Therapy With Talia

04/01/2026

When religious trauma has you thinking every feeling needs to be approved before it’s allowed to exist…

…and then one day you realize you can actually trust yourself.

Not because all the guilt magically disappears.
Not because everything suddenly feels clear.

But because you notice the voice in your head that says
“this is wrong”
…and instead of obeying it, you pause.

You get curious.
You check in with yourself.
You choose for you.

That shift?
That’s the work.

If you’re untangling guilt, shame, or the fear of “getting it wrong,” therapy can be a place to sort through what’s actually yours vs. what was handed to you.

If this hit, you might be my kind of client.

If your brain has ever turned one tiny interaction into a 27-step emotional flowchart… you’re in good company.

A lot of my anxious, intuitive, people-pleasing clients learned to run full mental simulations before they respond to anything — texts, emails, a casual “hey, can we talk?” It’s a pattern that usually comes from having to anticipate other people’s reactions for a long time.

In therapy, we slow it down. We get curious about the part of you that’s trying to keep things calm and predictable. And we explore what it feels like to respond from a more grounded place instead of a rehearsed one.

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone — and there’s nothing wrong with the way you learned to cope.

Second-guessing your intuition doesn’t mean it’s broken. It might just mean your nervous system has been on high alert for way too long.
⠀
In therapy, we get curious about the parts of you that learned to survive by double-checking everything. You’re not crazy, you’re cautious — and there’s wisdom in that, too.
⠀
✨You can rebuild trust with yourself. It just takes gentleness, time, and a whole lot of nervous system regulation.

When a client says, “Can I just read you the texts?” …that’s when my whole face lights up. Because therapy with me isn’t about being perfectly put together — it’s about bringing in the real stuff. The awkward texts, the spirals, the “should I say this or not?” moments.

I love sitting with people in the messy, human, beautifully honest parts of their lives. We can process, laugh, and untangle it together — no judgment, no masks, no pretending to be someone you’re not.

If you’ve ever wished for a therapist who can hold the deep and the ridiculous with you… we’ll probably get along just fine.

Not everything you struggle with is a personal failing. Sometimes what you’re feeling is a response to very real harm. Therapy shouldn’t gaslight you into individualizing what’s systemic. In my work, we name the impact of oppression, honor your survival strategies, and make space for your truth without shame.

So many q***r and gender-expansive people already know who they are. What hurts is navigating a world that makes safety feel like it has to be bargained for.

Therapy can be a space to soften around that tension — to practice moving at your own pace, to hold both fear and hope, to explore what feels livable right now.

You deserve care that doesn’t demand proof of your identity, only honors your humanity. 🖤

Sometimes you don’t need a breakthrough—you just need a safe place to circle around the truth until you’re ready to meet it. Therapy isn’t about being “fixed” or perfectly self-aware; it’s about noticing your patterns with compassion.

If you’re tired of replaying the same dynamics but not sure where to start, that’s okay. We’ll take it slow—one honest conversation at a time.

Ever wondered if your attraction to the opposite s*x is genuine—or if it’s what you were told you should feel? That tug-of-war is called compulsory heteros*xuality (comphet).

Comphet can leave you doubting your own desires, staying in relationships that don’t feel right, or carrying shame for not fitting into the straight script. It’s not that anything is wrong with you—it’s that you’ve been taught to mistrust your own truth.

Therapy offers a space to untangle those “shoulds” from your real desires, grieve what’s been lost to pretending, and begin trusting yourself again. Together, we can build the confidence and freedom to live in alignment with your authentic identity.
If you’re ready to explore this, I’d love to support you.
