Hey, I’m Mariah — a trauma therapist who keeps it real. I help emotionally exhausted men and women heal from toxic relationships, stop overthinking everything, and actually feel like themselves again. If you're stuck in a cycle that’s draining you or constantly wondering if you’re the problem (spoiler: you’re not), I’m here to help you get unstuck and take your power back.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Most clients walk into their first session with me feeling like they’ve been holding their breath. You don’t need to have it all figured out — just show up. Our first session is about exhaling, sharing what you’ve been carrying, and being met with honesty and compassion. No pressure to perform, no need to be the strong one — just a space to finally feel seen and understood.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is that I get it — both professionally and personally. I’ve worked with trauma, high-achievers, and toxic dynamics for over a decade, and I’ve lived it too. I see past the “I’m fine” and hold space for the messy, real stuff. I’ll be honest with you, challenge you, and walk with you through it — not just to cope, but to actually heal.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

You're the one everyone counts on. You’ve built a life that looks good on paper — the degrees, the job, the independence. You’re successful, smart, and capable. But behind closed doors, you’re emotionally drained, second-guessing every decision, and stuck in relationships that leave you feeling more confused than loved. You’ve spent years taking care of everyone else, being the “strong one,” the “fixer,” the one who doesn’t need help — until you quietly started falling apart. Maybe you’re lying awake at night replaying old conversations, wondering if you were too much… or not enough. Maybe you're scrolling through texts, dissecting every word they said or didn’t say. Maybe your chest feels tight every time your phone buzzes, because you never know what version of them you’re going to get. And you’ve started asking yourself, Why do I still miss them when I know they hurt me? You're not crazy. You're not broken. You're living in survival mode from years of walking on eggshells, keeping the peace, and silencing your needs. That kind of emotional exhaustion doesn’t just go away with positive affirmations or pretending it doesn’t bother you. I work with people just like you — the high-achievers, the perfectionists, the ones who had to grow up too fast. The ones who learned to perform instead of feel, to intellectualize instead of trust, to stay quiet to avoid conflict. You’ve been surviving, but you’re ready for something more. You're ready to finally feel like you again — calm, clear, grounded. If you're tired of feeling stuck, if you want to stop repeating the same patterns, if you want to feel confident in your decisions, your relationships, and your damn self — let’s talk. It’s time to stop shrinking for people who never saw you clearly. Healing starts here.
