Alienation can take many forms. It may come from a childhood where your emotional needs weren’t met. It may show up as feeling like a stranger in your own family, or feeling cut off from parts of your identity due to societal or cultural pressures. For some, it stems from experiences of parental alienation, where loyalty binds or conflict left you caught in the middle. For others, it’s the slow ache of having never truly felt known.

In our work, we move slowly and relationally. That might include talk therapy, parts work, or somatic therapy practices to reconnect to a sense of self that may have been buried for safety. If you're carrying shame, confusion, or grief about not belonging, or if you’ve never quite had the words for it, we’ll begin there. My practice doesn’t rush toward resolution. It offers space for integration, so you can start to feel more connected, not only to others, but to yourself.
