I also enjoy working with ROCD & codependency to establish healthy relationships.
Are you struggling with a pattern of over-extending yourself? Do you find yourself taking care of others, sometimes at your own expense? Have you noticed a not-so-secret desire for perfectionism lurking behind some of your choices? Would others describe you as "ultra-independent"? Do you often struggle with saying "no" and with stopping the worrying and planning? Have you noticed often feeling tired, irritable, burned out, and possibly resentful? How about frequent headaches, stomach issues, and body aches? Would you say all of this places a strain on your mood, relationships, work, and health?

I'm a culturally responsive Licensed Psychotherapist specializing in treating anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, and codependency issues.
Do you find that your self-worth and happiness are largely dependent on other people, places, and things? The validation gained from external variables tend to be short lived, leading to an overdrive in reassurance seeking behaviors, fear, anxiety, and sadness. No matter how difficult it may seem to feel secure within yourself, together we will pursue a journey of self-empowerment and self-compassion, to achieve exactly that! We will explore the root causes of current belief systems and attachment styles, while building an unshakable self-accepting relationship with yourself.

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.
