SUPPORT FOR ADULTS WHO STRUGGLE WITH BOUNDARIES, SELF-TRUST, AND FEELING SECURE IN RELATIONSHIPS THROUGHOUT LOS ANGELES AND CALIFORNIA ONLINE
Stop abandoning yourself. Start choosing from clarity.
You have everything you need, except the connection you long for.
Have you found yourself repeatedly choosing partners who feel emotionally unavailable?
Do you feel deeply connected at first and then slowly anxious, uncertain, or unimportant?
You told yourself you wouldn’t do this again.
You said you would speak up sooner.
You promised you wouldn’t shrink yourself to keep someone.
But here you are… overthinking, overgiving, and wondering what you did wrong.
You hyper-focus on the relationship.
You adjust your needs so you won’t seem difficult.
You tell yourself you’re being patient, when you’re actually afraid of being alone.
You want partnership.
You want to feel secure.
You want to stop longing for people who don’t fully choose you.
And yet, something in you keeps fighting for connection, even when it costs you your peace.
You don’t like how much space this takes up in your mind.
It’s impacting your focus.
Your creativity.
Your ability to be present in your friendships.
You may be successful at work.
You may have stability.
On the outside, your life looks fine.
But internally, you feel lonely.
You feel behind.
You feel like everyone else figured something out that you didn’t.
You saw a coworker’s wedding website and it made you cry.
You wonder what’s wrong with you.
You question whether you’re not good enough.
Your overall loneliness makes you minimize red flags.
You tolerate emotional inconsistency.
You silence your instincts so you don’t disappoint anyone.
And it’s exhausting.
Many of my clients come in because they’ve become aware of the pattern, but don’t know how to stop it.
Or they’ve known for years… but it felt easier to ignore it.
Until it wasn’t.
You don’t just want a relationship.
You want to stop abandoning yourself in the process.
Codependency therapy may be for you if:
You feel unimportant or easily replaced in relationships.
Your self-esteem rises and falls based on whether someone is choosing you.
You long deeply for partnership but keep attracting emotionally unavailable people.
You overfunction in relationships and feel resentful later.
You silence your needs to avoid conflict or disappointing others.
You minimize red flags because loneliness feels worse.
You know the pattern but feel stuck inside it.
You don’t have to chase people who don’t fully choose you
Codependency therapy can help you move from abandoning yourself in relationships to building internal security that doesn’t collapse when someone pulls away.
My Approach to Codependency Therapy
Together, we will work through the patterns that keep you abandoning yourself in relationships.
We’ll identify the negative self-talk that fuels your anxiety.
We’ll explore why suppressing your emotions once felt necessary.
We’ll understand how fear of disappointing others has shaped your choices.
We’ll build:
Emotional regulation skills so you don’t spiral when connection feels uncertain
Clear boundary practices that feel grounded. Not aggressive
Internal validation so you’re not relying on someone else to define your worth
The confidence to leave relationships, marriages, or jobs if they’re no longer aligned
Codependency therapy isn’t:
Me shaming you for wanting partnership
Me telling you to “just love yourself” and everything will fix itself
Me blaming you for choosing emotionally unavailable people
Everything changing overnight with no real work
We’ll meet for your initial intake session to understand your patterns, your goals, and what feels most urgent right now.
If you’re someone who wants depth, clarity, and long-term growth, I’m here for that.
Many of my clients are emotionally aware and insightful. They don’t need someone to talk down to them. They want someone who understands their struggles and helps them see what they can’t see on their own.
If spirituality, tarot, or astrology are meaningful frameworks for you, we can respectfully integrate those perspectives into our work while staying grounded and clinically sound.
What we process in therapy is confidential.
You get to choose your pace.
You get to decide what you disclose.
You get to build a relationship with yourself that finally feels safe.
My role is to challenge you gently, help you identify what’s underneath the pattern, and provide the tools and clarity you need to stop self-sabotaging and start trusting yourself.
Therapy for Codependency Can Help You:
Identify the patterns that keep you feeling unimportant or easily replaced.
Recognize when you are relying on others to define your value.
Separate your self-worth from whether someone chooses you.
Enforce boundaries instead of hoping someone else will protect you.
Become more discerning in your friendships and romantic relationships.
Accept that you’re growing, even if your family isn’t.
Feel sadness without collapsing into shame or self-pity.
Stop chasing relationships that require you to abandon yourself.
Release the belief that being a “late bloomer” means you’re behind.
Take responsibility for your part in patterns without condemning yourself.
Tolerate discomfort instead of impulsively seeking validation.
Trust that your value exists regardless of who stays or leaves.
Codependency therapy for:
Fear of abandonment
Dating emotionally unavailable partners
Over-functioning in relationships
Low self-worth tied to being chosen
Difficulty setting boundaries without guilt
Repeating unhealthy relationship patterns

Frequently Asked Questions about therapy for Codependency
-
In the first few sessions, we’ll explore your relationship history and identify the patterns that keep repeating… overgiving, overthinking, chasing reassurance, or struggling to enforce boundaries. My goal is to help you understand where these patterns developed and how they’re affecting your current relationships. Sessions are conversational but intentional, and we’ll create a treatment plan that guides our work while still allowing space to process what’s happening in real time.
-
The length of therapy varies depending on your goals and the depth of the patterns we’re working on. Many clients begin by meeting weekly to build momentum and awareness. My goal is not for you to rely on me long-term, but to develop the clarity, tools, and internal security that allow you to trust yourself outside of session.
-
The first step is a free 15-minute consultation where we’ll briefly discuss what’s bringing you in and whether we’re a good fit. If we decide to move forward, I’ll send you intake paperwork and a link for your first virtual session.
