Depression, anxiety, trauma or codependency are exhausting challenges, but they are also deeply human, and you don't have to face them alone.
Often accomplished, capable individuals have private struggles even while appearing composed and managing responsibilities. You may experience conflict in relationships, anxiety, burnout, low self-worth, unresolved trauma, unprocessed grief, battle with work challenges, long for meaningful connections and want to live with a deeper sense of purpose. This requires a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore the layers beneath your day-to-day stress. I focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship to enable healing, help you untangle confusing or heavy feelings and facilitate insight that supports sustainable psychological change.

Starting counselling can feel like a big step, especially if you’re not sure what to expect. Much of my work is with LGBTQ+ clients, neurodiverse clients, and those navigating sex and intimacy. These can be very sensitive topics, which is why creating a space that feels safe, supportive, and genuinely comfortable is one of my highest priorities. For anyone who doesn't have all the words yet, for anyone who feels different - let's create a space where you can put down the mask and focus on the journey forward.

Codependency Counsellors
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.
