Welcome, I’m Nina!
I’m so glad you’re here.


Religious trauma can make you question everything. Your identity, your worth, even your ability to trust your own thoughts.

You might feel anxious, guilty, stuck, or like you’re always doing something wrong. You may struggle with people-pleasing, fear around making decisions, or a sense that something still has a hold on you.

I help adults in California heal from religious trauma using EMDR and trauma-informed therapy, so you can rebuild trust in yourself and create a life that actually feels like your own.

Whether you're questioning your beliefs, unpacking purity culture, or trying to understand why this still affects you, you don’t have to do this alone.

Religious Trauma Therapy

When faith has caused harm or no longer feels like home, it can be confusing and lonely. You deserve space to question, grieve, and heal. I support you in working through religious wounds, releasing shame, and reconnecting with who you are and what matters to you.

EMDR Therapy

EMDR is an evidence-based trauma therapy that helps your brain reprocess painful memories so they feel less overwhelming and reactive. Over time, triggers soften, negative beliefs lose their grip, and you can move through life with greater calm, clarity, and self-trust.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy is a space where you can set down the weight you’ve been carrying and show up exactly as you are. Together, we gently work through trauma, identity, relationships, ADHD, perfectionism, and burnout in a way that is affirming, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your lived experience.

How Does Therapy
Actually
Help

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you.

It’s about helping you understand what happened and how it shaped you.

  • Reduce anxiety and emotional overwhelm

  • Process traumatic memories using EMDR

  • Rebuild trust in yourself

  • Develop a sense of identity outside of religion

  • Create a life aligned with your values

You may look like you're doing fine on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck.

Maybe you were taught to ignore your needs, suppress your emotions, or prioritize others at your own expense.

Now, you’re trying to figure out who you are without those rules and it feels confusing, scary, or even lonely.

This is where therapy can help.

About Me

Hi, I’m Nina.

I’m a therapist specializing in religious trauma, EMDR therapy, and anxiety, and I’m passionate about helping people heal from high-control environments and reconnect with themselves.

My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative. I understand how deeply religion can shape identity, relationships, and self-worth, and how difficult it can be to untangle that.

You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin.
