Codependency Therapists in Milwaukee, WI
I am a good fit for people who feel lost or un-compassed in their life due to codependency (a chronic neglect of the Self) and/or trauma.
Clients often come to therapy feeling stuck in some significant ways. I try to balance providing relief to those stuck areas along with helping clients gain insight into why they may have become stuck in the first place. I help clients to examine the themes of their life. Together we work to change out the maladaptive story for an adaptive one.

My areas of focus include post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, self-harming behaviors, attachment disruptions, codependency, healing after sexual abuse, healing after narcissistic abuse, and interpersonal relationships.
I am passionate and dedicated to the healing journeys of survivors who have been through traumatic experiences. I am certified in trauma informed care and I have experience working with adolescent and adult clients from various backgrounds with complex trauma histories. My approach is collaborative, nurturing, empathetic, direct, and non-judgmental because I believe a safe, warm, and accepting environment is essential to the therapeutic process and in guiding clients through their healing and grief; and the thoughts and emotions that go with them.

I've specialized in relationship and parenting issues, particularly inter-racial relationship issues; alcohol/drug abuse, codependency, adult children of alcoholics, and family of origin issues.
Does being in love mean being in pain? Are you and your significant other having a hard time communicating or getting your needs met? Are you confused, anxious, sad or angry? Are you feeling less motivated? Having difficulty concentrating or sleeping? Do you feel distracted and find it hard to follow through? Are you questioning your goals or feel stuck? Are you questioning your family of origin and feel you have issues from the past that are unresolved? Are you grieving the loss of someone? Do you worry about yourself or your significant other and their bad habits? Are you a survivor?

I specialize in working with concerns related to ADHD/neurodivergence, codependency, and trauma.
Are you a "people pleaser"? Stuck in a cycle of giving to others, leaving nothing for yourself? You may even know the cause of these patterns and have strong self awareness-but still struggle to make meaningful change. If this resonates with you and you are ready to dig deeper than simply being "self aware", you've come to the right place. Together, we will discover what's hurting, tackle any obstacles to your growth, and help you build a more connected, peaceful life.

Coming to therapy doesn't mean something is wrong with you, or you failed because you couldn't "fix it" yourself. However, like many people I see, you might consider yourself aggressively capable. As a result, you may find it hard to trust and rely on others. When you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders and are reluctant to ask for help, it is likely to lead to overwhelm. Here's what's true: your well-being MATTERS and affects the quality of your life and relationships. We'll work to identify what's in the way of living a more satisfying and fulfilling life.

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.
