I’ve gathered my favorite guest podcast interviews here, all in one spot. These episodes dive into leaving high-control religion, processing trauma, and rebuilding trust in yourself. Whether you’re navigating your own journey or you’re here as a therapist seeking resources, there’s something here for everyone.

I’m a licensed therapist and the heart behind Inner Compass Counseling & Consultation. I specialize in religious trauma, faith transitions, and helping people reconnect with who they really are. My passion comes from both professional training and personal experience, having navigated my own journey through a high-control religion.

I deeply believe in creating safe, supportive spaces where tough conversations can happen with kindness and honesty. Joining podcasts is something I genuinely love as it gives me a chance to share openly, offer insight, and hopefully help listeners feel less alone wherever they’re at on their path.
