I also have experience with narcissistic abuse, high conflict divorce and complex relational trauma.
Are you in a relationship that is causing you to feel unlike who you know yourself to be? Or, maybe you are going through a life changing event that is causing an adverse reaction. Unhealthy relationships or life events can leave us exhausted, confused, depressed and anxious. Sometimes we need help healing and finding out what predisposed us to this type of relationship or event. I listen without judgement and will work with you to build healthy boundaries to help you move forward in a positive direction.

Have you experienced Narcissistic Abuse yourself? As a survivor of Narcissistic Abuse myself, I get the horror you are living through right now. One day the guy is the “man of your dreams”, the next, he’s morphed into this lying, cheating, manipulative, demeaning man that you no longer even recognize. You are feeling so down, depressed and hopeless that you struggle to even get out of bed in the morning. When you do get out of bed, you wonder what is even the point of living a life like this. You dread another day of walking on eggshells, rage, being told you're ugly, a terrible mom, and called all sorts of disrespectful names.

I have specialized training in the treatment of personality disorders (BPD & NPD).
Therapy is a collaborative and healing process where we come to develop a common understanding of how your personal history, unique personality, and current struggles influence your life. In any therapeutic relationship, you should feel safe and not judged while exploring your inner thoughts, feelings, and motivations. In this process, I hope to create a transformative space for greater self-understanding, improved self-esteem, and more satisfying relationships. I work with adults and couples (traditional and nontraditional relationship styles).

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.
