Codependency can mean enabling behaviors in such a way that one loses themselves and their identity. Our focus here would be to finding the origin of these behaviors and working on bringing the client back to having their own individual identity with appropriate boundaries and healthy self-image.
I enjoy working with individuals impacted by addiction and/ or narcissistic abuse. Through evidence based approaches, we can work together to change your patterns of thinking, feeling and relating to reorient towards your own wellbeing and growth as an individual.
I offer insights, encouragement, and feedback to both individuals and couples who are working to address issues with codependency. In our meaningful work, you will grow in your ability to set more reasonable boundaries, foster a sense of both independence and healthy interdependence with others, and better articulate your expectations, hopes, and emotions in your close relationships.
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 .
