Psychotherapy &

Mindful Movement

for recovery from

spiritual abuse | religious harm | high-control groups


At the intersection of spiritual wounds and emotional healing, I provide specialized therapy for those navigating the complex aftermath of religious trauma, spiritual abuse, and cult experiences.

Your story matters. Through narrative therapy, we'll work together to reframe your experiences, reclaim your voice, and author a new chapter in your life journey—one where you define your own meaning and purpose.

My integrated approach combines:

Whether you're questioning your religious upbringing, healing from spiritual manipulation, or rebuilding your life after leaving a high-control group, this is a space where your experiences will be validated, your boundaries respected, and your healing journey supported.

Recovery isn't just about processing what happened—it's about rediscovering who you are beyond the narratives you were given and reconnecting with your authentic self.


I work with adults of all ages. I am queer-, kink-, and poly-affirming and am committed to creating an affirming and brave space for neurodiverse folks.

Sessions are available online throughout Massachusetts and in-person in Sagamore Beach, Massachusetts.
