Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists in Glenns Ferry, ID

Are you a woman struggling to heal from a traumatic relationship, or maybe a lifetime of traumatic relationships with family members, friends and/or romantic partners? Do you find yourself repeatedly involved with individuals high in narcissistic traits (i.e. superiority, entitlement, exploitative, lack of empathy, etc)? Maybe you struggle to find a strong sense of identity or worth, or keep getting trapped in perfectionism, people-pleasing, and a lack of healthy boundaries?

As a practicing therapist for over 23 years, I have had the privilege of working collaboratively with my clients to assist them in finding solutions to their problems and learning how to live life more authentically and with greater joy. Whatever your circumstance, if you're struggling to make changes, therapy and developing greater insight, may be just the help you need to make the changes you want.

Limited Openings! Do you identify as a high achiever, type A personality, people pleaser, or perfectionist struggling with one or more relationships in your life? Stress may feel unmanageable, you might be tired of people walking over you or struggling to say no. I help clients identify unhealthy, manipulative or controlling behavior (which may include narcissistic patterns of emotional abuse). I teach clients skills to communicate more directly, identify red flags, set boundaries, build self-esteem, balance stress, and safety plan if/when you decide to leave the relationship(s). I offer support whether you choose to stay or leave.

The road to recovery can be overwhelming and not always clear. Our licensed professionals are here to help with competence and compassion on things like family conflicts, disturbed moods (such as anger, anxiety, panic, and depression) behavioral disturbances, stress, relationship conflicts, social problems, career issues, loss, grief, addiction, and trauma.

I am passionate about helping people from all walks of life. I believe that counseling is best done within a relationship built on trust and collaboration. I want to get to know you, your story, and what you want from counseling. From there begins a collaborative process with clients to outline a treatment plan and create manageable goals.

Hello! If you are here, something is not okay in your life, and you are looking for something different. I bring 19 years of experience and expertise in helping clients find relief from the challenging and distressing emotional, physical, and cognitive effects of trauma. Traumatic experiences can often leave you feeling emotionally overwhelmed and out of control of your emotions, thoughts, body, and life. It is common for trauma survivors to experience mental health symptoms, chronic pain, substance use or abuse, spiritual struggles, low self-esteem, feelings of shame, and feeling disconnected from themselves and loved ones.

Sometimes you may feel all alone and that no one understands. Or you may even be unsure as to what is happening inside of yourself, or how to handle what you are experiencing in life.

“THAT WHICH WE NEED THE MOST WILL BE FOUND WHERE WE LEAST WANT TO LOOK.” Carl Jung... Perhaps you are suffering with something that's been attached to you since childhood or you are battling a current problem in one of the many units of your life (financial, physical, spiritual, relational etc). Perhaps you're not sure what's wrong, but things just don't seem quite right, perhaps I can help.

Counseling is a pretty scary idea. Often, the clients that I work with have not experienced a safe relationship in a long time. The idea of sitting in a room and sharing your life story with someone seems like a recipe for betrayal and pain. At some point, though, the need for healing outweighs that risk and you choose to start working towards wellness. It is an uncomfortable, heavy, and ultimately extremely rewarding journey. I'm ready to get started with you.
