Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
You’re the go-to person, the fixer, the one who keeps it all together. But when it comes to love, you keep getting pulled into toxic patterns that leave you exhausted, anxious, and questioning yourself.
Maybe you’ve been told you’re codependent—but that label doesn’t quite sit right. You don’t feel weak. You’re strong, successful, and high-functioning. You just can’t seem to stop choosing people who drain you, walking on eggshells, or taking responsibility for someone else’s chaos. Sound familiar?
I specialize in helping high-achieving women break free from destructive relationship patterns rooted in what’s often labeled codependency. Personally? I don’t love the word. But I do understand what’s behind it: trauma responses, attachment wounds, and a lifetime of being praised for putting others first.
You might be asking:
“Is this codependency… or trauma bonding?”
“Why do I feel addicted to someone who’s hurting me?”
“How can I be so successful in life—but so lost in love?”
“How do I stop choosing emotionally unavailable or narcissistic partners?”
“Why can’t I stop trying to fix people who don’t want to change?”
You’re not broken—you’re burned out from loving people who can’t (or won’t) meet you halfway.
With over 25 years of experience as a licensed psychologist, and advanced training in narcissistic abuse, trauma bonding, and emotional burnout, I help women like you untangle what’s really going on—and finally get free. Whether it’s childhood emotional neglect, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or the aftermath of a toxic relationship, we’ll work together to help you stop abandoning yourself for someone else’s comfort.
We’ll work on:
Rebuilding self-worth that isn’t tied to helping or being needed
Learning to set boundaries that stick (without guilt)
Identifying trauma bonds, love addiction, and emotional dependency
Understanding how attachment wounds impact your adult relationships
Stopping the cycle of rescuing or over-functioning
Breaking free from gaslighting and emotional manipulation
Reclaiming your identity, intuition, and personal power

Let’s break the pattern—and build a life where you feel loved, supported, and at peace in your own skin.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Codependency is a circular pattern that emerge in relationships when one person needs another person to need them in order to keep the relationship going. This is an unhealthy pattern and often leads to unhappiness and toxic patterns in relationships. I approach these relationships from a place of empathy and concern for all parties involved. It is my goal to illuminate these patterns and teach individuals to set healthy boundaries that will allow them to break free of codependent relationships and live healthier and happier lives with friends and family.
