Relationships can be hard. Whether romantic, platonic, or familial, relationships can sometimes be a source of stress, anxiety and pain.

You could be realizing that the fallout you had with a friend is affecting you more than you thought it would. Or maybe you’re feeling lonely and you want more meaningful connections but social anxiety and lack of confidence are holding you back.

If you experienced narcissistic abuse in your family, relationship or any other setting I understand how challenging it might be to heal the wounds, find your voice and self-esteem back. I believe that there's always a way to move forward and start to heal. What matters is that instead of giving up, you are seeking help and that means you are getting ready to use external and internal resources to move past what's causing you distress. I believe in providing a non-judgmental atmosphere where you feel safe to be yourself.

Underneath your lack of energy and motivation , anger and shame, low self esteem, indecision and anxiety, there are feelings that need to be explored. How we create interest and curiosity, is and will be the foundation of future possibilities and choices. I will provide the support you need to start this journey and then will challenge you and offer new choices in a way that empowers you. Once trust is developed through our work together and you start to see new possibilities, you will join me with curiosity to challenge old patterns . I am available for both online as well as in person sessions at my office on St Clair Avenue.
