Affair recovery, healing codependency, setting boundaries, parenting confident, and surrender are some of my passions!.
Do you feel stuck in unforgiveness, fear or reliving the past? You can't imagine a life not struggling. Tired of being tired and feeling alone and unseen. How do you get the noise of the thoughts to stop and how do you make the hurt stop when your mind tells you those feelings are irrational? Do you want to understand and finally heal from your past? Was that considered trauma? Are all these things triggers? The days seems long and the nights even longer. Are you able to serve and love on so many people and have so many people love you, yet you feel inauthentic and lonely?

Some of my specialties are helping individuals who struggle with: past & current trauma, anxiety, low-self esteem, relationship issues, PTSD, sexual abuse/assault, emotional abuse, over-thinkers, boundary setting, codependency, low-confidence & self-worth.
You are your best thing"-Toni Morrison. Growing through this journey we call life will unfortunately bring things you can't control & it's not always easy to cope & it's not always easy to talk to someone. Going to therapy doesn't "fix" you. It enhances you, it helps you to better understand why you struggle with certain patterns & behaviors & why you feel stuck at times. So, pat yourself on the back for choosing yourself, right now in this moment & for making the right decision to strive beyond where you are. Know you don't have to walk this journey alone.

If you've been struggling with anxiety or feeling overwhelmed, it can quickly become the most frustrating part of your life. Sometimes that feeling of worry can be so strong, things like going to work or out with friends is just too exhausting. It's like a repeating loop of racing thoughts or feeling tense and you can't figure out how to control it. If this goes on long enough, you may find yourself even more overwhelmed. If you're tired of feeling stuck, I'd like to help you overcome this problem and get back to living the life you want.

Let’s face it, life can be difficult. After all, life does not come with an owner’s manual and there is no contract signed between you and life. Success can be a burden, responsibility can be difficult and goals hard to achieve. So many obstacles, real and imagined can cloud our judgment. What do I do? Where do I belong? Am I happy doing what I do and where I am?

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.
