If you’ve tried traditional talk therapy and felt like something was missing, you’re not alone. Healing isn’t just about talking—it’s about experiencing change on a deeper level. You’re here because you’re ready to do the work, and I’m here to help guide you through it. I take a different approach to therapy—one that goes beyond just processing thoughts and feelings. My work is rooted in attachment-based, trauma-informed, and somatic practices, focusing on the mind-body connection and how past experiences shape the present. Healing can happen in many ways, and together, we’ll find what works best for you.

I have found a purpose which is aimed at serving others by first providing them hope and letting them know they are not alone in whatever their struggle is. All suffering is common to man and there is comfort in this knowledge. Next I aim to provide practical tools and techniques to make changes that move the client towards their own directed goals. I seek to balance all that psychology has to offer a client on any given problem, while also integrating a consistent Christian worldview as we find this healthy balance in day to day living. Always moving and progressing towards improvement and growing in contentment and satisfaction.

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.
