Codependency Therapists in 80302

I work with individuals who are experiencing depression, anxiety, and Complex PTSD, especially those who feel emotionally overwhelmed, have difficulty setting boundaries, feel disconnected from themselves, and struggle with rescuing/fixing others at their expense. I have a passion for working with those struggling with codependency and perfectionism, including patterns of self-abandonment, avoidance, low self-esteem, denial, control, and compliance in relationships. I assist in existential exploration of purpose, meaning, values and identity. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and actively work towards fostering an anti-oppressive lens.

I have enjoyed working with teens , adults and families for over 15 years. I bring 31 years of personal recovery from various substance and process addictions and combine both personal and professional experiences to the counseling relationship. I work with teens, adults and families dealing with codependency, substance use issues, addiction, stress, anxiety and trauma. My approach helps with discovering the best methods for you to learn how to cope with life challenges in a way that won't harm you or the people you love. If you are struggling to find your way, I encourage you to call for a free phone consultation.

Early in life we learn to disconnect from our bodies and emotions in order to survive and adapt to the environment. Overtime, this manifests as patterns of behavior and self-rejection that though were once adaptive, now only keep us stuck. These patterns typically manifest as anxiety, depression, self-hatred, toxic shame, addictions, obsessions, compulsions, codependency and relationship problems. I work experientially in the moment to get to the root of what is getting in the way of desired experiences on an identity level. Many clients describe this process as a gradual “coming home” or reconnection to their authentic self.

As a therapist, I am a great match for clients who want to transcend old patterns, build more self-trust, and experience a more spacious and peaceful inner world. I believe that all people have an intrinsic desire to move towards connection, health, and aliveness and I have a knack for helping people access these qualities within themselves. I have a lot of experience in the world of addiction and family systems, specifically working with clients who have a loved one dealing with an addiction. I specialize in treating codependency, compassionate boundary setting, and helping you find your voice.

I believe true connection and healing are possible, and that therapy holds the capacity for profound transformation. We'll work within a supportive and accepting environment navigating areas relating to belonging, past trauma, owning the strength of sensitivity and confidence in self expression. I specialize in supporting identities and interests such as high sensitivity, low self esteem and self worth, spirituality, codependency, childhood emotional neglect, addiction, adult children and siblings of substance users, life transitions, anxiety, depression, loneliness, and Bipolar disorder.

My style is warm, real, and practical. Working with me in therapy means having a conversation, just two people talking together. I embrace humor and honesty in therapy. I balance helping you gain greater understanding of yourself with taking action, supporting your every step. I strive to provide the best services possible by helping you to feel deeply understood by considering all the aspects of your unique story and using therapeutic techniques that have been shown by research to be effective. I provide individual and group therapy as well as psychological evaluations (testing).

Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, relationship issues, codependency, difficulty communicating or setting boundaries, overwhelm, dysregulation, a lost sense of self, or any other discomforts stemming from childhood trauma can make adult life even harder to navigate. As meaning-making creatures, finding a sense of clarity regarding our experiences goes a long way towards reconnnecting with our true selves, regulating our emotions, and reaching our healing goals. If you are intuitive/empathic and have a deep desire to strengthen your connection to yourself and examine/release patterns that no longer serve you, we may be a good match!

I encourage new clients to utilize a free 15-20 minute consultation with me to assure that we are a good match to embark on a therapeutic relationship together. Taking the first steps towards help is difficult and takes a great deal of courage. I work with great care and compassion through multiple modalities to provide my clients the most effective therapy for what is overwhelming them. Feeling more peace and understanding, with a clear pathway to a healthier relationship with yourself and others are the results I provide. Services offered are strength-based, evidenced-based, social justice oriented, and support mind-body-spirit.

Starting an inner journey on a path to self-healing and understanding can seem like a daunting task. It can be confusing, often goes against logic, and opens us up to the very things that caused us to retreat from a full life in the first place. I understand the trepidation that comes from starting on such a journey and the various obstacles that arise during this exploration. This journey does not have to be taken alone.

I specialize in using mindfulness-based approaches to treat clients struggling with general & social anxiety; depression; identity development; authentic self-expression & embodiment; coping with life transitions; identifying best choices for life path & finding one's purpose; integrating psychedelic or spiritual experiences; boundary setting; & communicating effectively in relationship. My approach to therapy focuses on empowering clients by to direct their life's course with confidence & know-how, providing skills for successful emotional regulation & creating therapeutic opportunities for developing self-knowledge & inner-wisdom.

I began counseling and mentoring in 1991 as a volunteer in a residential treatment center for teens. Since then, I have worked with lots of folks, through both struggle and triumph, to help them progress toward their fullest potential. My work as a group counselor in outpatient and residential treatment centers greatly influenced my current work as a psychotherapist in private practice. I use an evidence-based, integrative approach to understand your unique personal, subjective experience while supporting your journey toward mental and emotional health.

Struggling with identifying and asserting your needs? Or knowing what you want in your personal relationships, career, professional life? Feeling confused about who you are, where are you going and what you REALLY want? Feeling stuck? Unmotivated? Distracted and overwhelmed all at the same time? Having a hard time slowing down, feeling busy but unproductive, like you are not doing enough, or working hard enough, etc? Do you have an overly inense inner critic, that evaluates and judges every single thing you do? Longing for some time to pause, but also feeling deep inside fear of stopping?

Do you feel unsatisfied with your life? Whether it's past traumas or other complex factors that impacted you, most people looking for a therapist are seeking relief from the struggle and want to wake up to more joy, ease and self-acceptance. If you're searching it means some part of you knows it's possible to not only survive, but thrive and live an abundant life. With the right support and guidance you can feel in control of your life and attain your goals.

Stress, overwhelm, boundary confusion, communication issues, relationship struggles. I specialize in helping clients who long for change but feel mired in old patterns and unconscious habits and stuck in unhealthy relationships and situations that no longer serve them. Getting unstuck means cultivating a kind awareness of our unique internal experience, learning to know and trust who we are and creating healthy boundaries so that we no longer abandon ourselves. Doing so enriches all our relationships! I provide a mindful, creative and gentle safe space for clients to explore, transform and heal and then move forward in life.

My passion is to work with women who are stepping into the truth of who they are. I work with people who can no longer avoid the calling to go within, to find the answers to the hard questions, What am I hungry for? What is life asking of me? What am I here to do? Usually this begins with a fair amount of suffering and struggle, whether it's an encounter with an eating disorder, depression, anxiety, self-harm, or simply life confusion.

Do you find yourself trapped in distressing relationship patterns? Worn out from nurturing others, unable to find rest for yourself? Battling with low self-esteem? These struggles often stem from childhood wounds. I’ve been there. I use somatic approaches capable of initiating deep, transformative healing, reshaping the neural pathways of your brain. If you’re still facing triggers despite trying various methods, book a session with me. I look forward to embarking on a healing journey together.

You've experienced infidelity by someone you trust and now you're confused and left to deal with overwhelming decisions. The person you once knew is a stranger who is mistreating you now. You feel sick to your stomach most of the time, can't sleep, hell- you can barely function. And yet you know you have to keep it together. You need support but no one seems to really get it and you're so embarrassed to be in this place in your life. Every memory you have is tainted and you're left questioning the entire history of your relationship. You wonder if this nightmare will ever end. You just want to wake up to a different life.
