I provide comprehensive support to individuals struggling with codependency by helping them understand their codependent relationships, develop healthy coping strategies, and establish boundaries. I address underlying issues contributing to codependency, such as low self-esteem or past traumas, and guide them through the process of building self-awareness and self-esteem. By creating a supportive and non-judgmental space, I empower individuals to break free from codependent patterns and cultivate healthier relationships.
Codependency is when individuals prioritize others' needs over their own, often to their detriment. I'd help clients understand the root causes of their codependency, build self-awareness and assertiveness, and foster healthier relationship dynamics through therapy.
As a therapist, I recognize how codependency can affect one's capacity to identify unhealthy interactions. You'll learn to establish healthy boundaries through tailored strategies and compassionate guidance, reclaim your autonomy, and cultivate deeper self-awareness and fulfillment.
Dealing with codependency isn't simple, as it often involves crossed boundaries and violations within relationships. Together, we can work on strengthening boundaries and equipping you with the tools to foster growth and thriving for both you and your loved ones as you navigate life together.
People might find it hard with codependency because they struggle to set boundaries and put their own needs first. If someone's dealing with this, I'd help them see the patterns causing it and how to change them. I'll guide them to have healthier relationships. In couples therapy, I would work with both partners to improve communication and establish boundaries, fostering mutual support and understanding.
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In helping patients struggling with codependency, I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental environment for them to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through therapy, we work together to identify patterns of codependent behavior and the underlying beliefs that drive them. I offer guidance and tools to help patients develop healthier coping mechanisms, set boundaries, and prioritize their own needs and well-being. Additionally, I provide education about healthy relationships and communication skills, empowering patients to cultivate more fulfilling connections with others while maintaining their sense of self. My goal is to support patients in breaking free from codependency, fostering self-compassion, and building a life based on authenticity, autonomy, and resilience.
You will learn to explore patterns of behavior characterized by excessive reliance on others for validation and self-worth. Our work are to increase self-awareness, identify boundaries, and develop healthier interpersonal relationships. Cognitive-behavioral techniques help challenge distorted beliefs and behaviors, while mindfulness practices promote self-compassion and emotional regulation.
I see the therapeutic process as myself guiding my clients through difficult situations to move forward in life, and feel more energized. My clients say that I supportively nudge them along and that our therapeutic rapport is what helps them better find themselves.
