I help people who are struggling in a relationship with someone they once felt close to, such as an ex-partner, parent or adult child. Research shows that our happiness in life depends most on having strong connections with the people around us. Unfortunately, things don't always go smoothly. If you're in this situation, you're likely feeling angry, hurt, confused, and frustrated, like you're constantly walking on eggshells. No matter how hard you try, the other person just can't see your point of view, and makes every part of life seem harder. I can help you explore what's really going on, and get you on a path to feeling better.

I recognize that more often than not, sometimes reaching out is the hardest part. If you have found yourself here, pat yourself on the back! You have conquered the first step! As a mental health professional, I truly believe therapy should never be viewed as a "one size fits all" approach. Along with this ideology, I take great care in personalizing all treatment plans to be just as unique as the individual sitting in front of me. My goal as a therapist is to ensure I am providing each individual/family a safe, comfortable setting and providing the best possible therapeutic interventions to achieve an overall sense of well-being.

Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists
What type of therapy is best for narcissistic personality disorder?
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is best treated with talk therapy, which could involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, schema therapy, gestalt therapy, or similar approaches. A therapist will help a patient uncover the feelings that may drive their behavior and discover how to engage with themselves and those around them with greater empathy and understanding, fewer demands, and less defensiveness, with the goal of developing a more authentic sense of self that enables healthier relationships.
How do therapists treat NPD?
By developing a strong therapeutic relationship, and continually focusing patients on relationships, community, and connection, a therapist, through talk therapy, may be able to help someone with NPD change. In sessions, a therapist will help an individual achieve relief from their current stressors, including the treatment of co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression. A therapist may also help an individual to recognize unhealthy coping mechanisms, learn new ways of interacting with others, and eventually become able to feel and display empathy.
Can a narcissist be cured with therapy?
Therapy can be effective. After a serious setback or great loss, someone with NPD may be forced to recognize that they are not immune to life’s challenges. That can spur feelings of melancholy and depression that lead them to seek professional help. Once an individual decides to seek help, they have already taken a step that the majority of those with NPD never will. Still, people with NPD often quit therapy as they naturally resist feeling vulnerable, being challenged, or admitting to flaws.
How can you get narcissistic personality disorder treatment for someone?
It is notoriously difficult to convince someone with NPD to seek help. With their feelings of superiority, they may be unlikely to recognize or acknowledge that they have a problem, or that their problem is narcissism. Sometimes, they are aware that they are arrogant and that others resent them but they don’t see it as a problem because they are convinced of their superiority. People with NPD have trouble maintaining relationships, but family members and others who do feel close to them, and whose presence they value, may be able to encourage them to seek therapy.
