about dontea’
therapist, podcaster & speaker
Hey hey! I'm so glad you're here. If you're feeling like you're too much and not enough at the same time, I get it.
If you worry that speaking up for your needs will push people away, I understand.
If you find yourself constantly changing who you are to fit into every new relationship, you're not alone. These were my struggles too.
I've felt the sting of trying to be everything for everyone else and losing myself in the process.
But there's a way out of this cycle. I've learned to navigate these feelings quicker and with more confidence, and I want to share these insights with you.
Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck. I'll listen without judgment, show you kindness, and offer practical insights to help you break free.
how it started
“Step into relationships as your true self—valued, confident, and boundaried”
For me, this whole thing started because I kept finding myself in the same type of relationships—emotionally unavailable men who I thought would see my worth if I just helped them enough and waited long enough.
Breaking that cycle was a game-changer, and it made me realize I wanted to help other women do the same.
I want to empower you to connect with emotionally mature men who truly honor and respect your needs.
To make that happen, I’ll guide you in identifying your true inner needs, clarifying your values, and overcoming the anxiety and depression that might be holding you back.
As you get to know yourself better, you’ll restore your self-esteem, learn to communicate your needs clearly, and recognize those healthy connections when they come along.
Together, we’ll build the foundation for the fulfilling relationships you deserve. And I mean relationships across the board - family, friends, co-workers & bosses.
I decided to start an online private practice to reach as many people as possible, offering the comfort and convenience of connecting from home.
The details: I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist and have been practicing since 2013.
