Need help breaking free from unhealthy patterns of codependency? Let's work together to help you build confident, stronger, healthier relationships - and creating a life of balance, joy, and self-care.
How do you recover from codependency?
You validate your feelings and say nice things to yourself. You don’t rely on other people to make you feel valid and worthy.
You notice what you do “right” rather than only the things you do “wrong” or imperfectly.
You set realistic expectations for yourself. ...

I provide couples/family/relational therapy for adolescents and adults both in the context of their relationships as well as through relationship-focused therapy for individuals who want to improve their interpersonal lives. Our relationships impact our thoughts, our feelings, and our behaviors. Relationships can be supportive, or they can weigh us down. How our relationships impact us can be obvious to us and everyone around us, or they can be insidious and live in the pit of our stomachs-- creeping up on us as feelings we can’t put the right words to. ...and anywhere in between… It can be difficult to understand and connect how these feelings slowly change what we do and who we are. ‘Relational’ therapy with more than one client aims to help improve interactions with each other, achieve relational goals, and cultivate value and meaning together.
Codependany is often a learned behavior. I help clients recognize the unhealthy patterns (such as attachment style, family dynamic issues etc) that have resulted in codependency, and learn healthy interpersonal skills to increase independence and promote healthy relationship boundaries.
I can guide and support individuals dealing with codependency by facilitating creative processes that encourage self-exploration, fostering self-awareness, and empowering them to establish healthy boundaries and cultivate self-care practices.
I will help you discover how you became Co-Dependent as a child, and provide you with tools and understanding to change that dynamic with your loved ones and friends.
Therapy can help bring awareness to patterns of codependency and people-pleasing. Through our work together, you will gain insight into these patterns and begin to improve relationships with yourself and others.
