Therapy for Boundaries & Complex Relationships
Centering Queer, Trans, and Questioning Folks
You're the one people turn to.
You’re caring, intuitive, and people feel comfortable opening up to you.
But lately, you’re exhausted.
Some of your relationships are weighing on you. This might show up with:
Family: You might find yourself walking on eggshells, shifting into “caretaker” mode, or editing parts of your life to be what they need. You might end calls or family events overwhelmed or drained.
Friends: It’s meaningful to be someone’s chosen family, but it can feel heavy when you’re trying to figure out your own life too. Some friendships may feel one-sided.
Partner(s): Supporting them is a priority for you, but it’s stressful when their energy shifts and you don’t know how to help. You may also notice that your own hobbies, self-care routines, or friend circles have wound up on the back burner.
These patterns might leave you on edge and disconnected.
You want to work on setting limits and honoring your own needs, but it’s scary.
You may be figuring out who you truly are or what you want in life and relationships.
Setting boundaries might leave you feeling guilty, like a bad person. A little part of you might worry, “Will they still want me around? Am I asking for too much?"
Centering others can be a survival skill.
As a queer or trans person, you may have learned to be the supportive friend cheering on other people's crushes, or the model “son” or “daughter” performing your assigned gender so well no one could question you.
Masking neurodivergence, navigating an unpredictable family, or operating carefully as a person of color can also make this skill run deep.
More is possible.
It’s possible to cultivate balanced, fulfilling relationships that restore and uplift you.
You deserve just as much as everyone else.
It's possible to connect deeply and stay grounded in your authentic self.
Learn to confidently make space for your needs and feel truly seen in your relationships

Some people I work with resonate one or more terms like:
HSP (Highly Sensitive Person)
Empath
People pleasing
Healing from narcissistic abuse or unhealthy relationships
Complex trauma or intergenerational trauma
Healing codependency patterns
Masking neurodivergence (and learning to unmask)
Adult children of emotionally immature parents
Fawn response
Others find these terms limiting, or not the right fit.
In my experience, even when clients notice shared patterns, their stories and healing paths are always unique.
If certain terms feel helpful, we can use them, as tools for clarity, validation, or community.
If they don’t resonate, we can leave them behind.
