💥Big News: I’m Now Certified in Discernment Counseling! 💫

🪐 I’m excited to share that I’ve officially become certified in Discernment Counseling, a powerful short-term process designed to help couples on the brink of separation gain clarity and confidence about the future of their relationship.

This approach is especially supportive for couples where one partner is leaning out of the relationship and the other wants to preserve it. Discernment Counseling isn’t about solving relationship problems — it’s about deciding whether to try.

This certification allows me to offer more structured, compassionate, and effective support to couples in complex, high-stakes moments.

If you or someone you know is facing the difficult question of whether to stay or go, I’m here to help — without pressure or judgment.

Let’s navigate the crossroads together.

You deserve more. You deserve better. Your voice matters.

You never know who is watching your light for hope. 🕯

That text you didn’t answer? The holiday you spent in calm solitude instead of chaos? The screenshot you saved of a therapist’s tweet about gaslighting? These aren’t just personal wins, they’re revolt manuals for the woman still trapped in her mother’s narrative. She’s watching your “selfish” boundaries like they’re hieroglyphics, decoding hope from your posts.

Narcissistic families thrive on silence. They gaslight entire lifetimes into “drama,” weaponise fawn responses as “family loyalty,” and call survival instincts “overreacting.” But when you share how you stopped apologising for existing, or laugh about the absurdity of their double standards, you’re not just healing, you’re crowd-sourcing liberation. That meme about narcissistic mothers’ backhanded compliments? It’s a secret handshake. Your no-contact anniversary post? A beacon screaming, “The air is cleaner out here, keep walking.”

Yes, your path is messy. Some days, victory is ignoring a hoovering email. Others, it’s sobbing because a friend said, “You deserved better,” and realising you believe them. But every raw, unedited step teaches the woman in the shadows three truths, guilt is not a moral compass, “selfish” is often code for “free,” and the family you build can heal the family you lost.

They tried to convince you your truth was fiction. Now? Your story is a roadmap. That woman biting her tongue during her mother’s latest “woe is me” performance? She’ll remember your post about grey-rocking and finally mute the group chat. The girl who thinks she’s “too broken” to be loved? She’ll screenshot your caption about secure relationships and text it to her therapist.

Keep going. Not just for you, but for the chain reaction you’ve unknowingly ignited. Every time you choose authenticity over the role they assigned you, every time you prove that rage can morph into resolve, you’re holding the door open wider for those still gathering the courage to walk through.

The daughters are rising. And your light makes their path visible.

We Stand with the Trans Community

In light of the recent passage of yet another anti-trans bill (TX HB 3399), we want to be unequivocally clear: we do not support this legislation—and we never will.

Our practice affirms the dignity, humanity, and rights of all trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive people. These harmful laws do not reflect truth, compassion, or justice. They cause real harm. We grieve the impact they have on mental health, safety, and access to care—and we remain committed to creating a space where trans individuals and families are not only safe, but celebrated.

To our trans clients, colleagues, and community: you are seen, valued, and fiercely supported here. Always.

🌿 Protecting your peace is a radical act of self-care. It’s okay to say no, to set boundaries, to step back from chaos—even if others don’t understand. You don’t owe anyone access to your energy. Protecting your peace isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. ✨

Recovered survivors of trauma aren’t “picky”—they’re fierce guardians of the peace they nearly died to claim. After years spent drowning in a narcissistic mother’s chaos—her jealousy, her sabotage, her relentless need to compete with your light—you’ve learnt the cost of tolerating toxicity.

This isn’t about judgment. It’s about survival. You didn’t claw your way out of the fog of gaslighting, grieve the mother you needed, or rebuild your nervous system from ash to let conniving patterns back into your sanctuary. Narcissistic systems thrive on drama, but your healing thrives on stillness.

Let them call you “cold” for refusing to play their games. Let them spin tales of your “arrogance” because you no longer shrink to soothe their egos. Every boundary you set isn’t avoidance—it’s defiance. Proof that you’ve traded survival mode for sovereignty, and you’ll burn bridges before letting anyone drag you back.

To everyone protecting their peace like the sacred flame it is- Your boundaries are a revolution. Keep guarding them.

🌿 Reminder: Rest is not a reward — it’s a necessity. Your body, mind, and heart all need space to pause and recharge. If you’re feeling stretched thin, give yourself permission to slow down. You’re allowed to rest. 💛
