Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LMHC, LPC, CASAC-Master
Sometimes we do too much for other people, and not enough for ourselves, especially if it's not appreciated or it's how we are able to be supported which can lead to dysfunctional relationship patterns. I teach self-care techniques to clients so that they are able to focus more on themselves so they can effectively take care of others appropriately.
I often work with clients who have, or have had, challenges with co-dependency with both substances and relationships with others. Together, we will explore the roots of co-dependency challenges and engage in EMDR and/or IFS as indicated to best support these issues.
Development of healthy boundaries in relationships; strategies for increasing individual self-esteem and autonomy; coping mechanisms for separation and individuation.
If you struggle with taking on the needs of others which requires you to sacrifice your own sense of self, I can help you regain the path towards reclaiming yourself and your needs.
