Therapy for Breaking the Mold.

Reclaim your story, your identity, your worth.

Being a person is hard.

Especially when you’ve spent most of your life making sure everyone else was okay before checking in with yourself. Especially when your sensitivity was seen as weakness—or when parts of your identity were never fully accepted.

  • Have you spent most of your life making sure everyone else was ok before checking in with yourself?

  • Has your sensitivity been seen as weakness?

  • Have you felt parts of your identity were never fully accepted?

  • Maybe you were the one your family relied on.

You don’t need to shrink to heal.

My approach is depth-oriented, relational, and trauma-aware—with space for your body, your spirit, your full story.

Why now?

Because you weren’t meant to do this alone. We’re breaking cycles. Unlearning shame. Talking openly about mental health, identity, trauma, and soul work.

You get to take up space.

You get to choose differently.

You get to heal.

Let’s talk.

Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you. It’s about creating space to feel, to grieve, to laugh, to remember who you are.
