Faith Transition Therapy

You may be here if:  

• You are experiencing fear or isolation in doubting religion and don’t know who you can confide in.    
• Your personal values conflict with the values you have been taught.   
• When expressing concern to others you have been told to ‘pray it away’ or similar one-liners that have not helped.   
• You feel disconnected from the church community because of who you are.   
• You have experienced religious trauma or abuse.     

Questioning faith is like pulling a tablecloth out from under a set table. Will the silverware and plates go flying off of the foundation that they knew for so long? Will they wobble a bit before being more stable than ever before? Either way, in a faith crisis there are moments of doubt and uncertainty before you reach security.     

It is natural to question the world around us as our perspectives shift and we gain more information. Integrating new information as we grow is a sign of healthy development. I want to give you a place to find the best way to live true to your beliefs. Sometimes the most helpful thing I can provide is a non-biased space for you to explore what you want. Let’s find out what you value, not what the church has told you to value.   

I recognize that faith transitions and explorations can be especially difficult for those in the LGBTQ community. As an LGBTQ-affirming therapist, I am experienced in providing a harbor for those who are trying to find peace with who they are to be able to live more authentically.
