An investment in you.
You’ve done enough healing in the comment section.
You’ve read the books, scrolled Reddit threads at midnight, saved the posts about emotionally immature parents, and sent your friend the reel with, “Okay, this is literally me.”
It can be incredibly validating to finally have words for what you’ve experienced, but a post can’t know why your stomach drops when someone is disappointed or why your guilt gets so loud when you choose yourself.
Therapy gives us space to take all that recognition and make it personal, so you can understand your patterns and actually start changing the ones that are costing you.
Knowing why is great. Feeling different in your actual life is better.
The goal is not to become really good at explaining your trauma. It’s noticing that you said no and didn’t spiral afterward, made a decision without polling everyone you know first, or caught yourself carrying someone else’s emotions and simply... didn’t pick them up.
Then you start asking bigger questions. What do I want? What do I dream about? What would I choose if fear, guilt, and everyone else’s expectations weren’t running the show?
Little by little, understanding yourself turns into actually living like this life belongs to you.
Therapy with me is personal
I’m a feminist, a lesbian, and someone who has never been particularly good at staying quiet when I see women or LGBTQIA+ people being treated unfairly.
We can absolutely talk about the patriarchy, the toxic man in the story, the unhealed woman who passed her own wounds down, religion, family systems, or whatever else helped shape the way you learned to see yourself.
I bring more than a decade of experience, my own lived understanding of trauma, loss, and rebuilding, growing up as a liberal pastor's daughter, and a whole lot of warmth, humor, and honesty into the room.
I’ll support you fiercely, lovingly point out when an old pattern is trying to sneak back in, and keep reminding you that you are capable of creating something different.
Blue Agate Counseling is a private pay practice.
I accept cash, credit cards, and HSA cards as forms of payment.
I can provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your unique insurance benefits.
