Codependency Therapists in San Diego, CA

Hi! I am Dr. Tobi and I typically work with young adults presenting with a variety of concerns including anxiety, family or relationship issues, relational trauma (including narcissistic abuse), codependency, self-esteem issues, and depression. My approach to therapy involves a holistic and collaborative process; we will work together on your personal journey of growth, change, and empowerment. I integrate multiple therapeutic modalities to best fit your individual needs, including CBT, DBT, internal family systems, psychodynamic, attachment, and mindfulness-based approaches.

Whether you're adjusting to grief and loss, a major change in your life or healing from trauma, I can support you in breaking cycles that are keeping you stuck. I've worked with patients from different backgrounds and have seen that we can not only heal trauma, but THRIVE after it. Post traumatic growth is achievable through therapy and gaining healthy coping skills. Together we can look at things like family of origin and life history patterns that may be impeding your happiness and growth. I offer a warm, safe space for you to process what needs to be resolved and help you learn new ways to cope.

Do you feel overwhelmed, exhausted and it’s just easier to do it all yourself? AND at the same time you feel lonely and want a relationship or want that relationship to not feel so one sided? Do you have decision fatigue after being successful all day and just wish you could lean on a partner or people to help carry some of that load? MAYBE you just want to feel taken care of. If you’ve asked yourself these questions, I know how painful this can feel. I specialize working with clients who have relationship anxiety (attachment), codependency or hyper independence, marital issues and self esteem issues and inner child wounding.

Choosing a therapist can be a daunting task, and I believe that finding that right fit is an essential part of your therapeutic journey. I place great value on the therapeutic relationship and will strive to earn your trust while fostering a relaxed, empathetic and supportive environment. I take a collaborative approach and work at a pace that feels comfortable for you as I appreciate just how challenging this work can be. I have considerable experience in working with military, I specialize in couple therapy using EFT, I'm certified in the model of AEDP and I have experience facilitating DBT, EFT and Codependency groups.

Are you struggling with the demands of transitioning from teen years to adulthood? Maybe having to establish a stable identity, prepare for a career and transition into the workforce? Are you feeling discouraged, irritable, insecure, afraid and indecisive? This is especially true for those who begin their adult life with substance use, emotional disorders, and codependency. Exploration of your identity and managing anxiety can help you develop confidence in yourself. I have spent years working in settings helping individuals, families, and groups learn to navigate life’s challenges with compassion and understanding of their values.

Self-esteem is the foundation of how you treat yourself. Without it your health and your relationships may deteriorate and life becomes a struggle. Feeling stuck can lead to a host of destructive thoughts and emotions that if left unattended can greatly decrease your quality of life. If you are sad, anxious, unable to make decisions, or feel lost, there is help. You have the ability to learn about yourself and utilize the tools necessary to regain control of your life.

Are you tired of feeling guilty, selfish, or mean every time you try to set a boundary? Ready to kiss people-pleasing, codependency, and toxic relationships goodbye? I help compassionate people discover how to set boundaries. Sometimes called "people-pleasers" or "co-dependents," I believe the real problem is one of boundaries... As in, we need to know how to find them! I've found that loving empathic people can THRIVE once we discover our boundaries (in a way that works for our compassionate hearts). Many of my clients are fellow counselors and psychologists, medical professionals, teachers, social workers, all with big hearts.

Seeking therapy is a wonderful gift to give your self! I will assist you in identifying unhealthy patterns that are obstacles to having a satisfying & productive life. Do you continually self-sabotage, repeat unhealthy relationship or behavioral patterns or struggle with boundaries & self-worth? I believe the key is tapping into one's original self-love that may be long-buried or hard to reach. Therapy can help you be your most authentic & most functional self.

You're feeling stuck. You're finding yourself feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from life, others, and maybe yourself. You feel uncertain of your thoughts, wants, needs or what to do. Trauma can leave us feeling hopeless, exhausted, and alone. It can make us shut the world out, or put other's needs before our own in hope for solace. At times it can feel like change isn't possible, or if we just ignore it long enough it will resolve itself.

We all carry wounds that run deeper than we’d like to admit. Sometimes these wounds continue to affect us in the present, even if we hope we’ve put the past firmly behind us. Maybe you’re struggling with people-pleasing patterns, self-judgment, or perfectionism. Perhaps it’s hard to identify how you feel or what you really need. Or maybe you just have a nagging sense that something isn’t quite right. I help clients address anxiety, codependency, trauma, and more in order to reclaim their lives and build the future they want. As a queer therapist, I also specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals.
