At Iron Minds, I incorporate a philosophical approach to help individuals heal and grow from trauma.

Using perspective from my lived experience with both religious trauma and trauma associated with catastrophic injury and life-altering disability, my knowledge about trauma gained through therapy services rendered to me and professional training and certification in peer mentoring for trauma recovery, and the challenging, motivating works of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca and Epictetus, Iron Minds seeks to help others build Stoic strength

Iron Minds provides a variety of services and resources, including individual support via video chats, structured programs for building resilience, and a workbook available for independent study

I use education and empathy to help others deconstruct from similiar theology that harms hearts and minds.

Every deconstruction journey is different. But if you're from a fundamentalist evangelical flock, we bear similar scars of indoctrination. Taking apart what's left of our faith and finding freedom from the fear and shame of religion involves exploring the roots of Yahweh, the Bible, and Christ from an academic perspective. Next I dive into how we ended up with the narrative we were taught. After exploring the natural world- and ourselves- outside of God, I analyze the trauma inflicted by toxic theology, and help others work toward healing. 

If you've been taught that looking outside the scriptures and pews for truths about the world endangers your eternal soul, deconstruction can be scary. I respect your journey and understand your trauma. Indoctrination with fundamentalist faith can leave lasting scars. 

What if the scriptures could be viewed from an academic perspective with no apologetics involved- Would they hold up or crumble under the weight of critical analysis?
