Codependency is often closely connected to anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, and ongoing relationship stress. Many adults struggling with codependency feel emotionally depleted, chronically overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns where their needs are overlooked—despite putting significant effort into their relationships.
You may find yourself prioritizing others at the expense of your own well-being, feeling responsible for others’ emotions, or struggling to set healthy boundaries. Over time, these patterns can lead to resentment, burnout, and a diminished sense of self.
Codependency therapy provides a space to better understand these patterns and begin creating healthier, more balanced ways of relating—to others and to yourself.
As a licensed clinical psychologist in Austin, I specialize in codependency therapy for adults, offering both in-person sessions in Austin and secure online therapy throughout Texas.

My Approach to Codependency Treatment
I offer a supportive and thoughtful space to explore both relationship patterns and underlying beliefs that may be contributing to codependency. Our work will focus on understanding how past experiences have shaped your current ways of relating, while also building practical tools for change.
By increasing awareness and developing new ways of communicating, you can begin to relate to others with greater clarity, confidence, and balance—without losing yourself in the process. You can also expect to begin prioritizing yourself differently.
My approach is insight-oriented and grounded in evidence-based practices, supporting both immediate relief and long-term growth.
