Essex, MD 21221
I grew up in a culture that wasn’t accommodating to mental health challenges. People suffered in secret, died in secret, especially with mental health-related struggles. Children are exposed at very tender ages to alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs, and cigarettes. Even as a child, I imagined there were better ways. This triggered my interest in working in the mental health field. With extensive experience in multicultural sensitive therapeutic skills. I am committed to supporting individuals, couples, families, and groups in developing the right coping skills to better handle challenging life, behavioral, and mental health issues.

My ideal client is someone who has reached a point in their life where they recognize that something needs to change. They may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves. Perhaps they are struggling with anxiety that makes it hard to focus, or with depression that leaves them feeling stuck and unmotivated. Some may be navigating life transitions such as relationship challenges, grief, parenthood, or career stress. Others may be carrying the weight of past trauma or experiences that continue to affect their daily lives.

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.

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.
