Religious Deconstruction

It often begins with something in your life that does not match with how you were raised or what you have followed for many years. A journey of questioning your world view and the shared reality of your faith community can be overwhelming, isolating and disorienting. 
Religious deconstruction is a deeply personal and transformative journey, and it can be challenging to face the uncertainty and emotions that arise as you explore new perspectives. 

What is Religious Deconstruction?

Religious deconstruction refers to the process of critically examining and reevaluating one's religious beliefs and practices. For many, this journey can feel like dismantling the framework of their faith and questioning everything from doctrine to personal experiences with religion. While this process can be unsettling, it also offers an opportunity for healing, growth, and redefinition of what spirituality means to you.

How Can Counseling Help?

Whether you're questioning long-held religious convictions, reevaluating your spiritual identity, experiencing an existential crisis or seeking clarity on your personal values, individual counseling for religious deconstruction can provide a supportive, non-judgmental space to process these experiences. Everyone who goes through the religious deconstruction process ends up in a different place, but share the need for clarity, insight, safe exploration, and healing from religious trauma. Having a major shift in identity, worldview and potentially community is a major life change, and feeling alone is the biggest impediment to successfully coming out the other side to a new and expansive chapter of your life. My goal is to come alongside you so you don't go through the process alone. Let's work together to help you find peace, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose and meaning as you navigate this transformative chapter of your life.
