I offer therapy for adults struggling with anxiety in their relationships or trauma related to their family of origins, helping them to build self-esteem and overcome the urge to please others
What stops you from feeling
safe in relationships?
I help people who feel lost or overwhelmed
in their relationships.
The clients I support often struggle with setting limits and seek therapy to better understand their anxiety and guilt in relationships. I provide support for individuals who find themselves constantly ruminating and reviewing their interactions, helping them find peace and clarity.
Therapy May Be for You if:
- Family members have high expectations of you to be successful or they are absent and expect you to give more than they reciprocate
- In romantic relationships you are constantly needing reassurance and have a deep fear of being rejected or abandoned
- You are feeling burnt out by doing it all for everyone else
- Anger, guilt, anxiety, and resentment are emotions you experience regularly in relationships or at work
- Playing it small has led to missed opportunities in love and at work
You are enough. You deserve relationships that are calming, respectful, and loving. Your needs and intuition are to be honored, not
ignored.
Let’s work together to get you where you want to be
I help clients in the areas of:
- self-esteem
- managing stress
- dating
- childhood neglect
- boundaries
- toxic work environments
- sexual assault
- guilt & shame
Feeling confidence and joy in your relationships is possible. You have an unyielding power to change, break patterns, and feel more connected and calm.
MALIYAH COYE, LCSW
I will be a fierce advocate for you!
I work with people who are wanting to break relationship patterns and transform how they feel in their relationships. We are becoming more aware of how our earlier experiences in childhood shape the way we feel in our adult relationships. Some of your current survival strategies, like people-pleasing, staying quiet, and holding back might have been useful to your younger self or even your ancestors at one point in time. But it might be preventing you from fully thriving in the present. It takes time but it is possible to tend to fearful parts that tells you to keep saying yes, even when it doesn't serve you. It can be extremely uncomfortable at first, even scary, to say 'no' or set limits with others. It requires safety and a willingness to take up space in your life. Making your needs and preferences a priority is a powerful act especially if you had to keep yourself safe by being small.
As your therapist, I will provide warmth, humor, creativity, and curiosity, and be a fierce advocate for your boundaries and needs. It takes courage to see a therapist. If you are ready to deep dive into the experiences and beliefs that are preventing you from making yourself a priority, then give me a call.
I provide in-person counseling to clients in Sacramento, CA as well as virtually throughout the state of California.
When you say yes to others, make sure you aren’t
saying no to yourself.
