Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A., LPC, ATR-BC
Codependency is often developed from past childhood experiences. I work with clients to identify unhealthy relationship patterns and challenge negative thoughts and fears that sabotage healthy decisions and quality of life.
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.
Despite what people might say, we all care about what other's think about us. An issue arises when we lack internal sources of self-worth and search outside of ourselves to find worth. We rely on others to make us feel "good" or find ourselves trapped in a relationship with someone else that relies on us to make them feel good. Either way the result is an emotionally draining, unfulfilling relationship filled with resentments. I'd love to help you work through this.
I specialize in the treatment of codependency and utilize elements of self-compassion, communications skills and emotion focused therapy (EFT) to help clients improve boundary setting .
