      <image:title>Narcissistic Abuse Recovery - You are not broken.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Narcissistic abuse can leave you feeling irreparably damaged. You may not recognize yourself anymore — the things you used to know about yourself, what you want, what you feel, what you trust, can feel impossibly far away. We work at a pace that honors wherever you are. Whether this is the first time you have reached out for support, or you have been in therapy before and are looking for something different, I will meet you where you are.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Relationships and Attachment Therapy - Change happens through relationship.</image:title>
      <image:caption>There is a myth in self-help culture that we have to "do the work" first and then go out and find a relationship — as if security can be developed in a vacuum. It cannot. There is no amount of solo therapeutic work that will fully prepare you for the vulnerability of real connection if you stay in isolation. The spirit of "love yourself first" is valuable, but only insofar as it is practiced in relationship. The therapeutic relationship is the first step in changing your relationships. We use what happens between us, and the relationship you begin to build with yourself within that space, to soften the edges of vulnerability, so you can experience the connection you have always craved. You do not have to do this alone.</image:caption>

      <image:title>BPD and Personality Disorder Therapy - Personality is the bedrock of identity.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Honestly? I am clinically opposed to the idea of a "personality disorder." Personality is personality — shaped by genetics, environment, culture, biology, and the particular circumstances of how you came to be you. The label carries stigma that often does more harm than good, and it tells you nothing useful about how to actually help you. What I believe instead is this: understanding your personality — the specific traits that make you who you are, how they developed, and how they are showing up in your relationships and your life — is the key to everything. Not fixing you. Understanding you. We begin with a thorough assessment to get a real picture of your personality structure. From there, we look at how your traits are working for you and where they are getting in the way — and we build a treatment approach around who you actually are, not a diagnostic category. The goal is not to make you into someone else. It is to help you understand yourself so fully that you finally stop working against yourself.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Lacey - Hi, I’m Lacey.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I don’t see you as broken or needing fixing. I see you as human. I have always carried a sense that something was wrong. Was I wrong? Were my relationships wrong? Why does everything feel so off? That feeling sent me down a long path of seeking — from spiritual communities to therapy modalities to every "healing" space I could find. And what I found, over and over again, was the same message reinforced: yes, there is something wrong with you. It wasn't until I learned about antagonistic personalities, childhood dynamics, and the development of the self that I finally understood what all those feelings were actually about. I was never the problem. And neither are you. My path to becoming a therapist was not a straight one. I had spent 10 years as a yoga therapist and had just closed that chapter — deliberately, and without any intention of returning to a helping profession. But eventually something in me relented. I am glad it did. It has given me the opportunity to offer others what I spent so many years looking for myself. I have been a client of many therapists throughout my life, and I will be the first to say not all therapists are created equal. I have had disengaged therapists, distracted therapists, therapists who listen and nod, therapists who give inappropriate advice, therapists who turn the session into something about them. I have even had a therapist gaslight me into believing I was the problem in an abusive dynamic I was involved in. I know what it feels like to leave a session feeling worse than when you arrived — or to spend years in therapy without ever feeling like anything actually shifted. My specialized training all serves one purpose: to show up for you in a way that actually helps. I take that seriously. And I have learned just as much from my own experiences as a client as I have from any training room. I deeply believe that we are all born whole and worthy of love, dignity, and respect. Life can lead us to forget that. It is my hope that this work offers you a path back — to the home within yourself that has been there all along.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Complex and Developmental Trauma Therapy - The wholeness you seek has always been within you.</image:title>
      <image:caption>When we have experienced developmental trauma, life can feel like one long search for wholeness—a persistent ache that nothing quite seems to fill. What I want you to know is this: the wholeness you are searching for has never left you. It was obscured. Complex trauma leaves us believing we are worthless, without value, and fundamentally alone. That is not the truth. It is the adaptation. It is what made sense given what you were given. In our work together, we will untangle what you have been conditioned to believe and begin to access the truth of who you are. It is time to meet yourself.</image:caption>
