My Specialty

I specialize in individual counseling for narcissistic abuse recovery. Like any personality disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) has typical abusive traits which include emotional abuse, manipulation, gaslighting, criticism, love-bombing as part of the abuse cycle, “crazy-making,” turning any disagreement into feeling sorry for them, never accepting responsibility for the things they have done to hurt you or anyone else, they feed a chaotic environment and can turn everyone against their victim.

Whether you have been abused by a narcissistic person or you think you may have traits of narcissism you want to change, I am here to help.

Abuse from a narcissistic person can make you feel like you have lost yourself, have been emptied and left confused. Many times, you can even blame yourself. I can help walk through the confusion and break the cycle.

About Me, as a therapist

I have a passion for helping people work through past trauma, heal inner wounds, and become the person they want to be. Part of the goal in therapy is to discover the capacity to truly love your future self.

My background is unique and I have personally overcome many difficult struggles. I believe my pain was for a purpose — so that I may have the empathy necessary to help others overcome and heal. I knew once I began the process of becoming a therapist, this is what I was meant to do with my life.

Building resilience, strength, and finding hope is a challenge. Let me walk with you, taking some of the weight off your shoulders. Therapy is a beautiful process where we create a future you can look forward to.

My primary focus is for individuals who are recovering from narcissistic abuse. I help to bring in a compassionate lens removing the guilt and shame that comes from that kind of relationship, promoting a safe space to reflect on what happened. Narcissistic abuse is a unique kind of abuse. Most people who have not experienced it do not understand it. I will build a warm, emotionally attuned environment with you so there is room to just be yourself and begin the healing journey.

I work with couples where neither partner is narcissistic. I find therapy within a couple where one person has NPD is ineffective. Most couples have one or more partners with a past trauma experience that is unresolved. I help to resolve that trauma so it stops showing up in the present.

I thoroughly enjoy helping people in relationships to find mutual connection again once it has been disrupted due to resentments, broken communication, and conflict. I work to help uncover the root cause of the issues and help each individual process their past so it doesn’t present and project onto their partner.

I utilize techniques from many different modalities and cater that to the individual needs. Every person and situation is different, so should the modalities we use to treat them. Techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as well as Trauma-informed CBT, Gestalt empty-chair and here and now, Psychodynamic theories (Object Relations and Jungian), Internal Family Systems (IFS) Parts Work, Attachment Theory, Gottman (for couples), and Existentialism.

If this speaks to you, please schedule a consultation.

When people say they just want to be happy, it is not really true. They want to be happy even when things are hard, or better yet, they just want good things to happen. When bad things happen, they become thrown off and cannot see a way through it. T

The cycle of abuse will not end unless you leave. The love-bombing can feel so wonderful and manipulate you into believing they are different, only to find they are going to abuse you again and again. This cycle is exhausting and sadistic. To leave a
