Have you spent so much of your life caring for others that you've lost touch with yourself?
Do you find yourself managing other people's emotions, avoiding conflict, or saying yes when every part of you wants to say no?
Perhaps you've become so practiced at caring for others that your own needs have quietly faded into the background. Over time, it can become difficult to know where someone else ends and where you begin. Therapy offers a space to reconnect with yourself - not by becoming less caring, but by learning that your needs deserve care too.
You don't have to lose yourself to love others well.
If you find yourself prioritizing others’ needs at the expense of your own, struggling with boundaries, or feeling responsible for others’ emotions, you’re not alone. Codependency often develops as an adaptive response, one that helped you survive in your childhood, but might not be allowing you to thrive in your adult relationships. Together, we can gently untangle these patterns, helping you reconnect with your own needs, voice, and sense of self. We can incorporate EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic psychotherapy to support healing at both the emotional and nervous system level.
What We Can Work On
-
setting and maintaining healthy boundaries
-
reconnecting with your own needs and values
-
reducing people-pleasing and overfunctioning
-
building self-trust and emotional independence
-
creating more balanced, fulfilling relationships
As you reconnect with yourself, you'll discover that caring for your own needs doesn't take away from your relationships - it allows them to become more honest, balanced and fulfilling.
I offer in-person therapy in Boulder and telehealth across Colorado, integrating EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic psychotherapy to support healing at both the emotional and nervous system level.
