Support for people who find themselves chronically over-functioning, caretaking, people-pleasing, shape-shifting, minimizing their own needs, anticipating the needs of others, or feeling responsible for the emotions, wellbeing, comfort, or stability of those around them. These patterns often develop as intelligent adaptations within family systems, trauma, cultural expectations, caregiving roles, marginalization, neurodivergence, or environments where safety, belonging, acceptance, or survival depended upon attunement to others.
This work explores the protective and prescribed roles these patterns may have played throughout your life and the ways they may have shaped identity, relationships, self-worth, boundaries, decision-making, and connection to your own needs, desires, emotions, and body. Particular attention is given to the influence of family dynamics, culture, gender socialization, attachment experiences, systemic oppression, internalized beliefs, and the messages you may have received about responsibility, worthiness, sacrifice, and care.
These patterns often live not only in thoughts and beliefs, but within the nervous system itself. They may show up as hypervigilance, chronic self-monitoring, difficulty asking for help, guilt when resting, discomfort receiving care, difficulty identifying needs, over-explaining, conflict avoidance, perfectionism, or a persistent sense that your value comes from what you do for others rather than who you are.
Through a trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and nervous-system-centered lens, space is created for greater self-trust, authenticity, reciprocity, discernment, and connection to your own inner experience. The goal is not to stop caring for others, but to cultivate a deeper relationship with yourself and with relationships where care can flow in multiple directions and where your needs, humanity, and wellbeing are nurtured by the same compassion and attention you so readily offer to everyone else.

Charis Khoury
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
For those that were trained to self-abandon, returning "home" and learning to derive self worth from more reliable (internal) sources is one of the most rewarding achievements.

Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
I consider codependence is very simple terms as the behavior of taking care of someone at one's own expense. Many of us learn are value is in how muuch we will give to others which tends to mean abandoning ourselves. If you find yourself over-giving, caretaking, or losing yourself in relationships, we’ll gently uncover the roots of those patterns and build stronger boundaries, self-trust, and more balanced intimacy. The cure for codependency can be more self awareness and the ability to identify one's emotions and needs which I love to support folks on.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Growing up in a less than nurturing environment can lead to all sorts of codependent traits, resulting in struggles with: self-esteem, self-care, boundaries, controlling others, taking care of your adult needs, perfectionism, and emotional flooding, to name a few. I am well versed in the 12-step program of codependents anonymous and the issues that are helped through attending meetings. I recommend the program, but it is not required to understand or heal the above issues.

Roopa Cantu, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Many of us developed the tool of codependency to cope with relationships in difficult environments. We are now in safer environments and don't need to resort to old behaviors. My goal is to help empower codependent individuals to cultivate healthy behaviors and ultimately healthier relationships.

California Center for Change
Psychologist, PhD
When someone you love is struggling with addiction, it is easy to lose yourself in the effort to help them. You may find yourself managing their crises, making excuses for their behavior, or putting your own needs so far aside that you can no longer remember what they were. Codependency is not a character flaw. It is a learned pattern and it can change. We work with partners, parents, and family members to help them set healthier boundaries, rebuild their own sense of self, and find more effective ways to support their loved one without sacrificing their own wellbeing in the process.
