It is understandable when life becomes difficult. It takes courage to step out and look for a new set of answers. Sometimes it's a stressor from our family, a trauma from just living life, or serving our country in the military. The challenge to cope can be extremely painful, as it commonly is, with Depression, Anxiety, loss, or events like abandonment or grief. Understanding means listening, grasping a problem, formulating a trust in judgment, and assisting a person or family in forming a plan that can keep you moving forward with your life.

Life could be so much easier—more peaceful, more pleasurable—if you didn’t feel so damn tangled in what other people think of you. You want to go after the things you know could fulfill you … but the fear of being “too much” still lingers. That’s where I come in. I blend neuroscience, philosophy, and personal kink to help people unlearn what’s been holding them back—and reclaim the kind of radical autonomy that makes real connection possible. When you stop apologizing for who you are, you make room for the kind of love, sex, work, and self-expression that actually fits.

If you are ready to break free from unhealthy patterns and create a more fulfilling and balanced life, I would be honored to support you in that process.

Relationships are perhaps one of the most important parts of life. They can be rewarding and fulfilling, draining and stressful, maybe even both. Struggles in relationships with others can have a negative impact on our health both physically and mentally. It is the struggle within ourselves, however, that can be the make or break for us in setting the tone for the other relationships in our lives. These challenges can lead to or be caused by anxiety, depression, and other debilitating mental health symptoms.

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.
