Narcissists weaponize by their reactivity. If you do something they don't like they make you feel guilty. Guilt is associated with having done something wrong and the guilt is the glue that holds these relationships together. I work with clients who suffer from narcissistic abuse, addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Ive had the pleasure of helping my clients gain awareness and heal from trauma. In addition I also provide supervision for licensure.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together we can discuss s you want to address and gather some history and background to figure out why these issues may be occurring.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Having worked with women and trauma for the past 20 years I have developed a deep understanding of issues that you are facing and how to go about helping you create healthy change and begin to live a more free and full life.

My treatment methods

Attachment-based

I've been helping clients overcome their challenges using Attachment based therapy, DBT and CBT for over 15 years. Everyone views the world through their own unique lense and sometimes it's helpful to look at things from other perspectives. I help people get break painful relationship patterns and heal from narcissitic abuse . I also do assessments for ESAs and Substance Abuse Evaluations.

Eclectic

I like to adapt my approach to meet the needs of my client individually. Sometimes it is helpful to use multiple approaches to tackle more complex issues, especially if they overlap into different areas of your life.

Trauma Informed Care

My last position was operating a trauma informed program. There I was able to provide a safe space for victims of trauma to learn how to heal and help reset their nervous system to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, nightmares, depression, substance misuse, depression and other symptoms of trauma.
