You’ve Achieved A Lot But Your Current Relationship Is Toxic At Times

Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?

  • You argue all the time and feel the relationship could be fixed if you just knew what to do and what to say.

  • You often feel used, taken for granted, and unsupported in your relationship.

  • You question if your feelings are justified or if you’re being “too sensitive.”

  • You often find yourself confused, feeling a mix of, “this doesn’t feel good” and questioning, “is this how it’s supposed to be?”

  • You notice that even though you’re constantly explaining yourself you’re not being heard. You wonder if you can communicate better.

  • You’re afraid to make decisions without him because you haven’t figured out how to do it without making him angry.

This Relationship Is Affecting Your Whole Life

Even when you really need to focus on important tasks or be present with others, the conflicts replay in your mind.

It’s creating distance between you and the people you care about because of the shame; you may think “no one would ever expect someone like me to be dealing with this,” so you distance yourself from them and talk to them less. 

You may avoid opportunities that would elevate you and your life out of fear that he may feel threatened or start “Interrupting your grinding!” *Queen Bey voice*

Or maybe, you’ve noticed that it’s hard to eat or that sleep is not as sweet.

Individual Relationship Therapy can help you improve your relationship!

You can go from feeling crazy, consumed, and “on edge” to feeling confident, clear, and relaxed in your relationship. You can have the same level of success you have in other parts of your life, in your relationship, too. With support, it’s possible and can be closer than you think.

Because we’re so emotionally close to what’s happening, relationships can be hard to navigate by ourselves. But what if you had someone help you make decisions and move through the hard parts? My approach includes YOU and how you wish to move through changes in your life. 

Together we’ll:

  • examine how your arguments tend to go so you can understand your part in the argument cycle vs their part

  • learn when to negotiate or compromise in your relationship vs. when to set healthy boundaries

  • improve your somewhat shaken self-esteem/confidence

  • create effective boundaries that fit you and implement them so you can start changing your relationship for the better today

  • collaboratively work on your relationship together, getting you supported every step of the way

Now that your Type A brain is satisfied, just know we’re gonna do the work, but we’ll “kiki” alot-a-bit too!

Individual Relationship Therapy can help you:

  • Be more assertive, have more self-confidence, and increase self-esteem

  • Set and enforce boundaries without feeling scared of their reaction 

  • Improve your part of the argument cycle to argue less and communicate better 

  • Re-engage with other areas of life outside the relationship and not feel guilty about it

  • Make the best decisions for your relationship just like you’ve done with everything else

  • Stop feeling confused about your feelings so you can communicate more clearly and confidently

Frequently Asked Questions about Individual Relationship Therapy in California

  • In my experience working with couples, there was always a plethora of individual work that needed to be done before couples’ work started. For that reason, I specialize in individual relationship therapy for black women and singles. I recommend that happens first. If you think you still might need couples therapy right away, I wouldn’t be the therapist for you at this time. But if you’re ready to work individually on your relationship, I’d love to have you.

  • It depends on your goals and how engaged you are in our work together. Therapy takes time! Especially, when there are deep-rooted causes to our current pain and behaviors. Sometimes, it can be a few months and sometimes much longer. I assure you that I will be tracking your progress toward your goals and will let you know when I think we’re approaching graduation!
