If you're here, maybe you've been wondering why it's so hard to set boundaries, trust yourself, or stop overthinking everything.

Maybe you’ve tried traditional talk therapy or CBT and still feel “stuck” in your head, or like you haven’t been able to let go of the constant guilt and deep shame you feel.

Hi, I’m Nina

I'm a therapist for people who are trying to find themselves again.

Questioning your beliefs can feel terrifying, liberating, and lonely all at once. I understand that from both professional and personal experience.

As a therapist, I bring that understanding alongside my clinical training in trauma and EMDR.

I'm not here to tell you what to believe or who to become. I'm here to help you make sense of your experiences and find your own way forward.

Who I Help:

You might be a good fit for therapy if you:

  • Grew up in a high control religion or cult

  • Identify as a “people-pleaser” or have a hard time setting boundaries

  • Were incredibly devout in your faith before the doubts crept

  • “Intellectualize” your emotions or feel disconnected from your body

  • Were taught “purity culture” and feel constant shame around sex and your body

  • “Deconstructed” your faith years ago, but still find yourself struggling with shame and guilt

  • Used to be homeschooled, in ministry, a missionary, or attended religious university

  • Are looking for a safe and affirming place to explore sexual identity

How Does Therapy
Actually Help

Therapy can help you understand how childhood experiences, religious trauma, complex trauma, anxiety, and past relationships may still be affecting the way you think, feel, and relate to yourself and others. Through EMDR, somatic therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and IFS-informed parts work, we can explore the roots of these patterns, process painful experiences, and develop a stronger sense of safety and self-trust.

Whether you're healing from religious trauma, spiritual abuse, purity culture, childhood trauma, or difficult life experiences, therapy can help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself. The goal isn't to change who you are. It's to help you understand yourself more deeply, heal what still hurts, and create a life that feels authentically yours.
