Samantha Kingma
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Have you noticed that you haven’t been feeling quite like yourself? Like something feels off, but you’re not exactly sure why? No matter how hard you work, you always feel behind and can't seem to ever catch up on your to-do list. Maybe you keep thinking that you "should" be doing better and you "shouldn't" be struggling this way. You want to be present, calm, and confident, but you aren’t sure how to get there. It is possible for you to feel like yourself again and I'd love to talk to you about how you can get there.
I help teens, adults, and couples who are feeling stuck and disconnected to find freedom and relief. I'll collaborate with you to notice the themes and patterns occurring in your life that might be causing problems and then work alongside you to find new options and solutions to address those patterns.
Whether you are experiencing anxiety, dealing with past trauma, relationship difficulties, or just think it might be helpful to talk to someone about how you are feeling, I’d love to talk with you about how I can help. Visit my website to schedule a free phone consultation, and we can chat about whether I might be the right therapist for you.

Codependency is often referred to as “relationship addiction.” It’s an emotional and behavioral condition that interferes with an individual’s ability to develop a healthy, mutually satisfying relationship. It can be frustrating and destructive, but there are things that you can do to learn how to stop being codependent. To start, you should:
Look for signs of a healthy relationship
Maintain healthy boundaries
Care for yourself
Get help from a mental health professional
The term codependency was first used to describe the partner of someone with an addiction—whose unhealthy choices enable or encourage the addiction to continue. But over the years, it’s been expanded to include individuals who maintain one-sided, emotionally destructive, or abusive relationships, and those relationships don’t necessarily have to be romantic.
Therapy can help individuals with overcoming codependency. Some individuals are able to overcome codependency on their own. Learning about what it means to be codependent and the harm it causes can be enough for some individuals to change their behavior.

Treatment for codependency includes psycho education, examining and addressing the circumstances from which the codependency arose, understanding one’s attachment style, and developing more functional attitudes, boundaries, and relational interactions.

My approach teaches you to depend on yourself and to be self-directed. You can learn to help yourself if you improve your discomfort tolerance for doing things for yourself, taking calculated risks, and accept yourself even when you fail.
