I offer treatment for additional concerns including: codependency /family conflict, anxiety, and complex trauma.
You look in the mirror and see the "bad" traits. That you're not thin enough, not smart enough, not "good" enough. You realize that these traits were projected there by someone else--a past partner, or maybe even a parent. You want to recover from perhaps a lifetime of emotional pain and narcissistic abuse but you don't know where to begin...I specialize in treating individuals who are adult children of narcissists, and those who may be struggling with disordered eating and body image issues. I can support you in developing your inner strengths so that when you look in the mirror it will be your true self staring back at you.

I also specialize in treating Borderline Personality Disorder(BPD), using a psychodynamic, family of origin lens. My overarching area of expertise is trauma, complex trauma and PTSD. I hold a certificate in Integrative Somatic Trauma Recovery. I believe healing is a holistic endeavor, and depth psychology can be integrated with somatic work to unite body and mind, and help us to know and befriend ourselves on a multitude of layers.

I focus on codependency , burnout, perfectionism and compassion fatigue.
I believe that when we're honest about the causes of suffering, space opens up to be creative in making our lives closer to something we really want. I see myself as your partner in rigorously confronting what is true in your life, and finding space to make real change. It is very important to me to be affirming of all genders and expressions, and to be an active anti-racist ally.

These often interlink with a wider range of issues that I also work with including, but not limited to, work-related stress, self-doubt, life changes, grief, codependency , addiction, and trauma.
Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of daily life or held back by painful experiences from the past, you do not have to face life's challenges alone. I view therapy as a collaborative process that is built upon openness, understanding, and hope. I believe the most important relationship you have is with yourself. My work with clients centers around developing a healthy sense of self in order to manage life’s difficulties more easily. Effective communication is at the core of my work with couples and families. I enjoy partnering with clients to foster new dynamics when old ways of relating are no longer working.

I have extensive training in working with individuals with issues concerning: * Marriage and family counseling * Work with blended families * Codependency * Communications * Conflict resolution * Family conflict * Coping skills * Family conflicts * Pre-marital counseling * Addictions.
Everyone seeks love and happiness in their lives, but for many of us, this requires work. Although being intimately attached to another can bring healing and joy, sometimes we begin to question our relationships. For over 38 years, I have been helping couples restore those relationships that have hit a rough patch. It is my goal to help couples find their way back to each other by empowering them with the tools to understand each other and heal themselves and their relationships.

I specialize in working with those who are struggling with life transitions, trauma/PTSD, relationship issues, loss and grief, terminal illness, infidelity, abuse, chronic pain, spiritual pain, codependency , loneliness, depression and anxiety.
I am a L.P.C. with a MS degree in Pastoral Care and Counseling. I believe that it is helpful to bring your spiritual beliefs into the healing process. Starting psychotherapy is the beginning of feeling at home with yourself. It is a place where you can feel safe, grounded and secure, as you explore the difficult areas in your life that you may not want to face alone. Therapy can help you identify unhealthy thinking, and break destructive patterns, so you can make better choices. It also helps you to discover your own inner strengths that can bring deeper healings from within. We are all a work in progress!

I specialize in working with folks who have difficulty in their personal relationships. That might mean you've been "chronically single" all your life and don't want to be. Or it might mean that your current relationship is painful in ways that feel both familiar and confusing somehow, or your last one ended painfully. Maybe you've been betrayed, or you betrayed someone. Maybe you're worried that you have a sexual problem that makes you unlovable, or you struggle with boundaries. Or, maybe you feel like you've only ever really been attracted to the ones who don't love you back.

Have you been feeling discouraged because you repeat the same ADHD patterns and don’t know how to change? Do you feel embarrassed when you measure time wrong and miss deadlines, procrastinate, or falter on commitments to friends and family? You are NOT alone. I’ve been there myself and I know how these patterns can leave you feeling ashamed, self-critical, or hopeless. Having an ADHD brain in a capitalist society is hard, and you need specialized support. Through therapy that is designed with your brain in mind, you can learn to befriend instead of battle yourself.

My clients come to me because they want to deepen and strengthen their relationships - not just with each other, but with themselves. They want to understand the family and societal systems that shaped them into who they are today, and to heal old wounds and trauma so that they can move forward from a place of strength, healing, and connection. Many of my clients exist at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities, and have struggled to find a therapist who will understand and not further stigmatize their identities, and who is committed to unlearning systems of oppression. I seek to provide a healing space for them.

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.
