Women and Relationships
Therapy available in-person in White Rock and virtually across British Columbia.
“You may not control the chaos—but you do control what gets access to your peace.”
- Amy Wasney, MPCC-P
Let’s be honest, relationships aren’t easy.
You know how it goes: you’re over-giving, over-explaining, and over-analyzing, all while quietly hoping someone will finally meet you halfway. Or going silent, because it’s the only reaction that feels safe.
Maybe you keep choosing partners who don’t choose you back, friends who drain you, or family members who treat your boundaries like suggestions. You’re tired of feeling like the “strong one,” the “understanding one,” or the “therapist friend” who never gets that energy in return.
You’re stuck between wanting to love people well and wanting to stop shrinking, people-pleasing, and settling for crumbs.
Your needs matter too.
This is where it all clicks. You start spotting the patterns with friends, partners, and coworkers—the people-pleasing, the silent resentment, the “why do I always do this?” moments—and finally start breaking the cycles (yes, childhood stuff included).
You show up in relationships feeling confident and secure in your part, without bending over backward or taking all the blame. Dating feels lighter, friendships feel balanced, and work dynamics? Totally manageable.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
I’ve lived through the people-pleasing, boundary-avoiding, self-forgetting chapters, so nothing you say will surprise me or make you feel judged. I’m here to help you understand your patterns with compassion, humour, and real-world strategies that actually work.
Sessions feel like a grounded, heart-centred conversation where you get to be honest without performing or apologizing. Together, we’ll help you build relationships that honour who you truly are—and learn to stop accepting anything less.
Who this type of therapy is for:
→ Women tired of giving everything in their relationships and getting crumbs back—friends, partners, coworkers, you name it.
→ Anyone noticing the same relationship patterns repeating and are ready to break the cycle.
→ Women who want to set boundaries without guilt and finally speak their truth.
→ Those who want to show up fully in their relationships—romantic, platonic, or professional—without losing themselves… again.
→ Anyone craving connections that feel safe, mutual, and genuinely fun, instead of draining.
