Codependency Relationship Therapy in California

Online therapy for black women who are tired of losing themselves in their relationship

You’ve Started Feeling Like He Matters More Than You. That His Needs Are More Important.

And it makes total sense. Women are expected to take care of everyone else in front of themselves. No wonder you’ve ignored much of yourself to take care of the relationship.

Do any of the following sound familiar?

  • You’ve turned into a version of yourself that he likes but isn’t truly who you are.

  • If you choose what you want for activities or food, then you’re “selfish” and you “don’t really care” about him

  • You often find yourself saying “yes” when you really want to say “no.”.

  • You’re often helping and giving to your partner, but feel taken for granted because he doesn’t return the favor. You secretly think he’s not capable of thinking and doing things on his own.

  • When your partner does something that hurts you, you pretend to be fine so he won’t get angry or leave.

It started out just wanting to be a "good girlfriend" supporting your partner’s dreams and plans even if they didn't make sense to you. But over time, you’ve ignored so much of yourself, your values, your desires, your voice, all while being the supporter in the relationship. Sometimes you wonder when it will be your turn to get supported too?

What if you could learn to give yourself all the great, amazing things you give others? What if you could be 100% who you are AND accepted…relaxed AND safe?…confident AND loved in your relationship?

My approach as a codependency therapist is to get in the trenches of your life with you and teach you how to focus on yourself and the feelings you may be afraid to feel and express with your partner. We’ll untangle the authentic and made-up parts of you that got mixed up along the way so you can show up as you and still get what you need. I will help you tap back into your intuition so you can stop abandoning your inner voice, wants, and needs to be in a relationship with others.

Frequently Asked Questions about Codependency Relationship Therapy

  • Codependency is rooted in our society and unfortunately, our caregivers, teachers, and other adults we depended on in childhood drank the kool-aid. So, we grew up learning that we should do things for people because it’s what they asked and will make them happy and comfortable. What we internalize is that we have to abandon and reject ourselves often to be in relationship with others, and to get our needs met. Not your fault. I can help you change this in your life.

  • Absolutely! Because it’s the way most people operate, it might be challenging to go against the grain, at first. However, people that care about you and want to remain in relationship with you can and will want to respect the way you want to be treated and your new boundaries.
