Becoming Parents Intensives offer new and expecting parents a safe, supportive space to explore hopes, fears, and attachment styles. Gain practical tools, a stronger partnership, and a personalized plan for facing parenthood together—no advice overload, just clarity and connection.

Estrangement Intensives offer a gentle, structured space for family members to name what hurts and consider a path forward—without pressure to reconcile or assign blame. Sessions are trauma-informed and focus on safety, honesty, and clarity, with every step paced to protect your well-being.

Estrangement isn’t about winning or punishment—it’s a last resort, chosen for survival, not spite. In this post, I explore what it means to practice humane estrangement: setting boundaries with compassion, holding space for our pain and our parents’ humanity, and refusing to weaponize our absence. There’s a way to step back with dignity, to heal without hardening. If you’re navigating the distance between yourself and an emotionally immature parent, you’re not alone—and there’s hope for both growth and gentleness on this path.

Why are we still shrinking girls to fit?
“Pick me girl.” “Not a girls’ girl.”
Today’s teens face a new breed of purity test—old anxieties in TikTok language—where belonging means staying small and different means being labeled.
On my therapist blog, I break down the real psychology behind these labels, how they keep girls anxious and isolated, and what parents (and teens themselves) can do to break the cycle.
If you’re tired of watching smart, bold girls get punished for being themselves, this post is for you.
