Are you wondering if your parent is a narcissist? Do you find yourself walking on eggshells, scared that something you say or do will set them off? Do you end up doubting yourself after every interaction, worrying that you are a bad person? I want you to know that this makes sense. Being manipulated can make it hard to trust yourself. You feel overwhelmed with guilt at not being enough. You keep trying to fix things, to be more understanding, so that your parent will finally be happy. All the while, you just want to be deeply loved and connected to them. You wonder why does this have to be so hard and why do you feel crazy?
Imagine loving yourself so unconditionally that you don't need their validation. It's possible to un-gaslight yourself and feel confident in your own truth. You can learn to feel safe and strong so that family drama doesn't derail you. I am trained by Dr. Ramani to help you heal from narcissistic abuse. I incorporate IFS therapy and music therapy.
You are not alone. I have been where you are and I know what it's like to feel sick, stuck and scared. You are worthy of a safe place to land. You are stronger than you give yourself credit for and therapy can help you to remember your power. With the right tools you can become narcissist-proof.

If you would like to access your spirituality, we can weave in astrological concepts, therapeutic tarot and reiki. For codependency, we use IFS inner child work to help you feel strong and defined from the inside. For anxiety, we use mindfulness, somatic stress release and breathing exercises. Music therapy helps induce relaxation and release stuck emotions. I also bring in humor and playfulness.
