Whether you feel stuck, angry, hopeless or anxious, I believe change is possible. Often the distressing or traumatizing things in our lives are made worse by isolation. Having someone who is remembering that you are doing the best that you can at every moment and sees your strengths can lead to shifts in painful feelings. This can also help you change how you see yourself. I will listen to you and support you with whatever feelings, thoughts or circumstances you find troubling.

Imagine unleashing the true version of your 'Self' & knowing the treasures you have inside you! Sometimes we get stuck thinking about the past and it's exhausting, replaying what happened and wishing you could forget and move on. If you have a history of trauma, a painful childhood, or have suffered from anxiety/depression, OCD, grief, or phobias, then this is even more true of you. Every time you let go off old perspectives, conditioning & hurt you allow yourself to heal & create a new future because every breath is a chance to be reborn. Allow yourself to find joy in the ordinary, evolve, liberate & reclaim your 'Self'! Live It...

Welcome to taking your first step to finding the right support for yourself. Being human is a challenging experience, now made more so by technology’s rapid growth in the 21st century. Advances in telecommunications have brought convenience and ease of staying in touch with others but they have also added more complexity to navigating living in our current times and to genuinely connecting with one another. I believe my clients have the inner resources to heal and create their own happiness.

Since much of the world has taught us that asking for assistance demonstrates weakness, it can be difficult to admit to ourselves that we cannot do something alone. For this reason, many people suffer in silence, which can often make things worse. If this sounds like you, I am here to let you know that asking for help may be the bravest thing you can do, and therefore, I must commend you for your strength and effort in taking this first step.

NOT Accepting New Clients: For a long time, you have been described as "the problem." You have heard this countless times in your relationships, so be it with your family, friends, or partner. You understand that there is no such thing as being "perfect," but you find yourself using this thought as a way to justify your anger, emotions, and at times your self-sabotaging behaviors. Above all, you love those around you and want to sustain these relationships. You know you are accountable, but how do you reframe your emotions when you are constantly left feeling shamed, misheard, and misrepresented by those closest to you.

Codependency Counsellors
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.
