Religious Trauma
Religious trauma happens when spiritual teachings, leaders, or communities create fear, shame, or a loss of personal freedom. The trauma experience can show up as anxiety, guilt, confusion about your identity, or feeling like you’re never “enough”. Many people also struggle with decision-making, boundaries, or trusting themselves after years of being told what to believe.
In therapy, we make space for you to explore what you were taught, what still lingers, and who you’re becoming outside of those old expectations.
Childhood Trauma or Wounding
Childhood trauma doesn’t only mean “big” events — it can also be the quiet moments when your feelings were dismissed, your needs went unmet, or that you had to grow up too quickly. These early experiences shape how you see yourself and how you relate to others.
Our work focuses on healing the parts of you that learned to survive instead of be supported, so that you can finally feel safe, grounded, and worthy.
Attachment-Related Family of Origin Issues
Attachment wounds often come from homes where love was inconsistent, unpredictable, or conditional. As adults, this might look like difficulty trusting, people-pleasing, shutting down in conflict, or feeling anxious in closeness.
Together, we explore how these early patterns formed — and how you can build relationships that feel secure, connected, and truly mutual.

Side Note:
I prioritize my efforts towards creating an inclusive environment that is anti-racist, LGBTQIA+ affirming, weight inclusive, sex-positive, feminist, pro-immigrant, neurodiversity-affirming, and disability justice-oriented. I aim to welcome all who enter my office as a safe space where you can be who you are fully. I know I won’t always get it right and when I don’t, I invite you to help me better understand how I can grow in creating a more equitable and inclusive space.
I cannot offer 24/7 intervention crisis and am therefore unsuitable to assist with active suicidality, serious mental illness, active addiction, or active eating disorder intervention. If you are a resident of Spokane, WA please call 211 or 988 for assistance finding the right care if any of the aforementioned applies to you.
