FAQs
A personalized, trauma-informed counseling experience that helps you rediscover who you are and build tools to navigate life’s transitions with clarity, courage, and compassion.
Is this therapy or coaching? What’s the difference?
You’re wondering: Will this go deep enough for my pain? Or is it just motivational talk?
Answer:
“This is not formal psychotherapy, but it’s definitely not surface-level either. My approach blends elements of counseling, life coaching, and guided self-reflection all anchored in empathy and emotional safety. It’s deep work, held gently.”
Is this worth the price?
You’re wondering: Will I really get something lasting from this, or will I feel like I wasted money?
Answer:
“You’re not paying for quick fixes, you’re investing in clarity, healing, and forward movement. Many clients have told me one session gave them more insight than months of trying alone. I honor your time, your trust and your wallet.”
Will this actually help my situation?
You’re wondering: My life feels complex will you really understand?
Answer:
“No two stories are the same, and I don’t offer cookie-cutter answers. But I’ve worked with people across different cultures, life stages, and challenges and I’m committed to meeting you with care, not assumptions.”
What if I don’t feel comfortable opening up?
You’re wondering: Will I feel safe, or will this be like every other space where I have to protect myself?
Answer:
“There’s no pressure to perform or spill everything. This is a space for truth, not perfection. You set the pace. I’ll meet you there.”
What happens after the session or program ends?
You’re wondering: Will I be left hanging?
Answer:
“You won’t be left alone. There are gentle next steps like check-ins, group circles or deeper work if you want to continue. No pressure just an open door when you need it.”
Do you have professional training?
You’re wondering: Is this a passion project or a practiced path?
Answer:
“Yes. I pursued formal counseling training after walking my own healing journey. My work is rooted in lived experience and structured practice including tools from CBT, self-awareness frameworks and identity-based approaches.”
YOU ARE NOT ALONE :
I don’t know where to start, everything feels tangled.
You feel overwhelmed because your emotions, memories, expectations and inner voice are all jumbled.
You want clarity, but trying to untangle it alone just leads to overthinking and more confusion.
Reassurance:
Re-identification approach starts small and slow. It helps you pause, breathe and take one gentle step at a time like learning to sit with your story, not run from it. Even a free journal prompt or one clarity call can help feel like you’re finally moving.
I’m afraid I’ll be judged or misunderstood.
Many clients are high-functioning and carry shame about “not having it together.”
They’ve tried to speak before and been shut down, spiritualized or given shallow advice.
Some fear being labeled dramatic, too sensitive or broken.
Reassurance:
My tone, story and space are the opposite of judgment. I see the person behind the pain, not just the performance. I’ve been there too and not afraid of people’s messy, beautiful middle.
I want to do this, but I’m too busy / emotionally tired / unsure.
You don’t trust you have the energy to show up for something new even if it might help.
Life already feels like too much. And taking on one more thing feels impossible.
Reassurance:
This work is designed to meet you exactly where YOU are. You don’t have to be “ready” or anything but real. One hour, one question, one small space is enough to begin.
YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING
I should be able to figure this out on my own.
Root fear: Asking for help feels like failure.
What you’re really saying: “Am I weak for needing this?”
Response:
“Needing clarity or support doesn’t make you weak, it makes you human. Re-identification isn’t about handing your power away; it’s about reclaiming your voice with guidance, not judgment. Sometimes we just need someone to help hold the mirror.”
I can’t afford it right now.
Root fear: Finances are tight, and self-work feels like a luxury.
What you’re really saying: “Is this worth the sacrifice?”
Response:
“I get it! Life is expensive and prioritizing yourself can feel selfish. But what if this is what makes everything else lighter? There are flexible options, intro sessions, and even free tools to begin with. You’re not alone and you’re not locked out.”
Will it actually work for me?
Root fear: You’ve tried before and felt disappointed.
What you’re really saying: “What if I hope again… and it still doesn’t help?”
Response:
“I understand the fear of trying and not feeling seen, it’s painful. But this is not a one-size-fits-all model. We move at your pace, with your story in mind. No performance. No pressure. Just presence.”
I don’t have time for this
Root fear: Life already feels overwhelming.
What you’re really saying: “What if this becomes another thing I fail to commit to?”
Response:
“You don’t need to overhaul your life to begin. Re-identification offers small, doable shifts. Even a 60-minute space held with care can bring the kind of relief you’ve been chasing for years. This work honors your current capacity.”
I’ve already tried therapy/self-help/journaling; nothing changes.
Root fear: Hopelessness.
What you’re really saying: “Is there really anything left for me to uncover?”
Response:
“Sometimes it’s not what we try, it’s how we’re held in the process. Re-identification doesn’t push you toward productivity; it walks with you into identity, memory, and growth. This work is different. You don’t have to heal alone anymore.”
POSSIBLE SUSPISIONS
They’ll treat me like a project, not a person.
You suspect that once you open up, you’ll be analyzed, labeled or pushed through a pre-made system and not truly seen.
❝ I don’t want to be another case file or a checklist in someone’s success story. ❞
Response:
It’s about presence, not pressure. I sit with your story before trying to solve it. We co-create the healing, not dictate it.
They’ll promise change… but leave me hanging when life gets hard.
You worry that once the group ends or the payment clears, the support fades. You’ve had people walk away before maybe in life and in healing spaces.
❝ I’ve been ghosted before by friends, by therapists, by leaders. I need someone who won’t disappear. ❞
Response:
Trust is built over time with consistency. This space is intentionally small and gentle, not high-pressure or mass-market. I honor process not just outcome.
They’ll use buzzwords and jargon but won’t help me make real-life changes.
You suspect you’ll walk away with a head full of insights but no grounded shifts in how you feel, speak, relate or live.
❝ I don’t want more theory. I want to stop breaking down at night. I want to recognize myself again. ❞
Response:
My work is practical and heart-centered. I bridge soul and structure with focus is on becoming, not just knowing.
They’re just in it for the money.
This one is huge especially for many who have been overpromised and under-supported. They’ve seen people build businesses off others’ pain.
❝ I need to know you care more about people than payments. ❞
Response:
I lead with care. I share my story, not to sell, but to relate. I offer low-cost entry points and make it safe to test the waters without huge commitment.
