You’ve been holding everything together for everyone else for a long time, but lately it’s catching up with you. You might feel burned out, on autopilot, or unsure who you are outside of work, caregiving, and old expectations. A part of you knows something has to change, but you may feel unsure where to start or how to do it. I help adults, often in midlife, untangle what’s not working, get clear on what they actually want, and take honest, doable steps toward a life that fits them better.

If you’ve spent years taking care of everyone else while quietly carrying your own pain, therapy can become a place where you finally feel supported. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who grew up in complicated family systems and are now learning to understand their patterns, set healthier boundaries, and build relationships that feel safe and supportive. Others come during times of transition—divorce, grief, parenting challenges, or moments when life simply feels overwhelming. You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out.

You’re the high performer, the fixer, the “strong one.” On the outside, you appear capable, confident, and composed. On the inside, you may feel burnt out, anxious, disconnected, or unsure how to prioritize yourself without guilt. Saying “no” feels difficult. Rest feels unproductive. A one-day Netflix binge turns into an existential crisis. Boundaries feel impossible. You cope by staying busy, people-pleasing, or working towards endless goals. These patterns once helped you survive and feel a sense of belonging, but over time they can lead to chronic overextension, burnout, unfulfillment, and detachment from yourself and others.

All of us know moments when emotions feel overwhelming—when thoughts move too quickly and the world feels heavy. In those times, what we often need most is a safe place to land: a space to breathe, slow down, and be met with understanding rather than judgment.
I strive to offer that space in my work—one grounded in presence, empathy, and acceptance. A place where you can arrive as you are, without pressure to be anything other than human, and begin to make sense of what feels difficult to hold alone.

I became a Marriage and Family Therapist because I enjoy processing with individuals and listening to personal journeys to find a resolution. I was a High School performance art major and find this skill set benefical in providing supports through visual cues using various therapeutic approaches and modalities. I specialize in working with children and families in child welfare. I enjoy working with young children and teens as these are challenging developmental years, trauma and distress from systemic and familial patterns of behaviors, coupled with low parenting, coping, decision-making and problem-solving skills.

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.
