Find yourself again after heartbreak

Break ups don't define you, stop patterns that repeat them.

Is the Grief of This Ending Harder Than You Expected?

Let’s have a conversation about your experience and how I can help.

Breakups don’t always hurt in proportion to how long the relationship lasted — or how right it seemed on paper. Sometimes the loss of a relationship cuts to something deeper: a sense of who you were, what you believed about love, and who you hoped you might become.

The pain of a breakup can show up in ways that feel disorienting:

You replay conversations, looking for the moment it changed.
You feel relief and devastation at the same time — and don’t trust either.
You wonder whether you loved too much, or not enough.
You’ve been told to “move on” but don’t know how to actually do that.
You feel fine, then suddenly aren’t — and can’t explain why.

Heartbreak is not a failure of strength. The depth of a loss often reflects the depth of what you brought to it.

A Depth-Oriented Approach to Therapy for Break ups

“A relationship ending is rarely just about the other person — it often reopens something much older.”

We heal when we understand not just what we lost, but what we were carrying.

How the Work Unfolds

The work unfolds gradually. Together we begin to understand your anxiety and overthinking and create space for new ways of relating to your situation.

Make sense of what happened

Go beyond the story of the breakup itself. Explore what this relationship meant to you, why it held the weight it did, and what needs or hopes were alive in it.

Uncover your hidden beliefs and needs

Uncover the attachment patterns, early relational wounds, or beliefs about love that may have shaped this relationship — and that quietly influence how you grieve.

Rebuild and move forward

Reconnect with a steadier sense of yourself — not the version of you defined by this relationship, but the one that was always there underneath it.

Hi, I am Malahat

Therapy is not only a method. It is also a relationship.

Many of the patterns that bring people to therapy were once intelligent adaptations — ways of maintaining connection, avoiding hurt, or carrying responsibilities that once felt necessary.

Over time, these strategies can begin to limit your freedom in relationships.

In therapy, we explore these patterns with curiosity rather than judgment. Often, change begins when long-standing expectations about relationships are gently challenged by a different experience.

What you will find in our work together is a space that is:

• thoughtful

• emotionally grounded
• attentive to complexity

I focus on your goals and plans.
