Relationship Issues:
Codependency
People who are dealing with codependency issues are looking for someone else to "fill them up" inside. Many of us look to other people because we do not know how to nurture ourselves and meet our own needs. Some people have a difficult time setting boundaries and saying "no". Others are addicted to being in relationships with unhealthy people but are unable to leave. Some people place everyone's needs before theirs, ultimately resulting in resentment and anger often held inside. Some people overly focus on other's flaws while avoiding their own issues.
I teach people how to break the pattern of codependency. This inevitably leads to creating a relationship with yourself in which you begin to value YOU. This includes learning to value your wants, needs, desires and dreams. Learning to value ourselves naturally leads to improved relationships with others.
Couples work
When working with couples, I view challenges in relationships as a natural part of being close with another person and as an opportunity for growth and learning. Viewing relationship challenges from this perspective allows couples to see "problems" as opportunities rather than as an indication that something is "wrong". A byproduct of working through issues from this perspective is an increased sense of intimacy, trust, compassion and love within the relationship.
I have extensive experience working
with all types of couples
and am highly skilled
in teaching clients the
tools necessary to create
their ideal relationship. You deserve
to have the relationship of your
dreams. |
