Codependency

Codependency is a popular psychology term for those who struggle with boundaries and emotional intensity in their personal relationships. Often, our current relationship patterns have their roots in unacknowledged early attachment relationship deficits or abuses by primary caregivers. Therapy can be a place to uncover the psychological injury that leads to relationship compulsivity and/or avoidance. I have also been one of the few clinicians  trained in the  Adult Attachment Repair Model, a unique approach to healing early relationship ruptures and unmet needs from primary childhood caregivers.  Lastly, many have found a 12-step model as an aspect of this treatment very beneficial and I have completed a year-long certification at The Institute of Transpersonal Psychology to better understand the relationship between a Higher Power and the psychotherapy for those with a variety of spiritual orientations. I am happy to collaborate with your priest, minister, or spiritual director where religious issues intersect with your care.

When you come for your first session, we will meet for a comprehensive assessment. Once I have a fuller picture of your symptoms, together we can collaborate to design a course of treatment that best suits your needs.
