I provide support for people pleasers and perfectionists, I work with addiction and 12 Step recovery, and with those struggling with codependency and disruptive relationship patterns.
I am passionate and committed to helping my clients wake up to their true self that has always been there, but might be buried beneath layers of hurt, loss, trauma, grief, and learned patterns of behavior. Through my own journey of growth and healing, I want you to experience the same thing, discovering your sense of worth and value. My goal is to create a safe place where we can explore, seek answers, and address struggles and challenges you are facing. We will grapple with what to hold on to and what to unlearn or discard, and help you develop a relationship with yourself that feels good, grounded, and meaningful.

I work well with identifying and healing codependency patterns within the system.
I love working with clients that are actively on the path of healing. I have extensive experience working with addiction (both process and substance) and trauma and welcome sober and newly sober people to step in to a process with me. I am an 'out of the box' therapist and work best with those that are open to doing their therapeutic work 'beyond the talking'. In addition to recovery I love to help people identify ways in which to be more fully who they know inside that they are - even if they don't have the fully formed picture of what that is yet!

After experiencing my own life-changing therapeutic journey, it is my greatest honor to hold space for others during theirs.

Prior to beginning clinical practice, I taught high school students in Metro Nashville where I was fortunate to learn from the resiliency of young people. This invaluable time eventually lead me to pursuing counseling. My clinical experience has primarily been within community centers serving diverse populations, which has informed my perspective as a culturally-competent, dynamic practitioner. Areas of clinical focus are academic issues, addiction, anxiety, codependency, depression, LGBTQ+ identities, life transitions, PTSD, and trauma.

I specialize in the field of codependency and adult children from difficult family backgrounds.
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed or anxious? Life can become unmanageable and stressful for anybody. Feelings of anxiety and depression can occur from time to time, but if these feelings become ongoing or are affecting your career, relationships or goals, then seeing a therapist is helpful, even life changing. Are you having insomnia, panic attacks, social anxiety or just feeling lost, these are all indications that you deserve some help. We go to a physician when physically ill, but do we take care of our mental health the same way? We are taught to stay strong, but sometimes strong, means finding the courage to ask for help.

Specializing in recovery management, I believe a new life without chemical dependency begins once a commitment to change and a desire to discover the true self is sought. Recovery support for individuals and families is my primary focus with studies showing positive outcomes increase with a continuum of care beyond initial treatment.

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.
