You may be feeling anxious, worn down, or quietly exhausted from carrying responsibility for others. Many of my clients are men who over-function - fixing problems, staying strong, and putting everyone else first - while struggling with guilt, shame, or burnout underneath. You might feel stuck in patterns where you give more than you receive, or struggle with boundary challenges and balancing family, work, or faith. You might be seeking calmer emotions, stronger relationships and a clearer, more authentic sense of self. Women with similar struggles are also warmly welcome.

If you’ve spent most of your life holding it together for everyone else, it can be hard to know what you actually need. I work with thoughtful, high-functioning women who feel overwhelmed, stuck in relationship patterns, or disconnected from themselves. Together we explore where these patterns began and how to start changing them.

While I regularly support people navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and life stress, many also benefit from my additional experience with trauma (complex, developmental, and single-incident), codependency and boundaries, disordered eating and body image concerns, medically unexplained body symptoms, and OCD.
You may find therapy with me helpful if you're deeply attuned to others, but not the best at establishing your own needs. You may find yourself stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, feeling overwhelmed and resentful, and wanting to feel more present. You may struggle with shame, boundaries, or building safe and reciprocal relationships. Maybe you've tried traditional talk therapy in the past but felt that something was missing. Somatic therapy might be just what you need to work through past wounds that still live in your body. If you want not only coping skills but genuine healing, you're in the right place.

Codependency Therapists
What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.

What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.

How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.

What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
