When one-hour therapy isn’t enough. You want to be a better partner, parent, and human, but traditional therapy hasn’t gone deep enough. You’re deeply empathetic, sensitive, and committed to growth—yet you still feel stuck in cycles of people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, or low self-worth. I offer extended trauma-focused sessions for when you’re ready to go beyond talk therapy and step into lasting healing.

You’re the one everyone relies on—but you’re exhausted from holding it all together. You handle things, push through, and keep going, no matter what. From the outside, you seem fine. Inside, you feel disconnected, stuck, or like something still isn’t working, despite how hard you try. I work with high-functioning women who are used to being the strong one—the caretakers, the “black sheep,” the ones who had to figure it out on their own. You feel deeply, but have had to push parts of yourself down. You carry guilt, self-doubt, and that underlying belief that maybe you didn’t do enough, didn’t love enough, or somehow got it wrong.

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.
