Trauma therapy in Spokane, WA and Washington State for Religious Trauma, PTSD, Identity Reconstruction, and Relational Healing
Do you have experiences that tell you a story about who you are?
That you’re broken.
You’re too much.
In order to be liked, you have can’t be yourself.
It’s your job to be responsible for everyone else— their feelings, their comfort, their lifestyle — and you’re so tired of feeling like you don’t get to exist.
We all have experiences that tell us a story about who we are. Some stories are bigger than others and impact us in different ways.
Some of those stories come from parents that didn’t make us feel cared for or loved. Other times they come from a community that never let you be your authentic self. And some stories come from such deep hurt and betrayal that it’s hard for you to even want to talk about it.
These stories are making life pretty hard. You can’t maintain friendships, you feel like you’ll never succeed, you’ve become your mom or dad and you hate it.
It’s only by going back to those places of pain that we’d rather avoid that we can begin again. We have to look at the stories you’re living out of to even begin to create new ones.
But you’re not alone. I’ll go with you and we’ll figure it out together.
You might be here if you’ve experienced:
Religious Trauma or Church Hurt
Faith Deconstruction
Spiritual Confusion
Identity Reconstruction After a Life Transition
PTSD or Unresolved Trauma
Childhood Wounds that Affect Life Today
People-Pleasing or Difficulty Setting Boundaries
Anxiety, Disconnection, or Emotional Overwhelm
Relationship Patterns that Feel Hard to Change
Therapy isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about getting into the nitty-gritty of the patterns that helped you survive — and deciding what helps and what sabotages.
Our work is fully collaborative, deeply relational, and paced to help you integrate what you learn about yourself. We don’t rush because healing takes time.
You may wonder if you have to have it all figured out to start therapy. You don’t. You just have to be willing to start.
In our work, we may talk about:
The fear of stepping outside of your church’s authority and the impact of spiritual bypassing
The loneliness of stepping away from a community that once felt like home (whether family or religious community)
The ache of having relational ruptures and wondering “What’s wrong with me that people don’t stay with me?”
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
How to reconstruct your sense of identity after years of abandoning yourself
Addressing the chronic stress and trauma that keeps you stuck
“Our wounds are the openings into the best and most beautiful parts of us.”
—David Richo
