Finding the right therapist can feel a lot like dating—you want someone you connect with who makes you feel safe, understood, and free to be yourself. My goal is to create that kind of space: one built on trust, warmth, and real connection. In our work together, you can expect honesty, compassion, humor, and curiosity. I’m not here to “fix” you but to help you explore what’s weighing on you, uncover what no longer serves you, and find tools to feel more confident, grounded, and at peace.

When we grow up with narcissistic parents, we are creative at finding ways to avoid their criticism, rejection or abandonment.
We all develop creative strategies for surviving bad childhoods. During therapy we will identify & unlearn your conditioning, identify and express your feelings and needs, process negative memories, learn new life skills - and whatever else it is you uniquely need. My goal by the end of our work is for you to feel "at home" within yourself and relationships.

It can be difficult to change even if we are aware where we would like to go. It can be frustrating when we ask ourselves “How did I get here?” or “I know what is wrong, I feel powerless to change?” These are important questions to be asking and shows an awareness that a part of you is recognizing that your able to change and you’re working on ways of undergoing this process.

How we are today is made from our biology and the environment we are brought up in. While many of our problems are not our faults, it is up to each of us to solve them anyway. That's where I would like to help. We can't do what we haven't been taught, and unfortunately, many people have not been taught how to process the impactful moments of their lives in a way that leaves them feeling in control of themselves. Through therapy, each person can feel empowered to make their life what they want it to be; not just what their experiences have currently left them with.

I work with those who feel disconnected from themselves and the world around them. Stress, trauma, or other difficulties can leave us feeling splintered and fragmented. Many of us learned how to survive in a confusing world that dismissed or punished our need for self-expression in the context of loving, affirming communities. I work with folx learning how to be themselves while reinforcing or creating meaningful relationships.

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.
