NARCISSISTIC EMOTIONAL/Psychological abuse & IPV! Dealing with an abusive, hostile, high-profile professional, threatening the entire ecological system of yr life? Your partner, spouse, boss, co-worker, family member? Putting you down and/or threatening you & in the next breath telling you how much they love you? Are you drained, devalued, debilitated to exhaustion? Trivial demands? Isolation? Are you smothered? Is your hair falling out? Are your adrenals pumping? Are you denied sleep? Devouring your will is what the abuser wants so they can control. You must not have any space or feel emotion in the relationship: especially anger.

Feelings of hopelessness, worthlessness, and helplessness often bring people into psychotherapy. I help children, adolescents, and adults individually or couples with emotional issues.
