Does This Sound Like You?
You replay conversations in your head, wondering if you said too much, did something wrong, or missed a sign that something has changed.
A delayed text, different tone, or little bit of distance can send your mind into overdrive.
Even when you get the reassurance you were looking for, the relief doesn’t always last.
You want closeness, but sometimes when someone gets too close, you feel the urge to pull away, shut down, or protect yourself.
Keeping the connection can mean giving too much, overexplaining, people-pleasing, or putting your own needs aside.
It can be hard to trust that someone will stay, even when there isn’t necessarily evidence that they’re leaving.
Different relationships somehow end up feeling strangely familiar, leaving you wondering, “Why does this keep happening?”
You don’t have to keep figuring these patterns out on your own.
What Changes in Therapy
-
Instead of realizing afterward that you’ve been spiraling, shutting down, or falling into an old pattern, you begin noticing what’s happening while it’s happening and have more choice in what comes next.
-
A delayed text, change in tone, disagreement, or moment of uncertainty doesn’t have to take over your entire day. You learn how to move through difficult emotions without becoming consumed by them or shutting down.
-
You spend less time questioning every feeling, decision, or interaction and become clearer about what you need, what you want, and what actually feels right for you.
-
You learn to communicate more directly, set boundaries with less guilt, tolerate closeness without losing yourself, and build relationships that feel steadier and more mutual.
Hi, I’m Mina.
Finding the right therapist isn’t just about finding someone who understands what you’re going through. It’s also about finding someone you feel comfortable being yourself with.
You don’t need to have the right words or know exactly where to start. My style is warm, conversational, and collaborative. I’ll ask thoughtful questions and help you connect the dots so you can better understand yourself, your patterns, and what you need moving forward.
Whether we’re exploring attachment, complex trauma, relationships, identity, or the experiences that shaped you, there’s room here for curiosity, honesty, humor, and simply being human.
You’re welcome to show up exactly as you are.
