"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.
The goal in relationships is interdependency. In other words, one is not always doing the giving and the other always receiving, but each is strong enough to support the other when support is needed.
Our goal is to help you uncover your true potential, and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Our practice style is goal oriented using numerous approaches.
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.
Do you wonder sometimes if you may be CODEPENDENT? 'People pleasing', helping til it hurts, feeling as if you've 'lost yourself'.... Watching in growing frustration as nothing you do 'to fix things' , to fix 'others' or even yourself, EVER SEEMS TO WORK..
I can help you find freedom from the habits of codependency! As you find more peace inside and more harmony in your relationships, I can help you finally restore more balance to all areas of your life.
We can transform pain into peace, once we have clarity and the tools to do so.
Let me help you come back to clarity and back home to a truer you!
