I specialize in working with individuals experiencing challenges including: trauma and PTSD, eating disorders, codependency, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and ADHD.
I believe therapy should be the right blend of supportive and challenging. I provide a warm and accepting environment while also striving to be as honest and direct about thought patterns and behaviors that may be holding you back. My ideal client is one who is open to learning about themselves and their patterns, who wants to be challenged, and who is able to identify their goals for therapy. They want to understand how they can work through issues from their past that may be preventing them from full engaging in their present.

Are you sensitive, emotionally intellegent, yet internally exhausted from relationships that have you doubting yourself. If you've experienced chronic emotional neglect, narcissistic abuse or learned early on to prioritize others at the expense of yourself, you may feel stuck in cycles of over-giving, self-blame, and nervous system overwhelm.
I work with adults who are ready to heal at the root level, not just manage symptoms. With over 20 years of clinical experience, I offer a grounded, relational, and body based approach that helps to unwind early childhood trauma, attachment wounds, and chronic nervous system dysregulation.

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.

In my practice I focus on those who have been feeling "stuck." You may have been to see therapists before, but the core problem doesn't seem to go away. The core of many issues related to depression, anxiety, and other life challenges come in how we process and manage emotions. When feeling "emotionally uncomfortable," some of us might lash out and others of us might shut down. The type that shuts down might get very quiet, or say everything is fine when it is not fine, and be very uncomfortable with the idea that others might know what is going on in their heads. While this can keep us feeling safe, it also can feel isolating.

I am interested in the challenges and advantages of what it means to be highly sensitive or an empath.

I specialize in helping high-achieving individuals navigate the complex relationship between anxiety and substance use.

I won't just nod and listen; I will actively help you build a toolkit to handle life’s stressors with clarity and confidence.

Life happens whether we want it to or not. Sometimes what happens is joyful, fulfilling, and transformative. It strengthens, affirms, and develops us. Other times what happens is shocking, stressful, or painful. It shakes us, urges us to question, and even wounds us. What has happened to you? And what is motivating you to sort through the 'stuff' that has happened or is happening? I will meet you at whatever stage, transition, or journey you are arriving and will work with you on all levels: mind, body, spirit.

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.
