Raised by a narcissistic or emotionally immature parent?
Using Bowen family-systems, IFS parts work, the Gottman Method, existential inquiry, CBT, and mindfulness, I tailor 50-minute sessions that target the roots—not just the symptoms—of scapegoating, system anxiety, and relationship turmoil. You’ll leave each meeting with a concrete practice: boundary scripts, nervous-system resets, or partner dialogue guides.

I'm Julia, and I specialize in trauma and abuse recovery using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), with a special focus on narcissistic abuse recovery.
I’m not the kind of therapist who just listens. I’m actively involved in our sessions. I will ask you thoughtful questions, reflect on your story, and help you consider links to your childhood. In addition to EMDR, I use a variety of creative activities that allow you deep reflection, a change in thinking, and the processing of adverse events.

I also specialize in ADHD, particularly in women, and narcissistic abuse recovery.
Hey, I know starting therapy can feel super intimidating. The idea of opening up to someone you’ve never met? Yeah, totally nerve-wracking. As a therapist and someone who’s been on the therapy couch myself, I get how overwhelming that first step can be. That’s why I show up as a real person first, no judgment, no clinical coldness, just a space where you can be authentically you.

I adhere to the custody evaluation guidelines provided by the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC).
I work with clients facing challenges stemming from early-year adverse experiences, including Complex Trauma (Childhood trauma, relational trauma), C-PTSD, Narcissistic, Borderline, and Schizoid Personalities, Depression, Anxiety, Self-esteem, Relationship/Attachment Issues, and so on.
In my view, psychotherapy isn’t about merely “fixing” things or using tools to solve "problems." The ultimate aim of psychotherapy is to bring about psychological change, which is beyond “What we do.” When working with clients, I don’t rush or effort to get somewhere. If we go too fast and try too hard to achieve something, we will miss things that potentially can bring us learning about ourselves and opportunities for change. I use the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) as the primary framework, which allows us to slow things down, exploring your heart’s desire and obstacles in the way of connecting to yourself and others.

Change is a difficult and humbling process. Patience, kindness, and self-forgiveness are often not lessons we learned as children. Talk therapy isn’t about advice or guidance; it’s about learning to listen to your decision-making processes, noticing your emotions, understanding the needs you're trying to meet, discovering your value system, and making small, deliberate changes. In session, we'll tailor our work to fit your goals. Seeking therapy takes courage. I congratulate you for it.

My philosophy is that the past builds our being through the experiences we had and the lessons we learned. These experiences help to shape our sense of meaning and personal fulfilment through our journey. Therefore, I believe that it is important to explore the past and see how it shapes our experience in relation to ourselves and others. I incorporate this perspective in my work with clients and help to emphasize the power of choice, explore unmet needs and help to explore important areas for boundary setting.

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.
