What if….you could live free from the guilt that Toxic religion taught you to carry?

What if….questioning your beliefs was actually a sign of your inner strength?

What if….your worth wasn’t tied to your ability to follow religious rules?

What if….you could Learn to trust your own voice?

What if….you could find peace even in the midst of uncertainty?

What if….your anxious thoughts didn’t have to control your life?

The path to freedom begins with curiosity
— Unknown

Hi, I’m Josh, and I help people heal from religious trauma so they can rediscover their true selves and live with confidence, freedom, and joy.

Leaving behind the beliefs and systems that once defined your life is no small feat. It’s a journey filled with both uncertainty and hope, where old fears and anxieties often linger, but the promise of freedom and self-discovery beckons.

You may have been taught to doubt yourself, to suppress your emotions, and to see your worth through the lens of external expectations. But what if you could unlearn these beliefs? What if you could reclaim your voice, your feelings, and your sense of self?

Imagine a life where you are the hero of your own story—a life where you trust in your inner wisdom, embrace the unknown with confidence, and show yourself the kindness and compassion you deserve.

At Fostering Hope Counseling, I’m here to help you navigate this journey. Together, we can explore the possibilities these questions open up, uncover the strength within you, and work towards a life that is true to who you are.

Whether you’re struggling with the remnants of religious trauma, battling anxiety, or simply seeking a path forward that feels authentic and empowering, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

It’s time to turn these “what ifs” into realities.
