Codependency Recovery

Living with codependency often feels like being trapped in a maze with no clear exit. You might find yourself putting others' needs above your own, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling an overwhelming fear of abandonment. These emotional burdens deeply affect your relationships and mental well-being, but recovery is possible!

Maybe you notice a pattern of one-sided relationships, where your efforts and care aren't reciprocated, leading to resentment and loneliness. You may repeatedly find yourself choosing partners who you later discover struggle with a substance or process addiction. This cycle is incredibly draining and leaves you unsure of who you even are because your self-worth becomes increasingly tied to others.

In our therapy sessions, we'll embark on a journey to rediscover your sense of self beyond your role in others' lives. My approach is to create a safe and nurturing space where you can explore your feelings, understand the roots of your codependency, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. We'll work on building your self-esteem, learning to set and respect boundaries, and finding balance in your relationships.

This journey isn't just about overcoming challenges; it's about embracing a new way of living that is empowering.

I have worked as a primary therapist in both private practice and intensive outpatient settings treating addiction and mental health issues. I've undergone extensive training in Pia Mellody’s Post Induction Therapy (PIT) at The Meadows, a renowned institution for addressing trauma and addiction. I incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful therapy for processing and healing from past traumas, to address past experiences driving painful patterns in the present. My journey of recovery adds a layer of empathy and understanding to our sessions, as I've navigated similar challenges and continue in the lifelong journey of recovery.
