I am competent to work with most presenting concerns - so please reach if you think it may be a great fit for you! Presently, my main area of focus is ADHD, codependency, anxiety, and impacts of emotionally neglectful or immature parents.
If you find yourself on this site – you are likely looking for help. There is no problem too small or too large that counseling can’t help. Your life may feel disrupted from a new change or feel weighted by the same chronic feelings. You may feel objectively everything ‘should’ feel fine, and yet struggle to feel fulfillment. You may find yourself in a cycle of control trying to fix things on your own, only for more problems to come up. I would love to help you find what you are looking for and more! I practice telehealth only and can cover across Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas!

I specialize in codependency, self-worth struggles, anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, stress management, as well as general issues.
Have you been having trouble sleeping, maybe it’s hard to turn your thoughts off? Have you wondered “Why am I like this? What is wrong with me?” “My problems aren’t even that bad. I should be grateful.” If so, let’s work together to identify and learn techniques to manage and recognize those thoughts for what they are- unhelpful thinking habits. I work from a Person-Centered approach, which means I put you first as a person, treat you with respect, and provide a nonjudgmental environment where you can grow, learn, and shape your own potential.

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.
