Build self-trust, healthier boundaries, and more balanced relationships.

Many of the women who find their way here have spent years being the responsible one, the peacemaker, the caretaker, or the emotionally aware one in their families and relationships.

You may struggle with people-pleasing, over-giving, self-doubt, or a constant pull to manage other people’s emotions, even when it costs you your own needs and well-being.

Both groups offer a trauma-informed, relational space to slow down, understand why these patterns developed, and begin practicing something different. We focus on building self-trust, strengthening boundaries, increasing emotional awareness, and learning how to stay connected to yourself while in relationship with others.

This is not surface-level coping skills. These groups are grounded in nervous system education, attachment-based work, and real-time relational processing, while still offering structure, guidance, and practical tools you can take into your everyday life.

Below, you can learn more about each group and decide which space feels like the best fit for where you are right now.

Hi, I’m Alyssa - a therapist, group facilitator, and someone who knows what it’s like to put everyone above yourself and then feel depleted.

I created these groups because I’ve seen - both personally and professionally - how hard it is to untangle yourself from putting other people first, feeling deeply responsible for their emotions or moods, and never quite feeling like enough, no matter how much you give.

As a relational trauma therapist, I specialize in working with women that grew up in emotionally immature or parentified dynamics, that struggle with codependency in their relationships, chronic anxiety, self-abandonment, people pleasing, perfectionism, and the deep desire to feel more secure in themselves and their relationships. The women who’s nervous systems are always on high alert, the ones who rarely take up space, and carry deep exhaustion at the end of the day.

My approach is warm, honest, and grounded in nervous system-informed, compassionate care. In group, I show up as a real person - someone who will hold space for your pain and challenge you to grow. Together, we’ll build self-trust, become boundaried, learn how to prioritize your needs, and create more authentic balanced relationships where you no longer feel secretly resentful or exhausted.

I’ve been creating and running groups for over 8 years - both skills groups and process groups! While I love individual therapy, nothing beats healing in connection and community with a group of like minded women on the same journey of self love honestly. To feel less alone, less shame, and to feel empowered by your peers not just a therapist - it’s deeply impactful. We’d love to welcome you into one of these ongoing relational groups!!

Each week we discuss the challenges that show up in our lives (along with the wins), learn to untangle unhelpful thinking and patterns, and gain deep support/feedback from peers


Learn about your behaviors, needs, and journal to develop new insight and tools

I often have journal prompts to further your insight and understanding and then we will come together as a group to discuss, process, explore, and share with one another about the challenges we face and giving each other support, understanding, and accountability.
