Therapy for Boundaries, People-Pleasing, & Codependency
Online in California
Who I Work With
You already know the difference between relationships that fill you and ones that deplete you. You’re just tired of choosing the second kind.
If you grew up managing a parent's moods, keeping the peace in your family, or being the "easy" one who didn't add to the stress, you probably learned to read a room before you learned to ask for what you needed. Some people call this codependency. Others just know it as always putting everyone else first.
That might look like:
You're the one everyone leans on, and you don't know how to stop.
You're in or trying to leave a relationship that takes more than it gives.
You keep ending up with people who can't meet you emotionally.
You struggle to set a boundary without guilt, so you often don't set one at all.
You're succeeding by every external measure but feel disconnected from yourself underneath it.
You're ready to stop losing yourself in your relationships and start making room for what you need, too.
Meet Nabilah
Trauma-Informed Psychotherapist
My clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and easy to talk to. Therapy with me is collaborative and honest. I'll help you make sense of the patterns that keep showing up in your relationships, reconnect with yourself, and practice doing things differently in ways that feel sustainable and authentic to you.
If any of this sounds like you, I'd love to connect and see if we're a good fit.
Ready to Begin?
You don't have to keep choosing relationships that drain you. If you're ready to set boundaries, break the people-pleasing pattern, and build connection that actually gives back, I’d love to hear from you.
How Therapy Can Help
You already know where these patterns started. What's usually missing isn't more insight. It's help actually doing something different: saying no without spiraling, asking for what you need, and building relationships that don't drain you.
I work particularly with women and women of color, and I welcome clients of all genders, sexual orientations, and backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ clients.

What to Expect
Therapy Services
Therapy with me is active and collaborative. We’ll look at what’s happening in your life today while also making sense of the experiences and relationships that shaped the patterns you keep finding yourself in.
In session, we might slow down to understand what comes up when you try to set a boundary, get curious about the part of you that feels responsible for everyone else, or make space to figure out what you actually want. The goal isn’t just to understand your patterns. It’s to help you respond differently when they show up in your life.
Session Length & Scheduling
I offer individual therapy exclusively online for clients throughout California. Sessions take place through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform, so you can meet from the comfort of your own space.
Individual sessions are 50 minutes.
The Therapy Process
step 1
Free Consultation
A brief call to discuss your concerns and see if we’re a good therapeutic fit.
step 2
Intake Session
The first session where we explore your history, understand your current challenges, and begin shaping your goals for therapy together.
step 3
What Happens After the Intake?
From there, we’ll continue exploring the patterns that brought you to therapy while practicing new ways of responding to them. Our work will evolve as your needs and goals change.
Ongoing Therapy & Growth
Through ongoing sessions, we’ll continue exploring the patterns that brought you to therapy, practice new ways of responding to them, and make space for what changes as our work unfolds.
Therapy looks different for everyone, and we’ll continue checking in about what’s helpful and where you want to focus our work.

Good Faith Estimate
Beginning January 1, 2022, federal law requires health care practitioners to provide current and potential clients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) on the cost of treatment. This law ensures transparency about treatment costs and protects clients from surprise medical bills.
You don’t have to have it all figured out to take the first step.
