I use coping skills based in CBT, DBT, IFS, and codependency recovery.
Do you struggle with feeling under-appreciated in your closest relationships? Do you believe you give so much, only to be let down by those who you care the most about? Do you seem to have a pattern of attracting people who hurt you? Is it hard to get others to listen to you? I understand and I am here to help! My professional identity focuses on unraveling patterns of interpersonal dysfunction, often triggered by trauma and adverse experiences in both childhood and adulthood. My goal is to help you achieve a sense of increased personal wellness and overcome the unhealthy relationship patterns you seem to be stuck in.

Do parts of you feel worry, restlessness, or overwhelm? Do you have a critical voice that's really harsh? Have you noticed yourself feeling hopeless, stuck, only to shut down, get lost in distraction, spend money, or reach for comfort through something familiar and unhealthy? My clients learn how to separate from the parts of them that take over, understand their intended function, allow their true self to take the lead, and access curiosity, calm, connectedness, and clarity. While proficient in various forms of talk therapy which I integrate into session, I’ve found specialization/focus on IFS therapy most helpful for my clients.

Psychotherapy is a process of resolution, discovery, and relationship. My approach to treatment allows the opportunity for dialogue in a safe, relaxed and confidential environment. While suffering is an unavoidable aspect of our lives, I assist my clients in gaining an understanding of their own strengths and abilities to overcome many difficulties.

Coming from a diverse and experienced background, my qualifications and training in various disciplines have helped me to expand on an innate ability to cater to a client’s individual needs and potential. I do not believe “one size fits all” which means that each client is given services unique to them and the intricacies of their life, their experiences. This approach is coupled with an individual professional style and conscientious quality of service. I run a “gold standard” practice with a personal belief of “people before profits”. Quite simply, I care about people and help people to care about themselves.

As John Lennon wrote "Life is what happens when we're busy making other plans". In addition to re-adjusting to life after the pandemic, the political landscape may also lead to feeling somewhat disconnected from family and friends. Many people continue to experience anxiety, depression and relationship issues as a result. Most of my clients had initial reservations about trying telehealth but, much like everything else lately, we’re resilient and go with the flow. The benefits of telehealth are that you don’t have to travel, scheduling is much easier and you can be seen wherever you have internet (must be in NJ during session).

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.
