From high-control religion to self-sovereignty.

From sexual “dysfunction,” to embodied & whole sexuality.

My Story & Experience

I was born into a fundamentalist religious group called The Lord’s Recovery — a high-control, high-demand environment rooted in fear, shame, and rigid purity teachings.

I married young, rushed through college to have “approved” sex, and spent years silencing my doubts, desires, and true identity. My entire world was built around this system. Leaving wasn’t just difficult — it felt like losing everything.

But I did leave. I deconstructed my beliefs, ended my marriage, and rebuilt my life — mind, body, sexuality, and purpose.

That journey led me to specialize in helping others do the same.

As a former therapist and now religious trauma and sex coach, I work with individuals and couples navigating the long-term effects of purity culture, sexual shame, & high-control religion.

I bring together years of education, training, & professional experience with my own hard earned insights to help you reprogram your body, your pleasure, and your relationships — without fear or shame.

If you're looking for a coach who truly understands what it's like to heal from religious trauma and recover your sexual self, you're in the right place.
