Relationships. Patterns. Trauma.

Where insight meets real change.

You might find yourself:

• replaying conversations or interactions
• feeling unsure in connection, even when things seem “fine”
• needing reassurance to feel grounded
• creating distance when closeness starts to feel overwhelming
• feeling emotionally disconnected, shut down, or on edge
• noticing yourself moving between wanting closeness and needing space
• carrying experiences from the past that still shape how safe connection feels

For some, these experiences are connected to attachment, how closeness, trust, and emotional safety were learned in earlier relationships.

For others, they are shaped by trauma, identity, or environments where parts of you may not have felt fully seen, supported, or safe.

What Begins to Shift in Therapy

You Recognize Patterns Earlier

You become more aware of your thoughts, emotions, and reactions as they happen, creating room to respond differently.

Relationships Feel More Secure

You begin communicating more clearly, establishing healthier boundaries and experiencing closeness with greater trust.

Emotions Feel More Manageable

You learn to move through activation, uncertainty, and emotional intensity without becoming consumed or shutting down.

You Develop Greater Self-Trust

You understand how the past may influence the present while feeling clearer about your needs, choices, and sense of self.

Hi, I’m Mina.

Finding yourself on a page like this usually means something has been feeling off, in your relationships, in your thoughts, or in how you’ve been carrying things on your own.

You don’t need to have the right words for it or have everything figured out.

You’re allowed to show up exactly as you are.

I approach this work through an inclusive, anti-oppressive lens and offer a space where your identity and lived experience are respected and valued.

If you’ve been trying to make sense of what’s been coming up for you, we can take the time to sort through it together in a way that feels steady and manageable.

When you’re ready, you’re welcome to reach out or book an appointment.
