Narcissistic abuse and emotional abuse can leave you feeling confused, hurt, and searching for answers. You may have believed you found your soulmate, only to end up in a complicated, painful relationship.

If you’ve been researching narcissism and its impact, you’re already taking the first step toward healing—and I’m here to guide you the rest of the way. As a compassionate therapist, I specialize in helping individuals recover from narcissistic abuse, emotional abuse, and toxic relationships. I work with clients to rebuild self-esteem, set healthy boundaries, and create a life filled with clarity, confidence, and empowerment. My practice is inclusive and affirming, and I am passionate about supporting the LGBTQ+ community through unique challenges and experiences. If you’re ready to make a change but aren’t sure where to start, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll work on healing past wounds, breaking free from harmful patterns, and creating a future where you feel in control and valued. Let’s take the first step towards you having a better life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, my priority is to create a safe and welcoming space where you feel heard and understood. I’ll take the time to get to know you, listen to your story, and explore the challenges that have brought you to therapy. We’ll also discuss what’s going well in your life, because recognizing strengths and positive aspects can be just as important as addressing difficulties. Together, we’ll collaborate on a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. My aim is to help you move toward the life you envision—one filled with healing, growth, and empowerment. From the very first session, you can expect a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach focused on your well-being and progress.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I am deeply passionate about helping clients heal from narcissistic abuse, anxiety, and trauma. To support your unique journey, I use an eclectic, client-centered approach that draws on evidence-based therapies tailored to your needs. This includes: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Helping you align your actions with your values and build psychological flexibility. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): A powerful tool for processing and healing from trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns to improve emotional well-being. Mindfulness Practices: Cultivating present-moment awareness to reduce stress and enhance self-compassion. My priority is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your emotions, needs, and goals. By integrating these methods, I aim to empower you with the tools and insights needed to heal, grow, and create meaningful change in your life.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having navigated my own challenges and growth, I deeply understand the courage it takes to seek help and the vulnerability required to heal. This allows me to connect with clients on a genuine, empathetic level and create a safe, nonjudgmental space for their journey. In addition to my personal experiences, I combine evidence-based practices with a compassionate, client-centered approach. I’m skilled at helping clients uncover their strengths, set meaningful goals, and develop practical tools to overcome obstacles. My ability to balance empathy with actionable guidance empowers clients to move forward with confidence and clarity.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced emotionally abusive relationships, including those involving narcissistic abuse. Whether you’re currently in a difficult relationship or have recently left one, I’m here to help you navigate the confusion, despair, and self-doubt that often accompany these relationships. I also work with clients who are dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms, helping them find relief and reclaim their sense of self. My practice is rooted in compassion, understanding, and a commitment to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for healing. I particularly enjoy working with individuals healing from emotionally abusive or narcissistic relationships, people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or the lingering effects of trauma, and members of the LGBTQ+ community seeking affirming, inclusive support. If you’re ready to break free from harmful patterns, rebuild your self-esteem, and create a life filled with clarity and confidence, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey. Together, we’ll work toward growth and empowerment.
