Hi there! I love that you are thinking about starting therapy. I applaud you for your courage in doing so, I've done it myself and it's never easy! In fact, part of why I became a therapist is because it's hard to find a good therapist and so I wanted to fill those gaps. My ideal client is someone who is already somewhat self reflective, introspective and mindful of their own behavior patterns and wanting to expand on this knowledge and have someone else who is unbiased to hear them out. Life is chaotic and crazy, but can also be beautiful. I enjoy being there for the ups and downs, and sharing in the joys and the sorrows with you.

It is important to have a warm, safe place to discuss personal issues; a place where you can let your guard down and be accepted. Regardless of your stage of life, or the situation, your pain is real and can impact your life in many different ways. When faced with difficulties in your personal or work relationships, struggles with parenting, or any life transition, I believe that healthy and positive growth can result from a compassionate therapeutic relationship.

Feeling heard and validated is important for self discovery and growth. Reaching out for help can be very difficult at first. We all know that taking care of ourselves physically is important and now we know it is as important to take care of ourselves mentally and emotionally. Going to therapy is like going to the doctor for a cold or to the gym to gain some physical strength. The challenges you face deserve the very best care; together we can develop a strategy for better life satisfaction. I offer a relaxed, down‑to‑earth therapy style.

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.
