I help adults recovering from Trauma and PTSD and Codependency.
Do you ever wonder why you can't "let it go"? Do you wrestle with feelings of resentment, confusion and guilt about a past or current relationship? When you see someone or something that reminds you of the past, do you instantly become fearful, furious, nauseated, or even disoriented? Are there everyday experiences (like going to the doctor) that bring intense fear? Have you kept all this to yourself due to embarrassment? Are you a Christian who worries that your symptoms might be a sign of lack of faith?

Hello, and welcome! What a big step you've taken by looking for help; I know it wasn't easy, but the hardest part is now behind you. My approach to therapy was born out of my passion for supporting and witnessing people on their journey to finding themselves. Along the way, my top priority is to hold compassionate space for all of you - all of your joy and sorrow, your fear and anger, your old wounds and new. I primarily specialize in working with neurodivergent adults and people struggling with numbness, anger, codependency, substance use, or low self-esteem due to trauma related to relationships, family, or adverse experiences.

I am also experienced with issues such as adoption and foster care, blended family, stress, codependency, commitment, communication problems, and domestic violence.
I have been in the helping field for over 30 years. I have experience in clinical practice as well as being a university professor. My belief is that life is not a straight line nor sequential. However, with the right support, you can find solutions and contentment. I will facilitate and empower you on your journey. While I firmly believe in discussing the origin of the issues, I am also practical and do believe in solutions. As such, together we implement tools while continuing to explore the issues deeper. Finally, the "fit" between the therapist and client is clinically crucial. I am happy to meet for a consultation.

I use narrative therapy to address anger in women, conflict in family relationships, codependency, sexuality and setting boundaries.
We're supposed to drink enough water, get enough sleep, exercise, save money, make money, work hard while having work/life balance, be a great spouse/parent/sibling/child, travel more...the list is endless. We are taught to engage life at a grueling and intense pace that is becoming increasingly difficult in the backdrop of a tumultuous world in crisis. I don't view mental health in a vacuum; sometimes depression and anxiety are appropriate and healthy responses to stressful and unprecedented life events. I teach solution-oriented skills to address feelings, improve communication and live in a healthy way that honors your humanity.

My ideal client struggles to see themselves as lovable or as a gift. Preferably a young adult or middle-aged male. Preferably trauma related to emotional abuse, attachment issues, and interpersonal relationships. I would love their goal as an inverse of the golden rule. Do unto yourself as you would do unto others. They must have their expectations for themselves and others on the same scale, balancing each other out. I would like to work with a client who wants this but doesn't know how and a client who is skeptical that this is possible.

This profession is personal for me because growing up I never saw many people who looked like me that were therapist. Additionally, I wanted to erase the mental health stigma in the African American community and bring awareness that just because a person seeks therapy does not mean they are crazy. In my opinion, everyone could use therapy. I don't know anyone that does not have some issues that he or she can be working on in therapy.

Do you ever feel like an imposter or struggle with feelings of inadequacy? Perhaps you lean towards perfectionism and feel like nothing you ever do is quite enough. Is it sometimes hard for you to set boundaries or take care of your needs? Many people with childhood trauma grapple with these difficulties and more. It may be hard for you to feel connected with others or to shake off feelings of loneliness. Sometimes you might even feel like it's hard to enjoy the good things in your life.

As a Queer therapist and spiritual companion, I like to do things a little differently. At this time in my career, I’m mostly working with beloved humans who are bravely journeying through deconstructing their religion of origin and are wanting to explore a spirituality beyond religion. I’m doing this because it was part of my story and was a life-altering transformation I wrestled on my own. The good news for me was coming out the other side as my truest self, and with a new expansive spirituality that feeds my seeker-soul and fills me with awe and wonder (without the rules and guilt/shame). You belong here. IFS-informed.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. When thinking about the stages of change, I prefer to meet clients where they are; and am willing to work at a pace they feel comfortable with at the start of treatment. Individuals come to treatment with a myriad of goals and needs. Specific issues may be difficult to pinpoint. However, one of my goals in the overall process is to see clients who are open to changing their current dynamic or patterns, with the hope of a more favorable outcome.

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.
