Are you walking on eggshells or saying, “it’s my fault... if only I ... I'm unworthy?” Does hearing, “you’re so sensitive...you don’t make sense...if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t …”? Do other forms of name calling and gaslighting trigger intense feelings of anxiety, depression, and stress? Have you been described as 'codependent'? Are you in a relationship with a narcissist? Is your goal to find your voice and take back your life – the life you want – not the life imposed on you? Let’s collaborate. I’m here to support you in finding your voice and taking back your life – the life you want - the voice that is yours!
If you've lost your voice and self-esteem due to lifelong traumatic experiences such as sexual abuse or rape/partner rape, emotional and mental abuse, along with enduring narcissistic, gaslighting attacks, my years of extensive clinical practice working from a trauma-based perspective, qualifies me to provide services to you.
Gaslighting, narcissistic relationships, walking on eggshells and being afraid to use your voice is painful – stop punishing yourself - you don't deserve that. Instead, using a trauma-focused lens, let’s walk together to manage the negative, painful, feelings created by trauma. Relief IS freeing – and that's what you deserve. Please reach out.

I'm an eclectic therapist! No all clients are the same - some prefer talking about feelings, others like to share their thoughts, yet others work from a behavioral perspective - "tell me what to do." I am adept with working with your style - who you are. Bottom line, how you get there isn't as important as getting there. "Doesn't matter what road you take as long as you get there - or does it?
