Religious Trauma Therapy in Las Vegas for Healing Shame, Anxiety, Fear, and Loss of Self-Trust
You might be considering religious trauma therapy because something from your past religious or spiritual experiences still feels unresolved. This may show up as anxiety, shame, guilt, identity confusion, or difficulty trusting your own thoughts and feelings.
This work offers a supportive space to explore those experiences and begin reconnecting with your own sense of identity, values, and self-trust.
Who Religious Trauma Therapy is For
This type of therapy may be a good fit if you are:
Recovering from high-control, fear-based, or rigid religious environments
Experiencing shame, guilt, or anxiety related to past beliefs or teachings
Struggling with identity, autonomy, or decision-making after leaving or questioning a faith system
Feeling disconnected from yourself or unsure what you believe anymore
Working through loss of community, belonging, or support systems
Wanting to rebuild trust in yourself and your own internal voice
My Approach
In religious trauma therapy, we focus on understanding and processing the emotional, psychological, and relational impact of past religious or spiritual experiences. My approach is trauma-informed and supportive, helping you explore experiences of shame, fear, and identity disruption at a pace that feels safe.
I integrate attachment-focused therapy and parts work to help you understand the protective patterns that may have developed in response to these experiences, so you can begin rebuilding self-trust, emotional safety, and a stronger sense of identity.
I integrate a range of evidence-based and experiential approaches, including:
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a trauma focused and somatic approach that helps identify and process deeper emotional and physical experiences stored in the brain and body. It can be especially helpful in accessing and healing deep rooted trauma and experiences that impact how you respond to the world around you.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR is a structured therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing or traumatic experiences so they feel less emotionally charged and more integrated over time.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Attachment work explores how early relationships and experiences shape the way we connect with ourselves and others today. This helps us understand relationship patterns and emotional responses in a deeper way and allows access to early aspects of our lives that may need support in feeling secure in self and in our relationships.
Parts Work (IFS-informed)
Parts work helps us understand the different “parts” of ourselves that show up in different situations; including parts of us that may use shutting down, lashing out, over thinking, obsessing or worrying as ways to protect self. Instead of fighting these parts, we work to understand and support them.
DBT-Informed Skills
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills support emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and navigating intense emotions in a more grounded and effective way. These tools, including mindfulness can help you feel more stable in moments of overwhelm and support an overall sense of gratitude and peace.
Animal-Assisted Therapy
Animal-assisted therapy incorporates the calming presence of my emotional support pet into the therapeutic process, which can support grounding, emotional regulation, and feelings of safety in session.
