Codependency is an emotional and behavioral condition, often learned from our families-of-origin. We will work on increasing boundary setting, increasing self-worth, and processing feelings of guilt and shame that arise from making yourself a priority.
Loving someone who’s in trouble can cause terrible pain and leave you feeling exhausted, hopeless, angry and alone. You need and deserve support and understanding. Together we can begin to make time for you, prioritize your feelings and concerns, and learn how to set healthy boundaries so that you can begin to balance self-care with caring for your loved ones.
My background of 20 years spent as therapist and Clinical Director of a southern CA program, and in private practice, treating clients with substance use disorders, has informed my practice to help others address, not only that issue, but the underlying disorders that accompany substance use (codependency, anxiety, depression, transitions). I admire your courage to face your fears, and offer a nonjudgmental, secure holding place to heal. We will work together to support you becoming empowered to courageously face your challenges.
Codependency is a label used to shame people for needing the support of others. Let's unpack it together and figure how to make relationships more mutually supportive, collaborative, and sustainable.
When it comes to relationships, building safety is paramount. My approach with codependency is to help you develop awareness around patterns of people-pleasing, accommodation, caretaking and low self-esteem that are impacting the way you function within those bonds. I also work with you to develop the capacity to set healthy boundaries which will ultimately create greater safety and closeness.
