Are you feeling emotionally suffocated, confused and trapped into the invisible chain of a narcissistic relationship? You are not alone! My ultimate goal is to empower you to take control of your life, set boundaries, and embrace your true self.

I have over ten years of international experience working with culturally/clinically diverse populations. Multilingual with fluency in English, Spanish, and Italian. I specialize in narcissistic abuse, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, trauma, anxiety, depression, and communication difficulties.
I utilize an integrative therapy approach with a collaborative perspective. My ultimate goal is to empower survivors of narcissistic abuse to take control of their lives, set boundaries, embrace their true selves and create a safe place where they can feel seen, heard and valued.
