Support for Trauma, High-Control Harm and Life Disruption
TraumaRevolution offers trauma-informed therapy and structured programs to support trauma healing, autonomy, and recovery. With the right support, insight, and practical tools—including help making sense of meaningful or destabilizing psychedelic experiences—it’s possible to move toward clarity, resolution and a life that feels aligned with who you are now, not just who you had to be to survive.
And The Day Came When The Pain Of Remaining The Same Became Greater Than The Risk To Grow.

A Grounded, Ethical Approach to Healing
Services Offered
These days, nearly every mental health professional seems to “specialize” in trauma, but the real art of therapy often gets drowned out. Modalities are emphasized as quick fixes or trendy methods, yet they’re only as effective as the therapeutic relationship supporting them. Too often, training programs skip over the subtle skills that make you feel seen, safe, and understood. For over 29 years, I’ve been dedicated to providing trauma-informed care that goes beyond rigid frameworks, focusing instead on authentic connection and support to help you move toward genuine healing. And, even though I am trained in many modalities, I don’t lose sight of the relationship in which healing happens.
Trauma
I bring a holistic perspective that rejects the confines of diagnostics and labels, and leads to work anchored in genuine compassion. Here, we forge a powerful alliance, blending education and emotional support to light your way forward. Traumatic experiences don’t have to dominate your life; they don’t have to imprison you. I am convicted that, with the right support, you can break free from those chains, moving toward a life you truly desire—one that resonates with your deepest authenticity and innate resilience. Together, we’ll ignite a transformation that feels not just possible, but something you can accomplish. In fact, I call it “difficult but doable” work.
Religious Abuse & Ex-Cult Members
Religious Abuse Syndrome and cult involvement (religious or otherwise) can cast a long shadow, leaving lasting emotional wounds. Ex-members often grapple with two profound traumas: the painful experience of being enmeshed in the group and the grief-filled process of leaving it behind. “Purity culture” can shape identity around shame and compliance, distort relationships with the body and desire, and make self-trust, boundaries, and consent harder to access long after the beliefs themselves are questioned. I understand the complexity of these experiences and provide informed, compassionate support tailored to your situation. I also support family members and friends struggling with the pain of watching a loved one become involved in a high-control group. Together, we can navigate these experiences in a safe space where your voice is heard and your experiences validated.
Plant Medicine
Recent research reveals that psychedelic plant medicines can be remarkably effective in helping people break free from the grips of depression, anxiety, trauma, and more. But this research is clear: the journey to healing with these powerful tools requires skilled, knowledgeable support. That’s where I come in. I work with plant medicines, providing a safe, informed space for these experiences to unfold, guiding you toward profound transformation and healing.
A harm reduction approach in psychedelic work prioritizes informed choice, realistic education, attention to power and context, and ongoing support to minimize risk while honoring each person’s autonomy and lived experience.

‍ What Makes This Program Different?
This is not a one-size-fits-all recovery model or a rigid step-by-step program.
The work integrates trauma education, nervous system awareness, practical coping tools and reflective exploration in a way that is grounded, relational and emotionally honest.
Rather than focusing only on symptoms or diagnoses, the program helps participants understand the deeper impact of trauma, coercion and disrupted attachment while rebuilding self-trust, clarity and personal agency.
The approach is informed by over 25 years of trauma-focused clinical work along with specialized training in complex trauma, dissociation, DBT, EMDR, parts work, psychedelic integration and recovery from high-control systems.
