Many have experienced religious abuse within their faith communities or were abused or abandoned by faith leaders. Abuse shows up in many forms. Purity culture may have harmed your sexual self or emerging identity as gay or questioning. You may find that many parts of yourself are exiled as a result. I have worked with survivors and know the devastation this can have on one’s life and relationship to God, one’s center of worship, community, and family. It is my honor to journey with survivors in their healing and know that healing is possible.
