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.

With this stance of curiosity and acceptance, I can help you...

I believe that one primary role for a counselor is to hold on to hope when you believe there is no hope and to help people find strength and courage in times of vulnerability. When people consider working with a therapist often it is because they have begun to feel lost, or alone, or confused. And, when facing hard things like divorce, death of a loved one, addiction, trouble at work, difficult...
