We can feel the most alone when we are hurting. We might struggle to even feel heard or understood. For therapy to be successful one has to feel heard, understood, and accepted with non-judgmental empathy. This is the foundation of my approach. Together we will explore your challenges, identify the obstacles you face, and find ways to navigate around them. I use an action driven approach to help clients gain insight and inspiration to discover solutions for their troubles.

Living in the US today can be scary for a number of different reasons, and it can make one feel alone and hopeless. No one gets through life without hurt, but having someone who truly sees you and can acknowledge that you matter can go a long way in easing some of that hurt. There are elements in life that are embarrassing or even shameful to talk about, or even admit, and it can be such a weight off to be able to talk about that stuff in a compassion driven, non judgmental atmosphere.

I specialize in supporting working professionals, especially teachers, nurses and students with anxiety or depression who are struggling in their career, education or relationships. Many feel stuck, burnt out, angry, and overwhelmed. Chronic stress and compassion fatigue make it hard for them to empathize with patients, students and administrators. Some may prefer to be alone, even though it leads to ruminating over traumatic work experiences and substance use. My clients have demanding jobs, are highly trained and accustomed to solving problems. However, no one is immune to the long-term effects of stress and trauma.

Codependency Therapists

What therapy types help with codependency problems?

Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.

What happens in therapy for codependency?

Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.

How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?

Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.

What is the goal of therapy for codependency?

One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
