Are you experiencing distress in your daily life and in your relationships? Are you feeling depressed, anxious, confused or disempowered? Are you frustrated by repetitive nonproductive disagreements with your partner? As a practicing therapist for twenty plus years, I have worked with individuals, couples and families struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and substance abuse issues. It is my belief that basic to all relationships, is the relationship with self. In our work we will look at relationship patterns to identify barriers to creating healthy, satisfying connections with ourselves and others in our lives, play, and work.

Accepting New Clients: Do you find yourself struggling, unsure of yourself, not knowing which way to turn for help? Life can be difficult at times, be it related to the impact of daily stressors, changes in health, work, loss, or relationship issues. These changes can create feelings that can leave you anxious, overwhelmed, or even saddened by your life circumstances. Because I believe that one’s path is unique to the individual, beginning "where you are at" allows us to focus on how we can work together in a safe and trusting environment to help you recognize your own strengths.

Life is tough at best, traumatic at worst. People let us down or we let ourselves down. We may repeat patterns that once seemed to work for us, but are now impeding our growth. Often we know what we "should" do to feel better, but can't seem to actualize our intentions. Or we become so overwhelmed with messages that we have to fix ourselves that over time our resolve weakens. We may start to view ourselves as broken, unlovable ... hopeless. It can feel uncomfortable to ask for help when we're struggling, but we are not wired to walk this life alone; we all need a safe space where we can share our hurts, disappointments, and losses.

*I am currently not accepting new clients-please check back at a later date.* Life can be challenging at times and it can be overwhelming to deal with alone. As humans we need to communicate, to interact, to be heard, and to feel understood. I believe therapy can be a very productive and cathartic outlet to help sift through everyday difficulties and unexpected or even devastating challenges that occur in our lives. Therapy can help encourage you to gain understanding and build growth leading you to find and accept your best self.

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.
