Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists in Lincoln, CA
You've tried talking it out. You've read the books. Maybe you've even done couples therapy before — the kind where you take turns sharing feelings and leave wondering if anything actually changed.
You're still stuck. The same fights keep happening. The distance keeps growing. You're starting to wonder if this is just how it's going to be, or if it's time to call it.
You don't need someone to validate you. You need someone to help you see what's actually going on — and what you can do about it.
That's what I do. I work with couples who are ready to stop going in circles and start making real progress.

I specialize in the neuroscience of how people think, react, and show up in relationships. I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck in repeating patterns—overthinking, shutting down, people-pleasing, or conflict cycles they can’t seem to break. Together, we identify what’s actually driving those patterns and build the ability to respond with clarity instead of reactivity. I also work with pilots and high-performance professionals who need a space to process stress, identity, and relationships—without risking their careers or compromising their edge.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complex impacts of narcissistic abuse, ADHD, anxiety, and trauma.
The Unconscious mind is a part of the mind that triggers a collection of thoughts which inhibit our mind without us being aware of them. Although these processes exist beneath the surface of conscious awareness, they are thought to exert an effect on conscious thought processes and behavior. The unconscious phenomena include repressed feelings and desires, memories, automatic skills, subliminal perceptions, and automatic reactions. As humans, we are wired to repeat deeply learned patterns that, at a certain point, no longer serve us. Whether it’s in your work life, personal relationships, or your relationship to yourself.

For as long as you can remember, life’s been a struggle. You learned early on that it was safest to stay small, quiet, and not make a fuss. As you got older, you found yourself repeating these same patterns in your relationships, enduring a string of toxic partners because you don’t believe you deserve any better. All the while, you keep a smile on your face. You take on more and more responsibility, spreading yourself perilously thin, hiding your feelings behind a successful facade. It’s exhausting, but it’s easier than facing the truth; that every day you feel more anxious, trapped, and disconnected. Something has to change.

You have tried over and over to change without success. No matter what you try, you don't seem to make any progress. Sometimes, you think 'this is just the way it is." You may have given up hope of ever having something different. This cycle can be so discouraging. I am interested working people with who feel stuck, especially those who have a sense that there is something inside that prevents them from moving forward.

I have been practicing psychotherapy since 2004 and am currently serving as the Director of the Center for Transformational Therapy in Nevada City.
I am accepting clients who are interested in moving beyond ego psychology and engaging in deeper transformative work. The transformational process involves establishing a relationship with Awareness and through that relationship discovering the capacity to transcend our core deficiency stories and reactive emotions. The realization of fundamental happiness occurs through this process as the natural shift in identity from the ego or the 'me' to the Self.

Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists
What type of therapy is best for narcissistic personality disorder?
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is best treated with talk therapy, which could involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, schema therapy, gestalt therapy, or similar approaches. A therapist will help a patient uncover the feelings that may drive their behavior and discover how to engage with themselves and those around them with greater empathy and understanding, fewer demands, and less defensiveness, with the goal of developing a more authentic sense of self that enables healthier relationships.
How do therapists treat NPD?
By developing a strong therapeutic relationship, and continually focusing patients on relationships, community, and connection, a therapist, through talk therapy, may be able to help someone with NPD change. In sessions, a therapist will help an individual achieve relief from their current stressors, including the treatment of co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression. A therapist may also help an individual to recognize unhealthy coping mechanisms, learn new ways of interacting with others, and eventually become able to feel and display empathy.
Can a narcissist be cured with therapy?
Therapy can be effective. After a serious setback or great loss, someone with NPD may be forced to recognize that they are not immune to life’s challenges. That can spur feelings of melancholy and depression that lead them to seek professional help. Once an individual decides to seek help, they have already taken a step that the majority of those with NPD never will. Still, people with NPD often quit therapy as they naturally resist feeling vulnerable, being challenged, or admitting to flaws.
How can you get narcissistic personality disorder treatment for someone?
It is notoriously difficult to convince someone with NPD to seek help. With their feelings of superiority, they may be unlikely to recognize or acknowledge that they have a problem, or that their problem is narcissism. Sometimes, they are aware that they are arrogant and that others resent them but they don’t see it as a problem because they are convinced of their superiority. People with NPD have trouble maintaining relationships, but family members and others who do feel close to them, and whose presence they value, may be able to encourage them to seek therapy.
