Does this sound familiar?

  • You smile and say "Sure, no problem!" while inside you're screaming "NOOOOO!"
  • You lie awake at night frustrated that your relationship hasn't improved despite all of your efforts.
  • You feel invisible because you can't ask for what you need and feel selfish for asking.
  • You're super capable at work but can't seem to keep a healthy relationship going.

What is codependency?

Codependency is a relationship pattern of needing constant connection in order to feel good about yourself. When it comes to healthy relationships, knowing how to love without sacrificing yourself is the key.

By not taking care of yourself, you become overly dependent on others and lose yourself.

In the healing procession will learn how to love others without losing yourself.

What is Coaching?

Coaching is a forward-focused, action-oriented process that helps you break free from old patterns and create new habits that truly support you.

Unlike therapy, coaching isn’t about diagnosing or processing trauma in depth. Instead, we focus on where you are now and where you want to be.

  • Therapy often looks at the past to heal emotional wounds.
  • Coaching focuses on the present and future—giving you tools, strategies, and accountability to create real change in your relationships and your life.

In our work we will:

  • Identify your specific codependent patterns
  • Explore what drives them (and how to break free)
  • Create boundaries that actually stick
  • Practice self-care and improve self-esteem and self-trust—at your own pace
  • Build a roadmap for healthier, happier relationships
  • Learn simple skills to manage your emotions

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between therapy and coaching?

Coaching focuses on specific goals that support personal development, self-awareness, and relationship skills. Coaching does not specifically diagnose, treat, or address mental health conditions. Coaches do not analyze the past or facilitate trauma work.

A therapist works with and counsels a client dealing with emotional challenges, mental illness, trauma, grief and loss, and relationship issues. A therapist often draws on the client’s past history in order to facilitate a deeper type of healing.

Can I work with you as my coach if you're my therapist?

Unfortunately, no. The ethically guidelines of my psychotherapy license prohibits me from seeing any current or past clients for coaching.

What if I'm not good with technology?

Welcome to the club! Thankfully, all you need is Zoom but if you prefer to have our sessions by phone, that's totally fine too. It's important that you are comfortable with how we conduct our sessions.

What does it cost?
You have two options; a 30 minute session for $110 or a 45 minute session for $185.

Do you offer a free consult?
No, most of my clients find me through my YouTube Channel. That's the best way to get a sense of who I am and if my approach speaks to you. Feel free to book a 30 minute session with no pressure. Your comfort is most important.
