I’ve also had great success in helping people work through the effects of growing up in a dysfunctional home and its resulting maladaptive coping techniques including addictions & codependency.
You have been living with the effects of trauma so long that it has become your normal. The reoccurring and disruptive reactions overwhelm you. The frequent mood swings, irritability and flashbacks are disrupting your life. Or you just feel something is wrong with your life but can't put a finger on it. You know drugs and alcohol are not the solution or made everything worse. You are starting to wonder if your negative thoughts and feelings will ever go away. With help they can. Seeking help from a therapist is scary. Finding someone you connect with and trust is hard. You are taking a giant step. And you are worth it.

You find yourself feeling like you are walking on eggshells around others. You wonder if you are wrong, selfish, and insensitive and worry about saying or doing the wrong thing. You end up feeling guilty, ashamed, or not good enough when you are around them, which is sad because you want to have good relationships. You hesitate to answer the phone when it rings or answer the door when you hear a knock. It would be a relief for you to be able to be yourself around the people that are so important to you. You wish you could share without the fear of not being liked, loved, or accepted.

My goal is not to keep you in therapy forever but instead give you the tools you need to be able to feel at peace and in love with your best life. I believe the relationship we have with ourselves and the filter we view the world through are key components that determine our happiness and satisfaction with ourselves, our lives. Once healing begins, the inevitable development of self worth and self esteem allows us to self actualize, feel at peace and live our lives to the fullest.

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.
