Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, or a difficult relationship that affects your day-to-day life, ability to function, family, or relationships? Do you feel worried, nervous, sad, down, or frustrated just trying to get through the day, and wondering if there’s a light at the end of the tunnel? Do you wonder if or hope that life could be better? Now more than ever, men, women, and teenagers are feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, and discouraged about overcoming very real life challenges. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live better, people are able to change, and there is hope and answers to life’s difficult problems.

I understand that starting therapy requires courage. My study of psychodynamic theory has allowed me to understand the complex ways in which childhood experiences shape the way we look at the world. I want to help make sense of the ineffable. So many patients have described feeling like they are "missing something". I have noticed that more often than not, what is missing are lost parts of the self. It is my goal to provide psychodynamic psychotherapy with proper depth and duration to allow a deeper understanding of the self, a sense of peace, resilience, and a emergence of creativity.

I have over twenty years experience working with adolescents. My primary expertise is working with teens, parents and family dynamics but I love working with anyone who is seeking to empower and better themselves. I have experience working with almost every problem and issue but I have found that what truly makes a difference is when people learn to be the most powerful element of change in their own lives. People get better when they become empowered and learn to help themselves. That's when they start to look beyond their own limits. I love seeing people make this step, those are the ones I love working with the most.

We have these internal conflicts that appear in our lives almost daily, If we don't resolve these internal conflicts as they arise they become bigger and more impactful in our day to day functioning, and we can get to a point where we feel "stuck" or trapped in our own lives. We can even get so stuck we start avoiding basic human needs.

Have you ever felt stuck, struggling to make it day by day? That you are never good enough? Mentally and physically you just feel blah, like life is tedious and flat. It just seems like regardless of how hard you try, whatever progress you make, you eventually slip back into old habits. Yet, other people seem to have it all together, happy relationships, successful careers, and happy fulfilled life. The comparison and constant stress, anxiety, and pressure are taking a toll, keeping you trapped in an unfulfilling life.

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.
