Welcome to Recasting Religious Trauma!

I am a psychotherapist, a mom of two little kids, and a writer. In this space, we explore issues related to religious trauma, ex-evangelicalism, and mental health.

I specialize in the treatment of complex trauma, and I believe religious trauma is a kind of complex trauma due to how deeply religious influences can shape and alter our sense of selves and ways of being in the world.

Why subscribe?

In this newsletter, we explore the ways that high-control religion has shaped us while developing new ways of understanding ourselves that enable genuine, healthy connections to self and others. I combine irreverence, snark, and self-disclosure with accessible mental health talk.
