I began my clinical work with non-profit and community mental health organizations where I had the honor to work with some of the most underserved families and young adults in Los Angeles County. I am new to Maine and beyond thrilled to have the chance to bring more excellent mental heath services to the East Coast! Since opening my private practice in 2017, I have developed specific expertise in working with those struggling with ADHD (adults, adolescents and families), folks in recovery, LGBTQI+ issues, codependence, and trauma focused treatment for those affected by narcissistic abuse or narcissistic family systems.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with thirteen years of clinical experience. Passionate about providing individualized and intentional care, I believe that therapeutic work requires a strong connection, where clients feel heard and empowered. Taking a psychotherapeutic approach, I help clients to develop awareness of how we come to understand ourselves and the way we interact with the world. Through this journey, we develop compassion for the patterns we created to adapt to our environment, while exploring what may keep us from experiencing life with more connection and acceptance, and less shame and judgment.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I believe that sustainable growth happens when you feel seen, and when we are developing a safe and collaborative working relationship. Psychotherapy often focuses on improving coping skills, increasing interpersonal richness, and building a more solid self-experience. This work requires consideration of the underlying dynamics existing in emotions, ways of thinking, and relational patterns that are connected to—but sometimes larger than behavior itself. I strive to work from a place of curiosity, warmth, flexibility, and commitment.

I work with both individuals and couples, helping people to heal from the effects of former or current destructive relationships, restore their sense of trust in themselves, and help them to experience more safety, connection and satisfaction in their lives. Even in the most painful of relationship dynamics (whether with yourself, a partner, a family member, professional relationship, etc.), there is a seed of opportunity for change for the better. Only one person has to shift in order for the entire dynamic to change.

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.
