Codependency Therapists in Belfair, WA
Therapy is a unique journey for each individual.
My approach is eclectic and client-centered, grounded in the belief you are the expert of your own story—the traumas you've endured, the life you've lived. I’m here as a clinician who values walking alongside you, collaborating to create a plan that supports your growth, builds new skills, and helps you reconnect with the most authentic version of yourself.
I truly believe each of us has a purpose—a reason for being—that can sometimes be obscured by the weight we carry. Therapy, to me, is a space to gently unpack the heaviness, to breathe, and to learn how to move forward.

Do you wake up wondering how life got so hard? Maybe your mind won’t slow down, anxiety keeps you on edge, or you feel stuck between where you are and where you want to be. If your past or fear of the future feels heavy, you’re not alone—and things can begin to feel different.

Together, we’ll gently explore what’s contributing to your distress and build practical tools you can use in daily life. I offer a warm, engaged approach rooted in empathy, honesty, and genuine care as we work toward meaningful change.

Are these thoughts familiar: "Why...?" "I can't seem to get out of this rut!" "I'm so tired of being tired." "I'm not me anymore." "I can't concentrate. I can't sleep. I worry all the time."
Depression, anxiety, and grief are often the result of difficult events. The effects of trauma are forced upon us. Our body remembers and, over time, creates defenses that help us get through the experience.
Our body speaks to us, but most often we either do not listen or do not understand what it is saying. I'll work with you to learn your body's language, bring unconscious responses to the surface, and reframe them in meaningful terms.

Welcome! I am a licensed psychologist specializing in challenges with self-worth and relational trauma, as well as the feelings of depression, anxiety, or numbness that often occur with these experiences. My work is rooted in attachment-focused and trauma-informed approaches - I help people understand how relationships (especially the earliest ones in our lives) impact being able to feel emotionally safe with themselves and others. I especially enjoy helping people get out of their heads and into their hearts, or do the opposite when it would help to slow down our emotional experiences to make sense of them.

I work with adults and couples, including neurodiverse individuals, who feel stuck in patterns in their relationships or emotional lives. Many come in struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, trauma, or feeling misunderstood or disconnected from their partner. They want more clarity, better communication, and a stronger sense of connection but aren’t sure how to get there. Together, we begin to understand what’s beneath these patterns so things can start to feel different.

As an experienced anxiety & codependency couples therapist, I believe that you can live a calm, confident, and fulfilled life.
Currently accepting Couples-
You probably aren't surprised when I tell you that overanalyzing WHY you might be anxious rarely helps. You feel at a loss on how to communicate your needs to your partner. You don't need "get over it" it or minimize your pain, but instead learn how to work with it. You used to be good at hiding it, but lately you can't hold it all together and now it's affecting your relationship. Maybe you don't even remember life without anxiety. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for relief. You're ready to trust and feel secure in your relationship again, ready to handle whatever life throws at you, together.

I have facilitated codependency and trauma/abuse groups for women for more than a decade.
I take a relational approach when working with clients. We have all been shaped by both our personal history and intergenerational history. Anyone who would invest considerable time, energy, emotion, and money into therapy desires clarity and awareness. Oftentimes, clients have never been given a safe place to process the underlying reasons for the present-day issues. Nor have they been asked the right questions that would help them reflect on the joy and pain that was and is present. This is needed to develop a sense of self. We were harmed in relationship and we heal in relationship. This is why therapy is so powerful.

You may feel stuck despite insight and effort, noticing repeated patterns in relationships, work, or faith. While life may look functional on the outside, internally you may struggle with anxiety, shame, emotional reactivity, or a sense that something essential is missing. You want more than symptom relief—you want to understand how past experiences shaped these patterns and how to live with greater freedom and integrity.

I specialize in IFS therapy for neurodivergent adults (especially ADHD, AuDHD, and high-masking tech professionals) working through shame, burnout, codependency, executive dysfunction, addiction issues, and recurring relationship patterns.
I work best with high-masking neurodivergent adults (ADHD, AuDHD, autistic traits) who look fine on the outside but privately deal with burnout, overthinking, shame, procrastination, and relationship patterns they can’t logic their way out of.
Many of my clients are tech professionals, engineers, entrepreneurs, or analytically minded people who can hold complexity at work but feel stuck in the relationships and routines that matter most. They’ve often done therapy, read the books, and built insight. The behavior still does not reliably change.

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.
