When faced with the shame and guilt of problematic compulsive behaviors—such as pornography addiction, infidelity, or substance use—many men feel deeply alone and isolated. But these struggles don't exist in a vacuum. Partners and loved ones are often left in the wake, carrying pain, confusion, and betrayal they never asked for.
Whether you're the one seeking help for your behaviors or a partner trying to make sense of the hurt you've experienced, your story matters. Healing is possible, and no one should have to navigate it alone. Reaching out is an act of courage—for both the one in recovery and the one who has been hurt.

I specialize in helping introspective adults who are struggling with anxiety challenges like people-pleasing & perfectionism, suffering from trauma from narcissistic abuse, or navigating being a highly sensitive person.
Does it feel like your inner critic has been getting its way for far too long? It’s always berating you, saying: “Nothing you do is ever good enough”... “There isn’t even much going on right now, why are you so overwhelmed?”... “You knew waiting until the last second would be awful, why do you have to waste so much time making everything perfect?”... Intuitively, you know the Critic is separate from who you are, but it gets so loud and persistent sometimes that your self-esteem can’t help but take a hit. You’re constantly feeling guilty, shameful, anxious, and small, and don’t know how to feel better.

I am a systems thinker who is a trauma-informed and LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist. I believe that healing is an inward process. Through the process of being curious and empathetic, one can integrate and expand a sense of self. I believe we learn about ourselves through our relationships and understand the feelings that arise as an opportunity for growth. I have explored many alternative healing and energy practices throughout my life. I draw on the interconnection of mind-body-spirit as a framework to help individuals strengthen self-awareness and gain clarity around challenging issues.

Subspecialty: narcissistic abuse treatment
It seems inevitable that at some point in everyone's life, the thread that connects us to our deepest center becomes frayed or lost. We may experience this as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, physical illness, feeling "stuck", and more. These symptoms are messengers of the soul and can lead us to that deep place where healing and transformation can occur. Our psyche also speaks to us through joy, a sense of "calling," intuitions, synchronicities, talents, etc... but often we listen best to pain. Together, we can rediscover your authentic Self and access your own wellspring of healing.

My counseling philosophy seeks to find the root of issues, rather than only focusing on managing surface-level symptoms. I incorporate positive psychology, Attachment theory, Family Systems, and Jungian analysis- including a focus on Personality Types, as identified by the Myers-Briggs (MBTI). I believe change occurs in therapy when the client is able to identify the things that are holding them back or distracting them from finding fulfillment in developing their true self. My work as a therapist is to partner with you on your journey toward wholeness as a safe, consistent, trustworthy listener and helper.

Many come to therapy knowing only that they are struggling to get things done, their relationships have become a source of stress rather than comfort, or they need help processing trauma, loss, or other painful experiences impacting their daily lives. Whatever your circumstances, I strive to help each person or family I work with achieve greater emotional, psychological, and social well-being, while also alleviating symptoms. I use the power of storytelling and understand that each person I work with has many, important stories to tell. I also value and work with each person's nervous system in the healing process.

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.
