In the busyness of life, whether you’re caring for others, navigating a new season, or adjusting to a new place, it’s easy to push emotions aside. Over time, stress, anxiety, and worries can pile up and feel overwhelming. I often describe emotions like a basket of laundry: eventually, they need care and attention. I believe healing happens best in safe, compassionate spaces, grounded in hope and grace.
I work with busy moms, young adults in transition, and immigrants, helping clients build self-awareness, regulate emotions like anxiety, anger, and depression, and strengthen communication and relationships.

Life has a way of pulling us away from ourselves. Whether you're navigating divorce, relationship challenges, family conflict, career change, or simply feeling stuck, it can become difficult to know what's true anymore. We spend so much energy managing everyone else, solving problems, or searching for answers that we lose touch with ourselves. My role isn't to tell you what to do. It's to help you slow down, understand your patterns, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with your own inner wisdom so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence and intention.

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.

I specialize in helping survivors of trauma—including narcissistic abuse and complex PTSD—build mind-body connection, calm their nervous systems, gain new skills, and heal old wounds.
Do you feel weighed down by anxiety, shame, or self-doubt? Have painful experiences or toxic relationships left you stuck in patterns like people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-blame? Is your inner critic louder than your own voice, leaving you exhausted from holding it all together?

Therapy is a space to slow down, feel truly heard, and make sense of the experiences that shaped you so you can move toward a life that feels fulfilling.

Whether you have left or are still finding your way out, healing from narcissistic and emotional abuse is possible.
You keep replaying conversations, trying to work out what you did wrong, even when some part of you knows you did nothing. You walked on eggshells for so long that second-guessing yourself became normal. Maybe the control was quiet: the guilt, the silent treatment, the cold shoulder, the way your version of events kept getting rewritten until you no longer trusted your own memory. From the outside no one could see it, so you started to wonder if you were imagining it. You were not. What happened to you has a name, you are not too sensitive, and here you will be believed.

I focus on: high-conflict or narcissistic relationship dynamics, infidelity, stay-or-go cycles; as a queer therapist, I also focus on clients with ADHD/autism and LGBTQ+ groups.
You've probably already done the analysis. Late nights with ChatGPT, a shelf of psychology books, a working vocabulary of attachment styles and defense mechanisms — you could almost predict what a therapist will say. Yet the stuck feeling stays: the 2 a.m. rumination that won't switch off, a relationship you can't decide whether to fight for or leave, the loop of "I know exactly what my pattern is — so why can't I change it?" Most of my clients are like this: high-functioning, deeply self-aware, often living between cultures or carrying an immigration story, excellent at solving every problem except this one.

We'll name what gaslighting and narcissistic patterns actually look like, work through the guilt and self-doubt they leave behind, and reconnect you with what you know to be true.
You've started keeping notes, just so you can check your own memory later. You apologise for things you're not even sure you did, and you second-guess what you saw and heard. From the outside the relationship looks fine, which is part of what makes it so hard to explain to anyone. When someone rewrites what happened often enough, you start to lose trust in your own read on things. If you're beginning to wonder whether what you've been living with has a name, you're not imagining it, and you're not too sensitive.

I specialize in narcissistic abuse, grief/loss, emotionally focused therapy, attachment trauma, and perfectionism.
We teach people how to treat us. If we don’t know how to love ourselves, to accept ourselves, to be compassionate with ourselves, how can we expect others to? If you struggle with issues such as people pleasing, guilt, shame, having high expectations of yourself but have low expectations of others then you have placed others’ needs over your own. If you have a hard time saying no because you worry that others will not like you or want to spend time with you, then working on boundaries assists you with experiencing clearer expectations of yourself and others. Work towards a healthier you.

I help adults recover from narcissistic abuse, coercive control, and emotional abuse, whether it came from a partner, a parent, or someone else close to you.
If you've left, or are still in, a relationship with someone who twisted your reality, you might be questioning whether it was really that bad, replaying conversations to figure out what you did wrong, or feeling anxious, foggy, and unsure you can trust your own judgment anymore. Maybe the control was quiet: guilt, the silent treatment, walking on eggshells, so from the outside no one can see it. You're not too sensitive and you're not crazy. What happened to you has a name, and the confusion, self-doubt, and exhaustion you're carrying make complete sense.

Thirteen years with narcissistic and emotionally immature family systems — scapegoated adults, and the couples and families repeating it a generation later.
I work from Bowen family systems, IFS, Jungian depth psychology, and nervous-system-informed practice. We map the system you actually grew up inside, then practise living differently inside it.
Together we map the system you actually grew up inside: the triangles, the roles that were assigned rather than chosen, what got handed down before you arrived.

My focus is supporting survivors of narcissistic abuse and toxic relationships.
You have started to doubt your own memory. Conversations get rewritten, and somehow you always end up apologizing for things you are not even sure you did. You replay moments over and over, trying to work out what is real, because you have been told so many times that you are too sensitive, too much, or imagining it all. Slowly the confident person you used to be has gone quiet, and you barely recognize the anxious, second-guessing version of yourself that is left.

Postpartum mental health is another area of focus in my practice, and I strive to provide a supportive space where clients can openly discuss the challenges that often accompany this stage of life.

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.
