I look forward to meeting new clients - people who are ready to make life changes. My approach is to help others become aware of what triggers their negative feelings of rejection, abandonment, anger and hurt. Together we explore ways to eliminate unwanted behaviors and to learn positive ways to relate to others. I will help you on a road of self-discovery as you learn to identify and to understand your feelings and their origins. I like to do all of this with a sense of humor and positive reinforcement. I enjoy being with people on their journey. EXPERIENCE WITH FIRST RESPONDERS(POLICE, FIRE, CORRECTIONS, EMT).

Another Sunday. Where did Saturday go? Where did Friday night go? Where have the past few months gone? What am I even doing anymore? Everyone tells me how good a person I am and how smart I am....why don't I feel that way? I make so many promises to myself, but I do nothing. Why even try? I just don't know where to start and I hate it. This just isn't working for me anymore and I'm scared I won't be able to get it together. I think I need someone to talk to.

If you have been considering therapy but think it’s not for you, you are not alone. The therapeutic process can feel scary or oppressive, or we are taught that it is “not what we do in our family.” Maybe you need someone who has spent more than 12 years professionally working with adolescents and families of all ages, as a teacher and therapist. If you have an adolescent who is going through something you can’t seem to understand, I am here to connect with them and help them figure it out.

Sometimes it can be hard to get through the day, and even harder to get through the night. Sometimes we can feel lost, empty, unmotivated, angry or anxious. Maybe all at once, or maybe we feel nothing at all. Feeling trapped, confused, and stuck in our emotions, thoughts, or circumstances can be painful; it doesn’t have to be.

Everyone deserves to live a life full of enrichment, and personal fulfillment.

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.
