Welcome, your healing journey starts here! As a trauma informed provider focusing on Narcissistic abuse; I offer an exclusive, signature personalized healing plan consisting of 14 unique healing factors. I combine personal knowledge, deep human connection, and evidence-based treatments. Improving boundaries, self-esteem, and trauma response behaviors are some of my main focuses in therapy. I employ EMDR, CBT, DBT, Trauma Focused, and mindfulness-based approaches. I engage in frequent continuing education in order to remain up to date with the latest and most effective evidence-based treatments. Hablo Espanol!
My typical client has experienced trauma and/or abuse, and need help navigating avoidant/anxious attachment styles. Narcissistic abuse survivors compose a large part of my practice. My clients typically struggle with identity issues, anxious attachment style, depression, low self self-esteem, assertiveness issues, panic attacks, and boundary issues.
If you are ready to change your life therapy is that step that can lead to helping you perceive yourself and others differently, and to feeling whole and aware, finding and understanding yourself at a deeper level. You have nothing to lose, except for an opportunity to grow and evolve!
