Are you struggling with people pleasing, perfectionism, or codependency? Do you feel like you don't know who you are or what you want because you are too busy taking care of everybody else's needs? You may feel resentful, anxious, and overwhelmed because you have lost your way and you want to get back on the right path. You feel exhausted, but you still power through even though you feel like you have nothing left to give. It doesn't have to be this way. Therapy can help.

I have specialized training and experience working with couples, groups relapse prevention, shame, addiction and codependency.
Vulnerability is hard. The 'easier' choice is just not to talk about it. 'If I just don't think about it, I will be fine.' Sound familiar? It's a common coping strategy. One which consistently backfires as evidenced by the persistent emotional and/or relational problems continuing to appear in your life. What we resists persists. You want to feel heard, seen and understood. I assure you, you will. Remember you cannot heal what you refuse to feel. Reach out for a free consultation call today. You are one decision away from feeling better in your life. I'm here.

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.
