You’re the One Everyone Else Leans On

You’re the person people come to when they need support. The listener. The steady one. The person who knows how to make others feel understood and held.

But when you’re the one struggling, it’s harder to trust that someone could really hold you in the same way.

Maybe asking for help feels uncomfortable. Maybe you’re not even sure you need it. So you keep going. You stay busy. You push things down.

You work hard, but it rarely feels like enough. You try to rest, but your mind doesn’t easily let you. In relationships, you begin asking for less and less. Sometimes it feels like if you really let yourself feel everything you’re carrying, it might be too much. So you keep wearing the mask of being strong—even when it’s getting heavier.

Therapy Can Be a Different Kind of Space

As the primary therapist at the As Above Collective, I understand what it’s like to be the rock for others, and how lonely that can become.

Many of us have been shaped by systems like capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy that teach us our value comes from producing, performing, and holding everything together. Therapy is often framed as a place to “fix” ourselves so we can keep doing that more efficiently.

I see therapy differently.

Therapy can be a space where you don’t have to hold it all. A space where you can be supported as you reconnect with parts of yourself you had to set aside just to move through a demanding and often unjust world.

Our work together is about creating room for your full humanity—your thoughts, your emotions, your history, and your wisdom. A place where the mask can come off, where the weight can be shared, and where you can begin to feel more at home in yourself.

You deserve a space where you don’t have to carry everything alone.

A place where you can set things down.
A place where you can breathe.
A place where you can simply be.

Learn what shifts when you feel strong enough to be held.
