I also know that life is hard; and your struggles, hardships, and battles can get in the way of achieving your dreams.

Not currently accepting new clients- waitlist only. My approach to therapy is holistic, engaging and centered around highlighting my client’s strengths so that these can be harnessed to help them reach their goals.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and relationship coach specializing in narcissistic abuse. I am also a media contributor, author, and the owner of The Z Group, a private therapy practice specializing in anxiety, depression, and complex relationship dynamics. Narcissistic abuse in any relationship is insidious, confusing, and often terrifying. These relationships can be extremely isolating and lonely. Support feels limited; sometimes even impossible to obtain. You may feel trapped for a myriad of reasons including lack of social support, limited access to finances, fear of losing custody of your children, and low self worth.

It’s not easy to face the problems alone. Struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and family issues, parenting, or major life changes can be challenging.

I am confident that because of my professional experience in therapy I am the person who can help you to start the healing process now.

I specialize in treating people who are living with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, caregiving stress, or medical illness.

Someone made a mistake at work that you had to stay late to fix – no problem. Your spouse forgot to pick up the cake you reminded him about five times – all good. The kids knocked over and broke an heirloom vase – don’t worry about it. You are so understanding and forgiving with everyone in your life. But, if you make the tiniest error, you can’t let yourself live it down. You’re unsure why it’s so impossible for you to accept anything less than perfection. You suspect it may have to do with unresolved pain from your past. But you can’t let anyone know you’re suffering, so you pretend everything is fine and hope no one notices.
