While winding down a highly successful career working with individuals and their families as a Certified Public Accountant, I chose to turn my attention from the financial and tax issues of my clients to their psychological, emotional, and relationship issues to which I was so often exposed as their CPA. I am experienced in dealing with a wide range of interpersonal issues, including anxiety, depression, panic, burnout, grief, self-esteem, family relations, trust, and divorce. Many of these I have experienced in my own life. In my practice, I follow the Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) philosophy of counseling.

Narcissistic emotional abuse is one of the worst types of abuse requiring knowledge of the inner workings of what is actually all happening to you.
Narcissistic Emotional Abuse - Nothing makes sense anymore. Two plus two no longer equals four. I search, find nothing. I feel like I'm going 'crazy.' "You're imagining things! I might as well be doing it as you're always blaming me for something." BUT YET, I know they are doing the very thing they say they're not doing and I keep second guessing myself. I want a simple life, yet nothing is simple anymore. Everything is just plain CRAZINESS. If you can relate to any of these situations, you most likely are involved with a narcissist, are being emotionally abused and need help. Are you feeling hopeless, worthless, lost and confused?

I specialize in PTSD, dissociative disorders (testing and treatment), FND conversion/functional neurological disorders, women's issues, domestic violence, traumatic break-ups, cult defection, narcissistic abuse, betrayal trauma, and codependency.
Trauma is often weaved in and through the fabric of our lives. Many think of trauma as one large scale traumatic event. However, complex trauma is not a single event. Trauma is betrayal, failed attachment to our parents, experiencing abuse/neglect, multiple losses, shattered relationships, or the inability to protect ourselves emotionally with healthy boundaries. The most disturbing part of a trauma is not only the event itself, but how we perceived the event, and the internalized negative core beliefs about ourselves that developed. Ketamine assisted therapy is now offered. I also offer trauma therapy for toddlers.

When someone we care for is struggling with addiction (drugs/alcohol, sex, food, etc.), it can become a very unclear path. Pain, guilt, confusion, loss of trust, and communication, all create drastic changes in relationships which can leave us feeling hopeless, fearful, and defeated. Asking for guidance is a sign of strength, not weakness or failure, which ideally brings understanding to all involved. Often multiple addictions co-exist and each requires its own unique understanding and process of recovery.

I believe in meeting clients where they are at emotionally and helping them and their parents reach their goals. Through a positive relationship with my client I try to help them gain insight into their desire to belong and have significance. I continually work to create a supportive environment for children in order for the child to gain insight and understanding into their unique world. With insight the child and therapist can collaborate to reduce the child's current stressors possibly leading to problematic behaviors.

I believe that God is at the center of our existence, and healing requires aligning our hearts and minds toward God. Many of the Muslims I speak to struggle to connect their faith with their cultural and personal identity. Growing up with emotionally immature parents and an authoritarian image of God has left them feeling disconnected from faith, family, and their authentic self. My clients know I've been there. For them, it is refreshing to talk to an imperfect human who gets it, and knows how to overcome the struggles they currently face.

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.
