Are you in a toxic relationship? Do you often feel confused, depleted, desperate to find solutions to make things better and get back to the good that existed in the beginning - but nothing you do seems to make a difference? Are your partner's words and actions often misaligned? Is infidelity present or suspected? If so, you may be in a relationship with a narcissist. The sooner you can identify this and get educated on what this entails, the sooner you can regain your strength and sanity. Enduring Narcissistic Abuse can lead to the debilitating and little known condition called Narcissistic Victim Syndrome (NVS).

Seeking therapy is courageous and vulnerable and choosing a therapist can be challenging.

From this relationship, we will be able to identify factors preventing change and help you work toward living a meaningful life consistent with your values and goals.
