Areas of interest/specialty: cancer, chronic illness, somatization and prevention, addiction (alcohol, drugs or processes), grief and loss, post-partum, adjustment/life changes, anxiety, caregiver stress, codependency, and narcissistic, abusive and other challenging relationships.
Life is complex. I am of the belief that wisdom lies within ourselves. We just aren't looking or listening correctly. And why would we? We are taught to consider a million other things. We need the courage to ask for guidance, recognize it and act on it with confidence. We understand the world in different ways. This is painted by our family, culture, experiences, and beliefs. If you have the courage to be vulnerable with me, my goal is to help you achieve clarity and peace.

My clients tend to have struggles with attachment and relational wounds, boundaries, people-pleasing, depression, anxiety, rumination, or low self-esteem. You might struggle with asking for what you want, sharing how you feel, or showing up as your authentic self. You may find it hard to process your emotions or you may be realizing just how much your past experiences have influenced your present.

The decision to come to therapy can be an intimidating one. You know your experiences and how they impacted you, but what’s next? Experiencing issues with self-worth, self-esteem, strained relationships, or questioning your identity can be overwhelming and exhausting, leading to lack of confidence, uncertainty, indecision, and feeling stuck. Traumatic events can cause you to feel like you aren't able to move forward in life. Feeling misunderstood can be isolating. Managing it all alone is brutal; however, you do not have to go through this alone! Therapy can be freeing and life-changing when working with the right therapist.

Rather than bore you with my accomplishments, I hope to convey the essence of who I am & why I love what I do, in hopes of making your search a little less meh. I am a therapist who puts a quirky spin on professionalism and shows up to sessions as themselves. I believe therapy should be a real conversation, sprinkled with humor, challenges where needed, and a touch of psychoeducation. If you want a therapist that occasionally talks about Fortnite or being overstimulated, but shows up authentically to help understand the "why's", & gives alternative and realistic skills/tools for everyday stressors, I'm your girl.

There are many individuals who, at some point in their lives, will experience trauma. Often causing a myriad of ripple effects, trauma occurs in different ways for each person- such as depression, anxiety, co-dependency, negative self-image, and unhealthy family dynamics/relationships. Whether it stems from childhood, medical or mental health struggles, relationships, or specific events, there are various origins of trauma in our stories. I have experience walking alongside individuals to uncover how trauma changes one's mindset to aid them in getting to the root of unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors.

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.
