Often, we believe others are worthy of love, but we are not. Sometimes, our experiences in our lives lead us to think that we are unloveable; we believe that we deserve this and come to the conclusion that we are unloved. These experiences led us to believe we are no longer safe for connection. This is a lie. I would like to invite you to an inverse of the golden rule: Do unto yourself as you would do unto others. I welcome anyone who wants this, who doesn't know how to live like this, and/or who is skeptical that this is possible. I believe we are made to become wholly the best version of ourselves.

I have experience and work with those that have undergone traumatic encounters. I believe that healing comes from addressing the traumas and confronting the difficulties that come from them, such as unhealthy boundaries and maladaptive coping. I utilize a mindfulness and strengths-based approach in addition to creating a stabilizing and safe environment to be able to process and deal with the emotions that result from the extremes of the traumas that we experience. I tend to use action, coaching-oriented skills focused on behavioral aspects (eg stress management, emotional regulation) to mitigate the impact on life & relationships.

I’m a certified trauma therapist whose work centers on the connection between unresolved complex trauma and the maladaptive coping behaviors that often lead to functional impairment in adulthood. Many of my clients arrive feeling stuck in patterns they can’t quite name—cycles of addiction, emotional shutdown, chronic self-doubt, or relational conflict that seem to repeat despite their best efforts. Beneath these behaviors, there’s often a history of trauma that hasn’t been fully processed, and a nervous system that’s learned to survive rather than thrive.

You are love and peace....total and whole, not separate. The only reason you, or anyone, suffers is because you put a layer of negative thoughts, judgments, on top of this love which clouds your vision of who you are.. I can support you in no longer identifying with any negative judgments so you see there is nothing really wrong with you and all that you need can be found within. Lasting joy is found within. You can learn to be with any situation, even physical pain. Learning to directly experience feelings without story and labels frees you in an amazing way. You just do not need to suffer any more.

You've been carrying the weight of past experiences for too long, showing up to your life but never quite feeling free from what happened. Maybe you've tried weekly therapy and felt like you were going in circles, or you've been on waitlists for months and can't afford to keep waiting. You're ready for something different. You want real change, not just coping strategies.

I'm so glad you're here. Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision and I know it took a lot of courage and vulnerability to get here. The people I work with often start therapy because they feel overwhelmed, are in recovery from addiction, or looking for a place to process life's ups and downs. I'm passionate about helping people work through complex family dynamics, women's issues, queer identity, and healing from trauma. Through our work together, my hope is to walk alongside you to help you recognize your own internal strength, even in the toughest times.

I am more interested in what you are experiencing than anything I could tell you about myself. Generally, individuals come to therapy because they have reached a personal impasse and would like an outside perspective.

You may be reaching a point where old roles no longer fit: scapegoat, caretaker, emotional stabilizer, or “the strong one.” What follows can feel disorienting, including grief, anger, relief, and a growing refusal to contort yourself for systems that relied on your silence. I work with adults who are ready to step out of survival roles and into sovereignty—people who want to understand how they adapted, not stay stuck retelling what hurt. Many of my clients are navigating estrangement, enmeshed family systems, complex trauma, identity shifts, or the consequences of choosing themselves for the first time.

For codependency, we uncover unhealthy patterns, setting healthier boundaries, and fostering more balanced, independent relationships.
Past negative experiences can begin to weigh on you and affect your day-to-day life, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, lost, or stuck. You might find yourself constantly worrying, noticing patterns in your relationships that are hard to break, or feeling like you’re the common denominator without fully understanding why. At times, things can feel so heavy that you wish you wouldn’t wake up, or that life felt at least a little more manageable. You don’t have to navigate that alone. I’m here to help.

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.
