When you are feeling overwhelmed by life, a therapist can help you. You know that you want to feel better - and be better for yourself and others - but when you have been doing the things that have always worked in the past and find they are not working now, it may be time to enlist the support of a therapist. I love to work with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, sad, anxious, indecisive, or have any other painful emotion. Instead of feeling stuck, I want to help you feel empowered to move forward and help manage those painful feelings.

You’re in a really shitty place. You’re angry, drained, hurt and tired of the constant thought loop that never seems to shut off. You’re exhausted with trying to remain positive and that’s not working anymore. You have things you never really talked about that are still eating away at you. No one seems to get you, so you connect more with characters in your favorite tv shows, movies, or songs. You’re trying to navigate through new transitions or relationships, and nothing seems to be working out. You feel like you’ve hit a wall.

Sometimes self-help culture can make us feel like the only thing between us and change is our lack of willpower. But that's not always true. My therapy sessions are holistic, which means we'll be looking at how your environment, your relationships, and your inner world fit together. In short, we're not looking for what's wrong with you; we're working to understand what you need.
The therapy I practice is heavily inspired by Eastern philosophies like Buddhism which means we harness the power of acceptance to help you heal. In our sessions, healing isn't forced. It's what comes naturally when we uncover who you are and what you need.

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.
