Relationship Therapy
Feel more connected & secure in your relationships
You can have fulfilling & supportive relationships.
Perhaps you battle within, you may believe you must change in order to feel worthy, constantly striving to meet unreal expectations and demanding perfection from yourself. You ignore own wants and needs to please others and make everyone else happy, but it leaves you feeling unsatisfied, unfulfilled, and burnt out.
You fear honesty will push people away, so you people please instead.
Everyone else sees the “put together” mom who’s always on top of everything. From doctors appointments, playdates, and school programs you are aware of it all and make sure your kids’ needs are met. What they don’t see is the pressure you put on yourself. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed with parenting. Let’s face it parenting can be tough!
Maybe you've seen complicated relationships while growing up, constant arguing, unfair ultimatums, or blurred boundaries. You may not know what healthy relationships look like. You want to change overwhelming relationship dynamics, but and you don't know where to begin.
The way you learned to connect with people when you were young shapes how you connect with others as an adult.
The same arguments and misunderstandings happen time and time again, and you feel frustrated and exhausted. You try to be the supportive friend, partner, daughter. You give your all and feel depleted at the end of each night.
You’ve had just about enough!
Noticing any of these difficult patterns?
Have a hard time asking for what you need or saying no altogether. You avoid phone calls and interactions with people who may ask you for something.
You feel burned out. You always put others first, even when you're stretched thin, and your own needs come last.
Feel disconnected from loved ones and yourself. You're unsure of your own identity, lost in daily roles and responsibilities, making it hard to find your true self.
Your relationships feel one-sided, you're constantly giving and they're always taking without reciprocating. It's draining and leaves you feeling unappreciated.
You believe that asking for help would only complicate things further, so you try to do it all on your own.
Relationships begin with oneself.
Relationship therapy offers you the opportunity to reconnect with yourself and learn to relate to your loved ones in ways that honor you.
As a Black woman myself, I know all too well that toxic generational cycles can follow us into our adults lives and repeat. I’ve been there! I want to help you liberate yourself by defining yourself and relationships on your own terms.
You can’t make people treat you the way you want to be treated. You can, however, learn to give all of that love and more to yourself.
How Relationship Therapy looks with me…
I see you & I’m so glad you’re here.
Together we will cultivate a space where you can openly and freely explore the many different parts of you, the “people pleaser”, “superwoman”, “the giver”. While honoring and validating the roles they once served, you will grow awareness for times they may have actually caused more harm than good.
Through reflection and exploration of your family of origin dynamics, we will notice patterns that have inadvertently been recreated in adulthood. And rather than taking on roles out of pattern, you will learn to embrace these parts of you in a way that honors them with boundaries and limits, so that you are honored as well. You will learn to intentionally show up in relationships in a way that is aligned with your values and your needs.
I’ll help you define what love means to you and how to let go of shame and self-judgment. Then, we’ll look at how you can actively treat yourself the way you want to be treated, and you’ll start to see that love reflected throughout your life.
This builds the foundation of your wellness!
You can be seen, heard, and loved.
