I specialize working with individuals who have or are currently enduring narcissistic abuse (like gaslighting and emotional manipulation) who often arrive at therapy feeling confused and depressed. Victims of narcissistic partners/family often struggle with self-blame, fueling a painful cycle of self-doubt, shame, and depression. I also work with sexual abuse, complex trauma, and substance misuse recovery. We will focus on rebuilding self-esteem and embracing a future where you feel validated and strong.
I offer a client-centered approach, utilizing narrative reframing and mindfulness to process grief from traumatic abuse. We focus on self-acceptance to combat shame, guiding you towards a fuller, more authentic self.
I've personally navigated the journey from narcissistic abuse and complex trauma, finding joy in nature, enriching relationships, and community. Understanding your struggle, I'm here to help guide your healing path. Thank you for considering therapy; I'm open to any questions you might have.
