Don't waste your life obsessing about the problems of someone else. Don't spend all your energy trying to control the behaviors of anyone. Codependency is a real addiction that masquerades as love. Love shouldn't hurt...love isn't self-destructive, but codependency is. This is an area of psychotherapy that I know VERY well. I will help you put the focus back on your own life - where it belongs. Nothing is more maddening than trying to do the impossible again and again only to fail again and again. That's codependency in a nut shell. The good news is that you can recover from codependency and learn to be happy. I use Reality Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy interventions to help you get your life back in order and I will teach you ways to change codependent patterns so you can make healthy, self-respecting choices for a better life.
"I take care of everyone else and have no time left for myself."
"I just want to be treated by my friends and family the way I treat them. I'm a really good friend but it doesn't feel like I get treated the same way in return."
Learn how to take care of yourself without guilt. I can help you recognize codependent patterns and help you find release from the trap of taking care of everyone but yourself.
Do you feel like your relationships are one-sided? Like you are always there for others and no one is ever there for you? Is it difficult for you to relax and take care of yourself without feeling guilty? Learn to recognize these and other codependent patterns and find a sense of ease within yourself and your relationships, letting go of the trap of tending to everyone else while neglecting your own needs.

Codependency is often an under the radar "suffer in silence" experience. It often goes on undetected and only becomes a problem when it's a really big problem. Maybe you're in an unhealthy relationship or just got out of one? Maybe you feel a lack of self-esteem, a compulsion to people please, or a lack of boundary in your life? Maybe it feels like everything is on your shoulders and you can seem to feel valuable unless you're providing value to others. If any of this sounds like you, I'm glad you're here. In our work together, I will be helping you find the roots that have led you to operating in a codependent way as well has helping you understand and challenge familiar programs so you can have relationships that feel more loving, safe, and reciprocal. You don't have to go it alone; I look forward to meeting you.
