Codependency & People-Pleasing

You Don’t Have to Earn Your Worth in Relationships

If you’re always the reliable one, the helper, the emotionally attuned partner — but inside you feel anxious, overextended, or resentful — you may be living in a codependent pattern.
I specialize in helping high-functioning adults untangle people-pleasing, overgiving, and the deep fear of disappointing others so you can experience relationships that feel mutual, calm, and authentic.

You might relate if:

• You prioritize others’ needs over your own

• You feel responsible for other people’s emotions

• Boundaries feel uncomfortable or “mean”

• You overthink how you’re perceived

• You stay too long in one-sided relationships

How we work with this:

Using an Internal Family Systems (IFS) and trauma-informed approach, we explore the parts of you that learned to earn love through caregiving and self-abandonment. As these parts begin to trust you, new patterns of self-respect, clarity, and secure connection emerge.

The goal of this work

To develop a relationship with yourself that feels as important and worthy of care as your relationships with others.

So that:

• your needs feel valid and accessible

• boundaries feel like an act of self-respect rather than guilt

• you can give from choice instead of fear or obligation

• connection feels mutual, steady, and nourishing

Instead of constantly monitoring others, you are able to remain rooted in yourself.
