As a psychologist, I help people who experience anxiety to find a way out. Through my 35 years of working with clients, I know how distressing it can be to live with anxiety. If you constantly worry that something unwanted will happen in the future and find your thoughts racing, making it impossible to relax, if you feel unpleasant sensations in your body and fear that there is something wrong with you, you don’t have to feel alone. I will help you understand how anxiety works in the mind and body. I will help you break the grip it has on you.

Every Relationship can be seen as a "long conversation". I can help you have better conversations with the people you love and/or happen to encounter in your daily life. In Individual/Couples/Family (including Sibling) therapy, I can offer new communication skills and increase your understanding and empathy of your own thoughts, feelings, and wants in a way that will make you feel more empowered, more courageous. Getting to know - and accept - our true feelings, intuitions, wants, etc. is the first step to increasing our tenderness towards ourselves and others, and maybe, sometimes, even some inner peace, and a sense of humour.

I work with adults who feel stuck in repetitive patterns—such as substance use, compulsive behaviors, or difficult relationships—that often trace back to early relational trauma or attachment wounds. Many of my clients grew up in emotionally unsafe, chaotic, or unpredictable family systems and learned coping strategies that once helped them survive, but now feel limiting or painful.
My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-oriented, and grounded in family systems work. Together, we explore how past relationships shape present behaviors, increase emotional regulation, and build healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. The

People come to psychotherapy for a variety of reasons. Making our way in this world demands so much self-reliance and yet we are given very little opportunity to get to know ourselves well. We keep our fears and uncertainty about whether we have what it takes to survive our struggles very close to our chests. This is such a fragile place to live. Ignoring our emotions and "soldiering on" creates a life of isolation and confusion. This may manifest as depression, anxiety, or uncertainty about how to wish, desire, and create a life worth living.

At some point in our lives, we all experience setbacks, struggles, or a nagging sense that something is missing. It may come in the form of relationship conflict, failure at work, an unexpected loss or trauma, or some other upset.

During these times, our capacity to face our challenges with an open heart is actually our doorway to the vitality, freedom, and fulfillment we long for.

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.
