Individual Relationship Therapy

For Black & LGBTQ+ Women in Arkansas Ready to Stop Shrinking for Love

You’ve done the work. Now it’s time to build relationships that feel safe, sexy, and soul-deep, starting with YOU.

We’re Not Doing Struggle Love Any DAMN more

You’ve done your time in relationships that looked good on the outside but drained the hell outta you on the inside.
You’ve tried to love people into loving you back.
Tried to fix folks who had no intention of healing.
Tried to be the “understanding one” while your needs sat on the back burner.

You’ve performed.
You’ve people-pleased.
You’ve over-explained yourself to people who were committed to misunderstanding you.

But now?
You’re done bending yourself into shapes just to be chosen.

This is about choosing you, on purpose, without guilt.

Individual Relationship Therapy is where you stop romanticizing potential and start honoring your truth.
We dig deep, past the patterns, past the wounds, past the scripts you were handed growing up, and rewrite what love gets to look like for you now.

Love that doesn’t cost you your voice.
Connection that doesn’t come with conditions.
Relationships where your softness is safe and your boundaries don’t get bulldozed.

This ain’t about becoming someone better to be loved.
It’s about becoming more of who you are, and knowing that’s more than enough.

This Ain’t Surface Work

You already know your patterns.
You’ve clocked the red flags, felt the shame spirals, and told yourself, “I’ll do better next time.”

But let’s be real, "next time" keeps looking a lot like the last time.
Why? Because we’ve been taught to survive relationships, not thrive in them.

In Individual Relationship Therapy, we stop just talking about the pain and start unlearning the patterns keeping you stuck in it.

This is where we slow it all the way down so you can:

  • Rebuild trust with yourself

  • Get clear on your boundaries (and actually hold them)

  • Let go of shrinking and over-explaining just to keep the peace

  • Stop abandoning yourself to keep someone else around

This work ain’t about fixing you.
It’s about helping you feel safe in your own body, your voice, and your decisions, so the love you choose moving forward actually fits the version of you that’s healing.

We’re not here to patch up another toxic cycle.
We’re here to break the damn pattern.

You're Not Asking for Too Much, You're Just Done Settling

A young Black woman with natural hair relaxes on a beige couch, eyes closed in peaceful reflection. She’s wrapped in a soft cream-colored blanket and holding a white mug, wearing a mustard yellow ribbed top.

You want real connection.
Not the bare minimum. Not breadcrumbs. Not the version of love where you have to shrink to be kept.

You're craving relationships where you feel safe and seen.
Where you don’t have to perform, over-explain, or carry the whole damn thing on your back.

In this space, we go deeper than surface-level “communication tips” or fake-it-‘til-you-make-it self-esteem tricks.

We work on:

  • Healing the why behind your relationship patterns

  • Rewiring how you show up in love, without self-abandonment

  • Owning your truth, even if your voice shakes

  • Learning to choose yourself first, without guilt

You don’t need to “get over it.”
You need room to feel it, name it, and heal from it, so you can choose something different next time.
Something real. Something that sees all of you.

Because showing up for yourself is the real love story.

Reasons clients come to see me.

Dating While Healing

You’re doing “the work” but still choosing red flags dressed as soulmates.
We’ll dig into why you keep picking struggle projects, how to stop romanticizing potential, and what it means to choose yourself before the next first date.

Relationship Anxiety

If you’re constantly overthinking, checking your phone, replaying convos, or trying to “fix it before they leave,” this is for you.
We’ll get to the root of that anxious loop and help you build the kind of security that comes from you, not just the other person.

Singlehood

You know you’re not supposed to need a relationship to feel whole, but some days it still stings.
We’ll unpack the grief, the longing, and the “what’s wrong with me?” spiral so you can reclaim your power and stop waiting for love to validate you.

Unlearning Struggle Love

You’ve outgrown the belief that love has to hurt to be real.
You’ve done enough proving, performing, and begging to be chosen. Now, it’s time to rewrite the rules for what real, grounded, healthy love looks like in your life.

You’ve already survived the storm. Now it’s time to learn how to love in the calm.

You’ve done the trauma work. You’ve faced your past, sat with your pain, and unpacked the patterns that had you shrinking yourself just to be chosen.

But now?
Now it’s time to learn how to be safe in peace.
How to let love in without a side of chaos.
How to date without the inner saboteur hijacking every connection.

This is where you learn to stop picking projects and start picking yourself.

It’s where you explore what real security, desire, and reciprocity feel like without overthinking every text, shrinking to keep the peace, or performing your way into someone’s affection.

This work isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about helping you trust you.

Because the version of you that’s no longer defined by trauma?
She’s ready to write a new story—where love gets to feel like freedom.
