Helping You Heal Relationships, Codependency, Anger and Self-esteem 

How I can help you...

If you are struggling in relationships and are ready to do something about it, you’re in the right place.

Maybe you’ve sacrificed too much of yourself, hoping that something will eventually change...but nothing does. You find yourself choosing their needs over yours. That's how I used to do relationships.

After doing my own work, I was really excited to teach what I learned. Like many, I didn’t grow up learning how to have healthy relationships.

You’re not alone!

I love teaching the skills to help you make your relationships work. Codependent patterns of people pleasing and not setting boundaries make it tough to get your needs met.

By giving too much and not admitting how you really feel, you start to feel invisible. It took years to see that didn't work. That was the start of my growth.

Finding the solution

Working with me, you'll learn how to create healthier relationships and feel better about yourself. Together we can focus on:

  • Learning to tell your truth, (or figure out what it is)

  • Healing codependent patterns like people-pleasing and not setting boundaries.

  • Managing anger without hurting others

  • Maintaining your recovery and avoid relapse

  • Communicating in a healthy way so you can get your needs met

  • Feeling more confident in who you are without having to change

A little about me... 

Like some of you, I had trouble getting my needs met in relationships. In my early twenties I started working on myself. Getting the right support made being a therapist so much richer for me! I understand the pain and what it takes to heal. That's why I love my work because I get it. I get the struggle but I also know what's it like to be on the other side of it.

Feeling accepted and supported changed my life and that's what I want for you.

In 1997, I got my Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology at the College of Notre Dame, Belmont. After doing counseling for about five years, I took time off to raise my son. 

My Experience

I've helped people heal their relationships for many years. I've taught anger management classes and fell in love with that work! I also love helping people heal their relationships, codependency, anger, 12 step recovery, mild depression, grief, divorce and co-parenting.

Growth is a challenging, rewarding process when you start to see changes. I've seen people get excited about life again as they practice new skills and let go of beliefs that no longer serve them. We can only change ourselves and accept the things we cannot control because that is where you'll find peace.

I am able to accept a few new clients but I no longer offer evening sessions. If you’re interested in my online classes or programs please visit my Products page or email me at mft@counselingrecovery.com.
