Seeking therapy takes courage and personal growth begins when one is willing to take the first step. Do you avoid conflict with others? Do you experience manipulation and gaslighting in your relationships and wonder what is going on? It's not you. I assist clients who are healing from narcissistic abuse within intimate relationships and/or with family of origin. I partner with clients experiencing stress in relationships due to codependency, boundary issues, narcissistic abuse and manipulation. I also work with clients in recovery from substance abuse and clients struggling to manage anger, anxiety, depression, work stress and life transitions. I meet clients where they are on their journeys and partner with them to solve their problems and move forward.
In our first session we will be getting to know each other. You can expect questions about your current reasons for therapy, background history and goals for therapy.
I use a trauma informed approach along with CBT, DBT and other therapeutic approaches to empower individuals to realize their greatest potential to overcome their difficulties.
I have a particular interest in helping clients understand and overcome betrayal trauma, emotional abuse and patterns of manipulation. I provide psychoeducation and therapy regarding effective communication skills, boundary setting and conflict resolution.
