My clients are usually exhausted before they reach out. They've been gaslit, told to communicate better with someone who can't reciprocate, or sat through couples therapy where their partner charmed the therapist too. Some of the most damaging relationships involve a partner who is smart, accomplished, or charming, traits that make the manipulation harder to see and harder to explain. These traits show up differently from person to person, and what you're dealing with is real.
I bring nearly two decades of forensic and clinical experience with psychopathic, narcissistic, and antisocial personalities, including doctoral research on these dynamics in both men and women. My approach is direct and irreverent, not soft-focus self-help. I'll tell you the hard thing plainly, because it's usually more useful than comfort.
You don't need the right words yet, or even know exactly what you need from this. A consultation is just a conversation, what's going on, whether I'm the right fit, and what's realistic from here. If something here sounds like you, I'd like to hear about it.

The relationship is rarely the whole story. Often there is more underneath, a parent with these same traits, earlier trauma, or patterns that made someone like this feel familiar. My work goes beneath the immediate situation to the layers that brought you here, so you are not just recovering from one person but understanding what made you vulnerable to them and changing it.
