I specialize in Neurodiversity and Dark-Triad Personality Traits, which means I primarily cater to people: (1) with innately idiosyncratic brains (Autism, ADHD, OCD, Dyslexia, Sensory Processing Issues, etc); (2) who have been subjected to narcissistic abuse; (3) that are self-aware narcissists or psychopaths who want to be better adjusted. These two populations appear to be surprisingly intertwined socially, unwittingly seeking one another, and having the other group in their lives. Unusual and/or extreme brains have such a rhythm to their interpersonal relationships, which is frequently colorful, but not without its burdens.

I will guide you if your family is crumbling, your ex is narcissistic , and you feel helpless to protect your kids.
All you wanted was a simple divorce. Instead, it's devolved into a divorce driven by hate from your Ex. Suddenly it's clear that they had no intention of striving for an "amicable" experience for you or your kids. The person you married is playing a purely “win-lose” defensive game of "win at all" costs because you've ceased to be of any use. Consequently, every topic is a “big deal” to be fought over. You may be facing increasing amounts of useless motions filed to further increase animosity. You’ve reached the point where you have no idea how to navigate it. I am here to step in and help you end that chaos and restore control.

Divorce/ high conflict relationships/ narcissistic abuse/ conflict coach /mediator If you are in a high conflict relationship and want to get out, you've come to the right place. My focus is on helping men and women develop the skills and strategies they need to disengage, deescalate, and move on with their lives. Endless conflict, "word salad" arguments, gaslighting, love bombing, walking on eggshells...these are all signs of emotional abuse and it can be so hard to move on from that. But that doesn’t mean empowering solutions aren’t waiting for you at the other end of it: I’ll walk that path to empowerment and freedom with you .

“Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.” – Alan Watts. Sounds pretty pointless and dumb to me (and probably to dentists everywhere). Attempting to work on yourself alone only takes you so far and really drags out the Suffer-Fest. That’s what therapy is all about; an unbiased, collaborative relationship, preferably with someone who actually gives a shit (me, hi), that can help you to understand and accept yourself fully.

I help people ditch the codependence label and dig into their relationships and embrace saying No to Others and Yes to Yourself. Together we will learn about the people you invite into your life, the ones who seem to keep showing up uninvited, and where you need a little help to make sure you have a choice in who comes and goes. My clients struggle like you do. Despite knowing how to take care of almost anything in life, you need a little help pausing and turning toward yourself to find out what you want to know.

It is my belief that we all have an innate desire to connect, feel heard, and be understood. My therapeutic approach is grounded in this belief, and it is my hope that we will create a meaningful therapy that is validating and encouraging, yet simultaneously challenging enough to be a catalyst for meaningful growth. Because change often occurs as a byproduct of a connected and understanding relationship, a critical task of therapy is to help you explore, understand, and challenge what meanings you have made of your experiences, and in so doing, facilitate a new experience of yourself or your relationships.

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.
