On the outside, you may look capable, responsible, and successful. Inside, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, or haunted by experiences you thought you had moved past. You overthink, stay busy, care for everyone else, and rarely feel fully at ease. Perhaps you understand your patterns intellectually but still cannot change them—or you are simply tired of performing “fine.” I work with adults who are ready to heal from trauma, quiet the constant mental noise, and feel more grounded, confident, and connected.

I'm EMDR-trained, and my approach is experiential: we build safety first, then work with your body and nervous system directly, not just talk about what happened.

It’s been a while since you’ve felt like yourself. You feel unsettled because you’re disconnected from your mind, body, and true self. Maybe you don’t know who you really are anymore since you’ve been trapped in this pattern of people-pleasing, ignoring your problems, and feeling overwhelmed by your emotions. You’ve slipped into a cycle of negative thoughts that you can’t seem to find peace from and it’s impacting your sleep, confidence, and self-worth. You’re feeling out of control and you’re not sure how to escape.

I believe every individual has the ability to change their circumstances by focusing on the elements which are within their control. Equally as important, we must learn to let go of situations over which we are powerless. By sharing experiences with another person and working through the obstacles that inhibit the life we desire, it is possible to create a life which allows us to thrive. My goal is to assist you in this process by providing a safe environment where you can be open and honest with yourself.

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.
