Issues I commonly help with are family of origin problems, dating, premarital issues, infertility, pregnancy & postpartum issues, codependency, and mood disorders.
Your decision to start the journey of healing is a tremendous act of love turned inward. In individual counseling, I provide support and encouragement as you rewrite your story and work toward creating the life you want. In the couples therapy process, partners learn to improve communication, build intimacy, and solve conflict in a respectful way. All of my sessions are trauma sensitive and will be a safe space for repair.

I have a private practice in which I focus on trauma, grief, family of origin, interpersonal relationships, and codependency issues.
Therapy can be daunting, and the process can be slow and tough. It also brings opportunity. Opportunity can bring hope, new coping skills, a different perspective, healing, and so much more. The hardest part - but often the most exciting part - can be deciding where to begin. I value and honor the starts, stops, and all that is in between. I have been in the clinical mental health field since 1986, so one could say I've been around the block. With that experience, I help my clients find their paths, and I serve as a witness to their growth.

Struggling to show up in a world that tells you “you’re too much” and to "stop being so sensitive"? Having thoughts that no one will ever get you because you’re constantly told to “just get over it”? If you don't fit in the mold for attempting to speak your truth, this creates debilitating stress and anxiety. The need to feel safe, seen, and heard IS REAL. You want to show up real AF, comfortable in your own skin, surrounded by people who emotionally support and value YOU. But how do you stand up to all of this toxic energy when you’re feeling so damn drained and exhausted by all the drama?

Am I the problem, or is it them? Do you often question if your relationship is right for you? You’re feeling more distant from your partner and find yourself constantly arguing with them, but it used to not be this way. Your resentment has been building over time and you’re not sure how to communicate with them in a way that makes you feel understood. You’re afraid to lose the relationship, but not sure how to move forward. Maybe they’re resistant to couple’s therapy, or you just want some space to figure out your part.

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.
