Do you feel responsible for other people’s emotions, struggle to set boundaries, or lose sight of your own needs? Many adults who experience codependency feel anxious, depressed, and doubt their self-worth. They engage in people pleasing, and often feel resentful because despite their efforts, they never feel good enough. I specialize in helping adults understand and change difficult relational patterns that often start in childhood, providing them with insight and tools so that they can feel more grounded, confident, and connected to themselves.
In therapy, we'll explore how early experiences and attachment patterns have shaped current relationships. Together, we will work on building healthier boundaries, strengthening self-esteem, and developing new ways of engaging with others.
I am a licensed psychologist with a background in trauma and over 20 years of experience. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, blending family systems theory, psychodynamic therapy, and CBT. I offer in-person therapy in Austin and online sessions across Texas, California, and all PSYPACT states. Reach out to schedule a free consultation.
