Real help for real people living with the after effects of high-control religion & purity culture.
Work with a sex therapist-turned-coach to fully unshame, & reclaim yourself & your life.
Filling in the gap in the religious trauma space
There’s a growing awareness around religious trauma and spiritual abuse — and more therapists and coaches are stepping in to help people untangle the harmful effects of evangelical and fundamentalist upbringings. That’s a good thing.
But here’s the truth: most people aren’t equipped to help with the sexual fallout. The shame. The aversion to sex. The disconnect from your own body. The confusion or shut-down in your relationships. This is where so many survivors get stuck — and where I come in.
I bridge the gap between religious trauma recovery and embodied sexual healing.
With 8 years of experience as a sex therapist (even longer as a general therapist), plus my own lived experience growing up in a high-control community, I bring both clinical expertise and personal understanding to this work.
Now, as a coach and educator, I help individuals and couples undo the damage of purity culture and reconnect with their sexual selves — in ways that are healthy, shame-free, and fully their own.
Whether you're dealing with low desire, performance anxiety, fear of intimacy, or simply don't know where to start, I’m here to support your full healing — including your sexuality.
I’m a former licensed religious trauma and sex therapist turned coach, consultant, and guide for the real relationships & real people who are healing from religious trauma, purity culture, and the lingering effects of high-control environments.
I spent over a decade working in the therapy world — and there were countless beautiful experiences in that container. But the deeper I got into the system, the more I realized how often it required me to work within boxes that didn’t reflect the whole truth of human experience.
Leaving licensed therapy was one of the most aligned decisions I’ve made. It allowed me to offer the kind of work I believe in: intuitive, liberatory, relational, and real. No diagnoses. No insurance codes. Just honest, grounded support for your healing and expansion.
Coaching with a holistic approach
Work with someone who understands
My experience with high control Christianity, young marriage, parenthood, and deconstruction has led to several years learning about the complex harm done to us in that space. I know what it’s like to live inside rigid systems built on shame, fear, and control. I also know how powerful it is to break free — and to rebuild your life from a place of deep self-trust.
“Raised in a conservative Evangelical setting, I had a very negative and fear-filled view of sex. I also naively thought I should just wait until my wedding night to start learning and mentally preparing myself. Thankfully, I came across Halli’s coaching services six months in advance, and she was a game changer for me. By recommending books for my specific situation, suggesting different tools, strategies, and frameworks, my entire mindset shifted for the better.”
