Codependency often involves a reliance on others for validation, self-worth, identity, and even a sense of our own internal safety. It can also look like hiding our true selves, avoiding confrontation, or swallowing our feelings in order to be accepted by others. I understand the complexities of codependency and how challenging it can be to relate to others in this way. I strive to help clients recognize and transform these patterns, fostering healthier and more fulfilling connections with both themselves and others.
