Each of us traverses a landscape unique to ourselves, and there are times when loss, grief, anxiety, depression, and low motivation overtake our robustness, sense of purpose & peace of mind. Sometimes, those issues can intersect with bullying, abuse, accident, illness, relationship upsets, and online or in-person bullying that can further chip away at our right to ease and inner coherence at a time when the world around us is already filled with confusion and difficulty. At these times, a warm, practical and receptive therapeutic experience can help us make meaning and reclaim calm.

You might find yourself constantly second guessing your reactions, your needs, or your decisions. Maybe you feel drained from always being the one who keeps the peace, gives more than you receive, or carries the emotional weight in relationships. Many of the people I work with are trying to understand patterns that keep repeating, especially after emotionally difficult relationships, burnout, addiction, or experiences that have left them questioning their confidence or sense of self.

I am especially passionate about working with clients witch childhood and attachment trauma.

I became a therapist because, just like you, I am human and have had my fair share of battles. It took a long time for me to get to where I am today. I recognize that in moments of hopelessness, it is hard to find determination, that depression can be scary, that anxiety can be overwhelming, and that traumatic experiences can leave one feeling emotionally exhausted and drained out. I acknowledge the stigma associated with mental health and in going to therapy. For this reason, I know how crucial it is to provide therapy that is client-centered, empathetic, and unique to each person’s needs.

You don’t trust people. You are getting swept up in your thoughts and emotions, do not feel like yourself (or maybe do not have a strong sense of self), and are finding it difficult to live the life you want to live. Your anxiety and mood swings are pulling you into confrontations or causing you to act out in ways that are hurtful to either you or others. Your inner experiences are confusing and disorienting, and you are not sure what to do. Self-care is a foreign concept. Carrying this weight – all day, every day – is exhausting. If this resonates with you, I can help.

Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Counsellors
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.
