I specialize in helping clients recognize their own voice, understand interpersonal dynamics keeping them stuck, and differentiate within close relationships in which they may feel themselves getting "lost."
Codependent behaviors such as hyper-vigilence, people pleasing, self abandonment, belief of unworthiness, fear of others' emotional responses and/or abandonment, difficulty making and holding boundaries (and so many more) can make relationships a painful struggle. If you're noticing these patterns in your life, know that change is possible. Using a parts approach, mindfulness, and body awareness, we will gently untangle these maladaptive strategies so that you can better understand and meet the needs your system is attempting to communicate to you.
For those that were trained to self-abandon, returning "home" and learning to derive self worth from more reliable (internal) sources is one of the most rewarding achievements.

As I have worked in a number of community settings where recovery or addiction was an issue; including the LGBTQ community, survivors of sexaul violence/abuse, and homeless acute psychiatric individuals; I have encountered numerous people struggling with the impact of addiction on their lives. In addition, I worked with clients from families with addiction, which often foster codependent tendencies. I help clients understand boundaries and how important they are in preserving mental health.
In my practice, I offer a compassionate approach to clients struggling with co-dependency, utilizing a blend of holistic strategies and psychotherapeutic tools such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness. By focusing on building self-esteem, fostering independence, and promoting healthy relationship patterns, I guide clients through the process of understanding and overcoming the challenges of co-dependency. My approach is tailored to each individual's unique situation, incorporating stress management techniques, emotional regulation skills, and lifestyle adjustments that support mental and emotional well-being. Through our work together, clients learn to establish boundaries, communicate effectively, and cultivate self-reliance, empowering them to build more fulfilling and balanced relationships. Whether you're navigating the complexities of co-dependency or seeking to improve your relational dynamics, I'm here to support your journey towards greater autonomy and emotional health.
