Religious & Spiritual Trauma Recovery

You don’t have to choose between faith and healing.

Heal What Hurt You, Keep What Healed You

Many of my clients grew up in homes or faith communities where religion was used to control, silence, or shame.
When you’ve been told that obedience equals holiness — even when you were being harmed — it can leave deep wounds that feel both emotional and spiritual.

At DayOne Therapy®, I help clients:

  • Untangle faith from fear

  • Heal from spiritual abuse, purity culture, and religious shame

  • Rebuild a sense of purpose that isn’t rooted in guilt

  • Learn emotional regulation tools (DBT) and trauma-focused CBT to reclaim inner safety

  • Redefine spirituality on their own terms

You don’t have to choose between faith and healing.
You can honor your past and release what hurt you — starting from Day One.

Story Time: How I Found the Balance

I was raised in church — every Sunday service, choir rehearsal, youth group, all of it.
Faith was part of everything we did. But as I got older, I realized that sometimes what was taught in church didn’t match how people treated each other.
I saw how religion could bring comfort and connection — but also guilt, fear, and silence.

That’s why I help clients find the balance between faith and healing — keeping what connects them to God, and releasing what keeps them afraid.
You don’t have to lose your faith to find your freedom.
