“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” - Audre Lorde

Rebellious Wellness is where healing means unbecoming who you had to be and becoming who you truly are.

For the ones who’ve always had to hold it together:

To the outside world, it might look like you have it all together. Maybe you’re the one others count on or the one who keeps things moving. But on the inside, you may be carrying worry, self-doubt or the constant fear of letting someone down. Somewhere along the way you have had to learn how to hold it all, even when you needed support too. If this resonates, you are not alone. 

Therapy can be a space where you don’t have to keep doing that alone. Together we can gently untangle what’s been weighing on you and make room for a life that feels more aligned, supported & true to who you are. You deserve more than just getting by.
