Codependency describes relationships where one person sacrifices their needs for the other, often leading to feelings of resentment, anxiety, and emptiness. Codependent relationships can occur between a parent and child, partners, or friends. These relationships may quickly spiral into toxicity and can leave one or both people hurt.
Available Treatment Options
Therapists for codependency involve examining a person’s thinking patterns to understand why they think and behave the way they do. Once this recognition sets in, people can then work toward changing their behavior. Other therapeutic techniques include practicing setting boundaries in the relationships, practicing self-care, and finding coping mechanisms that work when they feel intense emotions related to the relationship.

What if our journey in life isn't meant to be a journey of proving we are enough. What if our journey is one of knowing that we always were. What if who we are, exactly how we are has always been enough; enough to be loved, to be heard, to be seen, enough to be you. Traumatic experiences have a way of making us feeling that we are irreparably broken. We carry them with us in our mind, body, and...
People often come to therapy feeling a need to fix or change some troubling aspect of themselves.

Our patterns of thinking and behaving often start at a young age. We may have been neglected, emotionally deprived, abused, overprotected, criticized, and rejected. These experiences may continue to reverberate themselves throughout our life and reveal themselves in how we think and relate to others. These experiences can also be the source of depression, anxiety and anger. In my practice, we w...
