Hello Love,

A woman with short, curly brown hair wearing a sleeveless teal dress with a woven belt, large geometric earrings, and a pendant necklace, standing outdoors near green foliage and flowers, smiling and looking to the side.

I’m Aleen (Al-een).

You’re here and I am grateful.

I’m a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience working at the intersection of power, behavior, and nervous system capacity.

I work with eldest daughters (whether or not you were literally born first) who have hustled for decades, are burnt out and are done with all of it.

My Healing Didn’t Come Wrapped in Light.

I spent decades “healing.” Doing it right. Fixing what seemed broken.

Much of it was self-inflicted striving aka internalized patriarchy dressed up as spirituality.

I gave away the teachings I’d studied for 15 years and walked straight into a dark night of the soul. I woke up to childhood trauma I thought was normal. I realized the low-grade misery I once romanticized was untreated depression.

I survived.

I chose medication. I chose truth. I chose to come home to myself.

Brilliant, capable women carrying entire systems.
Softening their clarity to preserve harmony.
Absorbing what isn’t theirs so things don’t fall apart.
Anticipating tension before it’s spoken.

From the outside

Competent.

From the inside

Exhausted.

When we peel back your layers and dive into your abyss, you come out with gems that have been taking root for your entire life. 

you hear yourself again - your Self self, not just the one who knows how to say it or do it “right”

you see yourself more holistically - your context becomes part of your equation, not another thing to overcome.

you include all of you - if extracting parts of yourself were to work it would have worked by now.

The Work I Offer

Where I come from

Clinical training and two decades of therapeutic experience.

Spiritual initiations that stripped away everything false.

Mothering two children while remothering myself.

Listening to my ancestors, the land, and my body.

You can only go as deep as the one who’s holding you has gone.

“She has this incredible ability to meet me in both the very real, human messiness of what I'm going through and the deeper, more spiritual way I understand myself and my life.”
