Family First – A Private Healing Invitation Introduction

🌿 Healing Starts at Home

Family has always been at the center of who I am — and that sense of connection has only deepened over time. Like many families, ours has moved through the full range of experience: love and loss, silence and reconnection, strength and sorrow. Some bonds have healed. Others are still finding their shape. And many are unfolding in ways we couldn’t have predicted.

What changed things for me — especially after years of academic study — was realizing this:
The most meaningful thing I could do for the people I love
was become aware of the patterns I’d inherited —
the ones I adapted to without even realizing.
Once I had language for those cycles,
I could finally begin to shift them.
Not just for me, but for everyone around me — my immediate family, my extended family, and my chosen family too.

This journey hasn’t been about blame or shame.
It’s been about clarity. About learning how to recognize what helped us survive — and gently questioning what no longer serves us.

I know my family to be compassionate. I know we care deeply. And I believe we are capable of growth.
We’ve always found ways to show up for each other, even when words failed. Now, I want to offer something more — something grounded in insight, care, and choice.

This isn’t about who got it right or wrong.
It’s about offering support that meets people where they are — with respect, humility, and hope.

Because the more we understand ourselves, the better we care for each other.
And when one person becomes more aware, it opens the door for all of us.

When You Participate, You Pay It Forward

Through our Family First Program, every contribution made by a family member goes directly into our Community Care Fund — making sliding scale sessions available to others in need.
That means your healing is a bridge for someone else’s.

We are no longer just the ones who needed support — we are now part of creating it.

FAMILY FIRST – A PRIVATE HEALING INVITATION Access

Individualized, Not Family Therapy

What You Can Access

This is not family therapy — it’s individualized care for family members, offered in a private, respectful, and intentionally designed way:

Discounted one-on-one sessions (virtual)
Access to healing series and psychoeducational tools
Custom sessions or identity-based arcs
Professional confidentiality and healthy emotional boundaries

How We Keep It Safe

Healing with family in the background takes nuance. This space honors that.

No need to talk about other family members
Sessions are sacred — not casual, not gossipy
No outside-of-session “emotional venting” — we’ll set healthy boundaries together
Emotional honesty is welcomed; pressure is not

This is a space where you can be heard as you — not as your role, your mistakes, or your old story.

A Sliding Commitment Model That Honors You

Session Rates & Structure

To make this accessible without diminishing the labor of healing, we use a tiered pricing model:

First Session

$45

A gentle entry point. We’ll focus on building safety, understanding your story, and clarifying what support looks like for you — not your role in the family. No pressure, no performance, just space to land.

Second Session

$65

Deeper connection. Now that trust is forming, we’ll begin tailoring your care — whether that means processing family dynamics, exploring identity, or navigating boundaries. You guide the pace.

Ongoing Series or Future Sessions

$100+

Sustainable growth. Whether you continue one-on-one, join a themed series, or explore custom arcs, you’ll receive care that’s structured, trauma-informed, and deeply validating — all without the clinical coldness or family triangulation.

(Market rate is $175–$225 — you’re getting professional care at a fraction of the cost.) This isn’t charity. It’s strategy — a way to show up with commitment while respecting your financial reality.

A Message About The Grounded Series

I know we didn’t grow up with a clear understanding of trauma, emotions, or the nervous system. When things were hard, we got quiet, or we prayed. But that doesn’t mean we weren’t affected — it just means we didn’t have the tools.

The Grounded Series is here to change that — not with jargon, but with plain truth and compassionate support. It covers the real stuff: burnout, family fatigue, identity loss, spiritual confusion, and the pressure to keep it all together.

This isn’t “therapy speak.”
It’s your real life — finally explained in a way that makes sense.

💛 A Final Word

You don’t need a degree to grow.
But having someone who understands what it’s like to live in the tension between love and distance? That can make all the difference.

This isn’t about blame. Or fixing what’s already shaped us.
It’s about naming what was never named.
It’s about choosing something better, even when no one else is ready.

Change doesn’t come from perfect families.
It comes from the ones who are willing to look at the hard stuff and say:
“This ends with me.”

So if something in this page resonates — even if it makes your chest ache a little — trust that.
It means a part of you still believes things can be different.

This offering is for you.
Not because you need to be “healed.”
But because you deserve the language, the support, and the space to finally stop carrying what was never yours.

You mattered then. You matter now.
And if you’re ready — even just a little — there’s a path forward.
