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.
When we grow up in dysfunctional families, often we are "given" a role or roles in the family; we learn behaviors that help us survive the dysfunction in "functional" ways. We identify these as who we are and continue functioning in the same way as adults. The problem with this occurs when the learned behaviors and roles are not helpful in current adult relationships.
We have training and experience in working with people on issues with codependent relationships, struggles with self-esteem, and addiction in relationships.
Codependency is very common. We help clients understand their identity and practical tips to grow in love for each other. Our counselors have found this to be very helpful for those who struggle with codependency.

Codependency can be difficult to understand and is often used to generally. I help clients identify in themselves what codependent
behaviors are and help develop their sense of self through healthy boundaries, healthy self care and good communication.
