Hi! I’m Meg and I am glad you're here. Looking for a therapist takes courage; I want to acknowledge the very challenging steps that you are taking to find support either for yourself or for a loved one. As a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) I view our mental wellbeing as a culmination of factors ranging from our genetics to our daily stressors which can sometimes make us feel like our world is crashing down all at once or that things are happening as a trickle with no rhyme or reason. Navigating our inner world simultaneously with the external world can be overwhelming.

You might be feeling stuck, caught in the same patterns even though you “know better.” Maybe you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship/marriage struggles, or a big life transition that has left you feeling overwhelmed. You may have even tried therapy or self-help before, but it never quite led to the lasting change you were hoping for. Together, we’ll look at what’s holding you back, uncover your strengths, and build the strategies you need to create the life you want - because real change starts with real talk.

The areas that I help my clients with are for those dealing with anxiety, depression, codependency, low emotional intelligence, addictions (especially sex/porn addiction), personality disorders and trauma.
I am here to help you! I think building trust is probably one of the most important things you need to establish when working with people, especially in therapy. I try to create a space of comfort to talk about uncomfortable things. It is important to know "the why" so I also try to teach and educate you about your issues and why they are happening.

You're drinking or using more than you want, but "alcoholic" doesn't fit and "fine" doesn't either. You've been making promises to yourself you break by Wednesday.
Or your partner is the one drinking or using. You've been counting drinks. Knowing the difference between drunk-quiet and "tired"-quiet. Telling friends "we're fine" because the real version is too much to explain in a parking lot.
Most of the people I work with hold jobs, raise kids, and have one private thing they can't keep ignoring. The label doesn't fit, but the life they're living doesn't either. That's the gap we work in.

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.
