Women Navigating Family Estrangement

You grew up in a family where you learned to be the responsible one. The caretaker. Now, you're ready to trust yourself and build healthier relationships with your family.

You're navigating distance or estrangement from a parent or sibling, questioning what healthy connection could look like after years of emotional strain. You deeply value family, yet you feel exhausted by old roles that required you to stay small, manage others' feelings, and ignore your own needs to keep the peace.

My Approach

I offer trauma-informed somatic therapy for women navigating family estrangement and boundary challenges. Together, we focus on nervous system regulation, so change happens through lived experience, not just insight.

You may arrive to therapy feeling conflicted about:

• Wanting growth, without cutting family off impulsively

• Wanting to take responsibility for your part, without abandoning yourself in the process

• Wanting closeness, yet needing to create boundaries that honor your autonomy

• Wanting peace, yet carrying anger and grief that keeps you feeling stuck in old patterns

• Wanting to trust your own perspective, yet second-guessing yourself when family pushes back

Sometimes redefining healthy connection can also mean choosing distance when patterns of harm or chronic disrespect continue.

From there, we explore what's possible: staying at a distance, finding a new kind of closeness, or working toward repair with intention.

You're ready for this work if you're reflective, curious, and willing to actively participate in your healing with presence and honesty.
