Here are my specialties: Couples/relationship issues, improving communication skills, narcissistic abuse recovery, PTSD, Trauma, anger management, domestic violence, survivors of sex trafficking, anxiety, and depression.
As a Therapist, I am knowledgeable, trustworthy, and kind. I view each person I meet as a unique individual with their own goals, needs, and desires. One thing that can be helpful is having a nonjudgmental person to talk to who actually understands and cares. I want to be that person for you, whom you can open up to and trust, who will show you compassion and empathy in your darkest hours and hardest struggles. I believe that you are the master of your own life but I am here to help you find the path to happiness and healing.

I specialize in childhood trauma, inner-child work, spirituality, codependency, CBT, DBT, shadow work, narcissistic abuse, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, self-esteem, setting boundaries, and building effective communication skills.
For most of us, living a life without pain and suffering is the ultimate goal. Oftentimes, we try to change or control everything in our external environment to find peace and happiness within ourselves. We may change jobs, move to a new city, or seek out new relationships – only to find that our pain and suffering still exist. As a result, we feel hopeless or powerless over our lives and may resort to destructive behavioral patterns to cope with our emotions. Over time, we may realize that – no matter where we go, or what we do – we are always left facing ourselves.

I call it "The Narcissistic Abuse Theory".
If you identify as a narcissist then you’re in the right place. I help narcissists liberate themselves from enmeshment. Enmeshment is what happens when one either violates someone else's boundaries or fails to enforce their own boundaries. Enmeshment is the way that one attempts to get one's attachment needs met in one's life. Attachment needs represent what one gets in one's relationships. This includes all relationships such as romantic partnerships, work, family, or in other groups.

Is life what you thought it would be like, how it was “supposed to” be? Are you doing what you know you are supposed to, what you have been told is expected of you, yet your world is not improving? You still have choices, and you can make change happen. Often, our behaviors that interfere with achieving the life you deserve have protected your well-being or your relationship for many years. Whether it is trauma saturation, professional boundaries, intimacy avoidance, or unwanted addictive behaviors, you no longer have to react alone but can now respond with someone beside you.

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.
