Growing up with a Narcissistic Parent was like living in emotional captivity. You never had the chance to figure out what you wanted because your parent’s voice was so dominating and overwhelming. Now, you realize that you’ve still never escaped that manipulation and guilt, and lack personal agency. You keep wondering if there’s any way to fix things. You desperately wish that there was some way to escape the feelings of guilt and shame. And when you think about your future, your greatest fear is that you’ll repeat these same toxic patterns with your own family. You feel so helpless.
Let’s work together to understand what happened. In our sessions, we’ll explore how your past shaped you and your ways of relating to yourself and others. We’ll set clear, self-honoring boundaries that help you free yourself from toxic dynamics, discover your own needs, and change patterns in current relationships so that you can begin the process of healing
Learn to trust yourself again. Discover your purpose. Grow your independence. Develop resilience even in the face of challenges. Build the tools you need to show yourself compassion and finally advocate for your own well-being. You don’t have to do this alone any longer. Get the support and guidance you deserve. Call now for your free consultation.

I work with people who have had a Narcissistic or toxic parent. Difficulties can include: understanding your experience to be difficult or unusual, dealing with conflict with those close to you and giving proper weight to their own wishes and desires (or even knowing what they are!) See my website for more info about my work with Transgender Individuals.
