You struggle with setting boundaries and naming what you actually want. Deep down, you know there’s more potential to access in your relationships, your self-worth, your work. But you never quite feel grounded or fully seen. There are parts of you you haven’t even met yet. Maybe you’re in spiritual, kinky, or BIPOC spaces where you feel both seen and unseen. You’re tired of making yourself small to fit. You want boundaries that feel empowering and not guilt-ridden. You want connection without self-abandonment. You’re ready to get out of your own way.
I help folks unlearn the roles they were taught to play- especially the fixer, the caretaker, the overachiever. My approach is direct, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, & rooted in modalities such as mindfulness, somatic work, CBT, humanistic, and kink affirming. I help you find language for what you’re experiencing & build a true relationship to self
Therapy with me is about getting honest. If you’re done performing emotional labor for everyone else and ready to finally choose you, I’m here for it. You don’t have to water yourself down to be worthy. Let’s figure out what coming home to yourself actually looks like.
