guilt that shows up even when you know you haven’t done anything wrong
The fear that something bad will happen to you if you stray from old teachings
The loneliness of stepping away from a community that once felt like home
The ache of having relational ruptures that make closeness feel both comforting and terrifying
The parts of you that long to be seen, but learned to hide in order to survive
The way people-pleasing served you but now seems to sabotage you
