As an experienced anxiety & codependency therapist, I believe that you can live a calm, confident, and fulfilled life.
You probably aren't surprised when I tell you that overanalyzing WHY you might be anxious rarely helps. Your anxiety is not a logic problem. It's not something you need to talk yourself out of, but instead learn how to work with. It might be hard to imagine life without this level of discomfort. Maybe you're good at hiding it, but lately you've been struggling & you feel embarrassed that you don't know how to hold it all together. You might not even remember when things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for relief. You're ready to feel calm, secure in yourself, & more adaptive to life's challenges.

Are you feeling drained by your relationships? Do you experience frequent fights with friends, siblings, partners, or work colleagues?

My experience as a counselor has equipped me to work with individuals, couples and families with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, addiction, codependency, trauma, and relationship issues.
I believe that therapy is about mining for an enlivened authenticity while reorienting one’s relationship to suffering. In successful therapy, the therapist is providing for the client a relationship unlike any the client has had before, where difficult - and often vulnerable - conversations are fostered within a safe container. From this is born new and more adaptive coping strategies, ways to move through conflict and pain, and recurring invitations to return to the present moment - with compassion.

Others face depression, suicidal ideation, anxiety, OCD or codependency.
You’ve spent a long time performing, doing what’s expected, trying to get it right, and holding it all together. Maybe you’ve already begun to question the systems and stories that shaped you or you’re feeling stuck at the edge of a big shift. You want more freedom, but also more connection. You want to feel real, more fully you, without losing everyone or everything in the process. You want to hold yourself through uncertainty, grief or anger without running away or shutting down. You want something new, even if you don’t yet know what that is. You want room to belong, to be present and to believe that being your self is enough.

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.
