Ready to start your healing journey?
Book a session today and connect with a therapist who truly sees you. At She Heals Within Therapy, we offer compassionate, culturally-aware support tailored to the layered experiences of high-achieving women. This is your space—for honesty, softness, boundaries, and everything you’ve been holding in.
Individual Therapy
This is your space—one where your story matters. Therapy is a place to bring the parts of yourself you've kept quiet, the questions you’ve carried for years, and the exhaustion of always holding it all together. Together, we’ll explore your inner world at your pace, making room for your voice, your truth, and your needs. This work isn’t about fixing you—it’s about helping you feel seen, understood, and more fully yourself
My Approach
I’m not here to give you quick fixes or tell you to just “let it go.” I’m here to help you understand yourself in a way that’s deep, honest, and transformative. Therapy with me is a space where you can tell your story, explore what’s been weighing on you, and finally start making choices that feel true to you. It’s real, it’s reflective, and it’s about reclaiming your voice.
My Ideal Client
Many of my clients are high-achieving and high-functioning individuals who tend to excel in various areas of their lives. They’re often seen as dependable, driven, and put-together. They value self-awareness and are committed to doing the deep work, knowing that meaningful change takes time. Even with all their strengths, many of the people I work with are silently struggling—navigating life transitions, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, anxiety, or a lingering sense of disconnection from themselves. Therapy becomes a space where they can finally slow down, speak honestly, and come home to who they are.
What to Expect
We’ll start with a free 15-minute consultation call to see if we’re a good fit. If we decide to work together, the first session will be an intake where we’ll review your background, complete paperwork, discuss fees or insurance, and set therapy goals. After that, we’ll schedule regular sessions based on what feels right for you.
What Im like as a therapist
I’m calm and curious, creating a space where you can feel safe to explore whatever’s on your mind. I’m straightforward but gentle—honest without being harsh. Therapy with me is anything but stuffy or scripted; I bring realness and a bit of humor when it feels right. I won’t “mhmm” you to death like the therapist in Freaky Friday. Instead, I aim for a collaborative relationship where we work together, challenge what needs challenging, and honor your pace and story.
Therapy for Trauma
Trauma isn’t always tied to a single event. It can come from years of emotional neglect, being parentified too young, navigating cultural or generational pressure, or simply never feeling fully seen or safe. What matters most is how those experiences live in you now—how they show up in your thoughts, your body, your relationships, and your ability to feel grounded.
Trauma affects everyone differently. There’s no one “right” way to respond, and there’s no checklist you have to meet in order for your pain to be valid. My approach is never about forcing you to relive the past—it’s about understanding where you are today, what your nervous system needs to feel safe, and working at your pace with compassion and care.
Common Signs of Trauma You Might Be Carrying
Feeling disconnected from yourself or emotionally numb
Struggling to trust others or feeling on edge in relationships
Over-apologizing or shrinking to avoid conflict
Chronic guilt, shame, or feeling like you’re “too much”
Trouble relaxing, sleeping, or feeling safe in your body
Overworking, overthinking, or staying constantly busy
Feeling stuck in patterns you can’t quite explain
What Trauma Work Looks Like
You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. Our work together starts with building safety—both in the therapy space and in your body. That might look like slowing down, getting curious about your emotional patterns, and learning to notice what triggers you without judgment.
I don’t push or pathologize. Instead, I support you in reconnecting with your voice, your boundaries, and the parts of you that had to go quiet to survive. We go at your pace. Together, we’ll work toward healing in a way that feels grounding, not overwhelming.
Therapy for Relational Issues
Our earliest experiences teach us how to show up in relationships—what’s safe to share, when to stay silent, how much of ourselves we’re allowed to be. Maybe you learned to keep the peace, to over-function, or to take care of others before even noticing your own needs. Over time, those patterns start to feel like who we are. But they’re not fixed—they’re learned. And that means they can be unlearned, too.
In therapy, we’ll explore not just how you relate to others, but how you relate to yourself. The way we speak to ourselves, set boundaries, trust our intuition, and make space for our own needs is deeply connected to the relationships we’ve had—with caregivers, partners, friends, and even culture itself. This work is about rebuilding that inner relationship so you can move through the world with more honesty, clarity, and self-respect.
Common Signs of Relational Struggles
You feel anxious or avoidant in close relationships
You second-guess your needs or feel guilty setting boundaries
You often feel like you’re “too much” or “not enough”
You shrink or over-function to keep the peace
You have trouble trusting others—or yourself
You fear abandonment, rejection, or disappointing people
You lose yourself in relationships or feel disconnected from who you are
What Relational Work Looks Like
We’ll start by looking at the patterns—not to judge them, but to understand where they came from. This isn’t about blaming your past, but about making sense of it so you can move differently in the present. Together, we’ll explore how you’ve learned to relate, where those habits may be limiting you now, and how to create more authentic, balanced connections—with others and within yourself.
Therapy becomes a space to practice showing up differently: speaking your truth, staying with your discomfort, honoring your own needs. Over time, you’ll build a more solid inner foundation—so you’re no longer outsourcing your worth to how others see you.
Therapy for People-Pleasing & Perfectionism
People-pleasing and perfectionism aren’t personality traits—they’re strategies. Often learned early, they helped you feel safe, accepted, or in control. Maybe you learned that being “easy,” helpful, or high-achieving was the way to earn love. Maybe you were praised for being mature or selfless and internalized the message that your needs didn’t matter.
Over time, these strategies can leave you exhausted, disconnected from your true self, and unsure how to say no or let people see the real you. You might look “together” on the outside but feel overwhelmed or unseen underneath. This work isn’t about fixing you—it’s about understanding the role these patterns have played, and gently learning how to relate to yourself with more care, honesty, and self-trust.
Common Signs of People-Pleasing & Perfectionism
You feel anxious or guilty when setting boundaries
You overextend yourself but struggle to ask for help
You fear disappointing others or being perceived as “difficult”
You feel like you have to earn rest, love, or permission to slow down
You tie your worth to your productivity or achievements
You second-guess yourself constantly and feel like you’re “never enough”
You avoid vulnerability out of fear it will make you look weak or messy
What This Work Looks Like
We’ll begin by getting curious about where these patterns came from—without judgment. In our sessions, we’ll explore the pressures you’ve internalized, how those messages were reinforced, and how they continue to shape your sense of self today. The goal isn’t to strip away your ambition or your care for others—it’s to help you untangle those qualities from self-sacrifice and over-functioning.
As we work together, you’ll learn how to listen to your needs, create boundaries that reflect your values, and stop measuring your worth by what you do for others. This is about learning to be more of you—not less.
