Do your relationships feel more exhausting than supportive?

Maybe you recognize yourself in one of these:

  • You give everything to your family or partner—your time, your money, your energy—yet still feel unseen or unappreciated.
  • You’re constantly questioning yourself. Am I overreacting? Am I the problem?
  • Your mood is spilling into your parenting. You want your kids to see a loving, steady mom—not one who’s frustrated or checked out.
  • Breakups don’t just leave you grieving a partner. You also grieve the years you spent bending yourself to fit what others wanted.
  • You feel caught between cultures. Your faith, your family’s expectations, and your own needs often clash, and you’re left wondering who you’re even “allowed” to be.
  • Old wounds resurface at family gatherings. Panic attacks. Dissociation. Pretending nothing happened while your abuser still gets a seat at the table.

And underneath it all, you’re tired. Tired of performing, tired of hiding, tired of holding everyone else’s needs above your own.

When your relationships leave you feeling unseen, unsupported, or silenced, it doesn’t just stay at home. It touches everything: your work, your focus, your friendships, your health. It slowly erodes your confidence until you’re left wondering if you can even trust your own voice.

Healing your relationships starts with healing your relationship with yourself.

Right now, your relationships feel overwhelming—like you’re carrying everyone else’s needs while questioning your own. Therapy gives you a space to lay it all down, get clarity, and start rebuilding from the inside out.

Here’s what changes when we work together:

  • You’ll leave sessions with new insights—“ah-ha” moments that shift how you see yourself and your relationships.
  • You’ll learn to spot your feelings in real time, name them, and respond to them with compassion instead of self-blame.
  • You’ll begin advocating for your needs clearly and calmly, without spiraling into guilt or fear.
  • Boundaries with family will start to feel less like a battle and more like an act of self-respect.
  • Over time, you’ll feel more regulated, balanced, and even joyful—like one client said, “For the first time ever, I feel like everything will be okay.”

How therapy gets you there:

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS): Together, we untangle the “muddy mess” of thoughts and feelings by seeing them as different parts of you—like team members who’ve been trying to protect you. Instead of pushing them away, we learn how to listen, thank them, and offer them new ways to cope. This builds compassion for yourself and clarity in your relationships.
  • Relational-Cultural Therapy: The relationship between us is where healing starts. When you feel deeply seen, safe, and understood, you finally get a model of what a healthy relationship can feel like. The cultural piece matters too—this approach recognizes how family expectations, gender roles, and cultural pressures shape the way you relate to yourself and others.
  • Attachment-Based Therapy: We trace how early caregiving shaped your ability to trust and be vulnerable today. With compassion, we rework those patterns so you can feel more secure in your relationships now.

Therapy doesn’t erase the challenges—but it helps you meet them from a grounded, confident place. You’ll learn to trust yourself, connect with others in ways that feel nourishing, and create relationships that actually support you.

Therapy for relationship struggles can help you

  • Identify your feelings with clarity

  • Understand how past dynamics shape today’s struggles

  • Improve communication in your closest relationships

  • Develop self-compassion and self-trust

  • Reconnect with your true identity

  • Strengthen boundaries without guilt

  • Reduce panic, anger, and shame

  • Build secure, supportive connections

Imagine if…

  • You walked into a family gathering feeling calm, steady, and in control—no panic, no dissociation.

  • You could tell your partner exactly what you need and stay grounded, even if they don’t respond perfectly.

  • You felt confident setting boundaries with your parents or siblings, without the usual fear, guilt, or second-guessing.

  • Breakups or conflicts no longer shattered your sense of self—you knew you’d be okay, no matter what.

  • You trusted your own perspective, without always needing someone else to confirm you’re not “crazy.”

  • You finally believed, deep down, that your needs matter and your voice deserves to be heard.

  • You could rest into that deep, sighing ease of being totally yourself—fully seen, accepted, and safe in your own skin, free from the pressure to prove or perform.

What is Relational-Cultural Therapy?

One of the few therapeutic models created by and for women, Relational-Cultural Therapy (RCT) teaches that healing happens through connection, not disconnection. This makes it especially powerful for women navigating relationship issues.

So many of my clients have been told they’re “too much,” expected to perform, or made to feel small in their closest relationships. RCT offers something different: a model of therapy where you feel truly seen, safe, and valued. Together, we use our relationship in therapy as the foundation—showing you what it feels like to be met with respect, understanding, and compassion.

From there, you’ll begin to recognize what healthy connection can look like in your own life and learn how to create relationships where you feel supported, not drained.

It’s possible to feel calm, clear, and confident in your relationships—without losing yourself.
