I have additional training in relationship issues and codependency, people pleasing, and perfectionism.
Hi! I am a registered psychotherapist with a background in community health nursing and have worked with many people from different communities in my career. I know from personal experience that relationships and life transitions are not easy - I can help you work through the hard times and deal with challenging relationships. I am a very good listener and work hard to help people learn about themselves and find ways to manage anxiety, stress, depression or just the feeling of being "off". I can also help you figure out patterns in your relationships that are causing anger, sadness, a sense of emptiness, or guilt.

Do you walk on eggshells or do you live to please others for fear of making others upset? The reason you can’t seem to heal your chronic stress & depression, health and finances in your relationship, isn't because you haven't already tried talk therapy and various healing modalities; it’s because of a dysregulated nervous system and codependency from long-term narcissistic abuse with an angry person. You need to break free and heal from this within, untangle the confusion in your mind, gain clarity and be your sovereign and most authentic self, where you validate and approve of your core self. Feel safe and confident to be you.

You will learn to break negative patterns, set boundaries, regulate your emotions, codependency, and explore the future of your relationships.
Do you feel trapped in a cycle of strained relationship? You feel like people in your life are pushing your triggers and it is causing you more distress than bringing you peace. This type of anxiety, anger, stress, sadness can take a toll on you. No matter what you are doing, you end up feeling like the bad person every single time. You feel like you are not enough in the relationship and you feel like you are the only one wanting this relationship to work. When there is past trauma or the other person is not willing to work with you, healing and moving forward becomes harder. We start wondering if we are the problem.

Whether you feel stuck, angry, hopeless or anxious, I believe change is possible. Often the distressing or traumatizing things in our lives are made worse by isolation. Having someone who is remembering that you are doing the best that you can at every moment and sees your strengths can lead to shifts in painful feelings. This can also help you change how you see yourself. I will listen to you and support you with whatever feelings, thoughts or circumstances you find troubling.

I'm looking forward to meeting you, and I recognize how difficult it can be to create change in our lives. We may feel pain or discomfort when experiencing loss, anxiety, trauma, or substance abuse, and it may be challenging to do this alone. Having experienced many difficult life events, such as divorce, death of a spouse, and being a mom of 3 adult children, I sought therapy to get me through the challenges I was experiencing. I know the pain that accompanies major life transitions and how overwhelming life can be when you feel like you have no control or support.

I encouraged clients to access inner strengths and free their capacity for growth.

I guide people through powerful life transitions and support them through the process of self-discovery and rebirth. Self-awareness is essential to overcoming life's obstacles. But there's often a catch isn't there. The story you tell yourself, it seems to have an agenda of its own. (I'm not good enough, someone's always achieving more than me. Why do I have to do all the work?) So how do you move beyond your current thinking? What has actually happened to warrant your thinking? What's been the core pattern in your relationships till now, and what happens when you challenge that pattern? Pause.... and sit with these questions.

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.
