Are you trapped in a relationship with a narcissistic partner? Are you a survivor of abuse and would like to gain your quality of life back? Do you have a child or teen who is struggling at home and at school? You are taking the right step by getting help! It took a lot of courage to overcome the stigma and reach this point. You don't have to walk alone. I can help you find the strength within yourself to navigate troubled waters.
I have experience counseling survivors of trauma, abuse, and intimate partner violence. I can help you if you have low self-worth, anxiety, or PTSD stemming from emotional abuse and narcissistic family systems. I also work with children and youth, particularly from immigrant, refugee and BIPOC families who struggle with identity and acculturative stress.
I come from a place of non-judgement, as I believe that everyone is created in their own unique mold. I believe that if given the right tools, you can deal with any circumstances and thrive. If you think we would be a good fit, I would be honored to help you find the strength and resilience within you. Together, we can bring out the best version of yourself.
