Codependency Therapists in Apex, NC
Substance addiction, anxiety, trauma, anger, codependency and fear keep us from achieving our goals and being the best version of ourselves.
I help clients speak their truth and accept that truth in order to be able to move forward towards their goals. I do this using CBT, person-centered therapy, DBT and ACT as well as reality therapy. I encourage clients to focus on wellness while developing new skills to navigate their individual circumstances.

You may be here because traditional therapy never quite fit. You’re self-aware, intuitive, possibly neurodivergent, & spiritually curious but religion and colonized systems don’t resonate. If you’re the black sheep, cycle-breaker, or someone who’s felt misunderstood in therapy, you’re not alone.

One size does not fit all. My work is based on a solid foundation of attachment/analytic theory (integrating neuroscience) with 23 years of experience.

Together we will gently bring to light the
“why” underneath feelings or patterns that may be keeping you stuck. We will work together to free you to leave “fight or flight” and move forward with joy. Connecting to a sense of safety is the first step.

Therapy is a collaborative effort between the person seeking assistance and the professional. Often times you know what you need, you simply need a sounding board and perhaps someone less emotionally invested in the situation to help clarify and encourage action and change. A fresh perspective may give way to new ideas, new coping skills and more tools to help manage every day life and stressors.

Reconnection to yourself is possible. Mending & growth can happen through understanding our sensory system and boundaries, identifying the parts and systems limiting embodiment, and engaging resources that help move us through what feels stuck. My practice approach is both compassionate and affirming; working in collaboration with my clients on their healing while offering a gentle, exploratory container to sense, feel and move. If talk-therapy only went so far or wasn’t enough, you might find that the somatic practices and ecotherapy, I offer, can better support your therapy.

Have you come to a point in your life where you feel like you could use some support? Well, you are in good company. In this fast-paced world with an endless list of demands and responsibilities we sometimes feel we are being pulled in so many different directions that we can’t keep up. With so much attention focused on work, our relationships, parenting etc. we often lose sight of what we want in life. Sometimes we find that we are merely going through the motions and missing out on the meaningful connections with the people that we love. I enjoy helping people connect back to who they are and what brings them joy in life.

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.
