As a dedicated therapist, I specialize in guiding individuals who have experienced trauma, particularly from narcissistic and toxic relationships. My expertise lies in creating a safe and nurturing environment where you can begin to heal and reclaim your life. With a focus on proven therapeutic modalities like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR, combined with extensive training in addressing all levels of dissociation—including DID—I am equipped with the skills and tools necessary for profound healing. Additionally, I utilize Polyvagal-informed care to help regulate your nervous system, fostering a sense of calm and resilience.
Unlock your journey to healing! As a passionate author, dynamic speaker, and experienced trainer on Narcissistic Abuse, I offer a unique pathway for those seeking to break free from the grip of toxic relationships. Together, we will navigate the steps toward healing, empowering you to rediscover your true self and reclaim your life!
