As humans we have a deep need to find connection. One of the most challenging things we can face is difficulty being seen and building relationship . Our routes to connection are forged in the relationships we first learn from, early in our lives. Finding our way through what that means for our current reality can be hard to do alone. Together we will explore what came before and what may be next, without losing sight of life now. Sometimes this means sitting in the muck with you; with the trauma, or the depression or the anxiety, and finding a way through; building new pathways of relationship and of being in the world.

My work is informed not only by clinical training, but also by lived experience. I am an immigrant and a survivor of war, and I have engaged extensively in my own trauma-focused therapeutic work. This dual perspective allows me to understand, with depth and discernment, the psychological impact of conflict, displacement, and prolonged survival states.
Many individuals I work with are highly capable and resilient—often strong, responsible, and outwardly composed—yet internally burdened by unresolved trauma, emotional fatigue, or entrenched relational patterns shaped by survival.

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 specialize in attachment and relational trauma, emotionally immature parents, narcissistic relationship dynamics, and high-conflict relationships, using a nervous system-informed approach.
I work with women who feel stuck in patterns they understand but can’t seem to change. You may find yourself people-pleasing, overthinking, over-explaining, taking responsibility for other people’s emotions, or repeatedly questioning your own needs and decisions. These patterns often make more sense when we explore what you learned about safety and relationships growing up, particularly when a parent was emotionally immature, unpredictable, or unable to consistently meet your emotional needs.

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.

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?

These patterns are often described as emotional immaturity or narcissistic dynamics, but we focus on what’s happening underneath and how they affect relationships and the people we care about.
Are you trying to be a good partner or father—but finding yourself shutting down, getting defensive, or repeating patterns you regret? Maybe conversations escalate quickly, you withdraw when things get emotional, or it feels like you’re walking on eggshells trying to avoid conflict. You may have been told you’re hard to talk to or emotionally unavailable. Part of you feels frustrated, blamed, or misunderstood—while another part knows something isn’t working. You don’t want to keep hurting the people you care about or lose your relationship—but you’re not sure how to change what’s happening.

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.
