Meet Mindi
If you’re here, you probably know a bit of my story because it might feel like yours, too.
I’ve lived a life shaped by other people’s stories and old myths—beliefs that told me I wasn’t enough, that doubt and self-criticism were facts, not feelings. My journey to today? It was messy, uncertain, and full of the kind of hard work that doesn’t guarantee an easy fix. But I learned that change is possible and that unlearning those lies is within reach. And if it was possible for me, it’s possible for you too.
I’m here not just because I understand the struggle, but because I believe in the power of that possibility. Therapy is a space where your truth can grow, free of judgment or pressure to fit someone else’s script. It’s a place where you can reclaim your voice, reframe those old myths, and build a narrative that feels real and right. If you’re ready, I’m here to walk alongside you as you take that first step into a life that’s authentically yours.
Real Grounded Therapy: Your Guide to Healing
At Real Grounded Therapy, I offer trauma-informed, client-centered therapy that helps adults of all genders reconnect with their authentic selves. My practice is rooted in compassion, empowerment, and real conversations—no judgment, no quick fixes, just a safe space to do the work.
As a therapist and survivor, I specialize in helping individuals process trauma, rebuild bodily autonomy, set healthy boundaries, and reclaim their voice. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, sexual trauma, relationship challenges, or simply seeking clarity, I meet you where you are—with strength-based support tailored to your unique story.
My approach combines evidence-based techniques, real-life experience, and deep empathy to help you move through what’s holding you back and step into a life that feels grounded, intentional, and truly yours. Sessions are available in-person, virtually, or outdoors with nature as part of the healing process.
Healing isn’t linear—but it is possible. If you're ready to start, I’m here to walk beside you.
