Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists in Durham, NC
Coaching clients work with me on topics related to narcissistic abuse recovery, surviving high conflict divorce, supporting their gender expansive child, adjusting to an open relationship or polyamory, working as a traveling artist/musician/production crew, or navigating a major life transition.
I have extensive knowledge related to the topics I coach on and am known for being warm, caring, and funny. One coaching client said that they felt like my hand was on their shoulder while talking through their challenges. Sometimes we just need additional support during a tough or confusing time.

A specialty is victims of narcissistic abuse & trauma.
Feeling broken or overwhelmed? I understand. I've done much research on addiction, codependency & adult children from dysfunctional families. It is possible to overcome barriers to intimacy and learn why we repeat the same relationship mistakes over and over again in new relationships or why we choose unhealthy people. We can change and think differently. It takes effort and accountability, but there is help and hope. Learn from your past. Don't continue to be its victim and let the past determine your future. I work with mental health and all kinds of addictions (substances and behavioral). Let's talk. Live life!

Mick Jagger’s well known refrain tells a story, "I can’t get no satisfaction.” When this refrain becomes a personal credo, our patterned responses to life’s disappointments may provide clues for a way forward. For all of us, the world can disappoint. If what happens next leaves us feeling stymied and lethargic, backed into a corner with no where to go but down, it is possible thinking and talking about our experience in new ways is ultimately what is needed. Psychoanalysis and its therapeutic cousin, psychotherapy (talk therapy), provides a crucible for persons to discover & express our truest & sometimes hidden, motivations in

I treat a wide variety of clinical disorders such as depression, anxiety, OCD, and personality disorders. However, I specialize in the treatment of addiction to drugs, alcohol, and sexually compulsive behaviors better known as “sex addiction.” The reason I don’t prefer that term is because it oversimplifies both the subjective experience and the symptoms. For example, overuse of pornography, or countless hours spent browsing single’s ads online doesn’t necessarily involve sex, but it can be compulsive.

Psychoanalysis provides the most in-depth, long-lasting treatment. Ideal for the person who has tried medications and briefer therapies unsuccessfully. Like exercise and the violin, concentrated long work is required for lifelong growth in the ability to love, work and play, while containing suffering, loss and uncertainty. Quick fixes limited to a pill or briefer therapy, only if insurance pays, tend to be quite expensive long run. Psychoanalysis seeks to get at the underlying roots of problems and their meanings beginning in infancy and childhood, as they play out in the here and now of the therapy, and in recurrent problematic

I offer clients a collaborative approach to address whatever may have brought them to my door. My relationally focused psychodynamic style supports the idea that healing occurs through our connection with others. By providing a safe and solid therapeutic relationship to a person, that person begins to experience a greater range of perspective regarding their own life and the lives around them. With increased self-awareness, individuals are able to recognize that they have more choices in their lives. I have found this to be true regardless of what obstacles a person may be facing.

As a somatic trauma therapist, I understand that painful memories, emotional flashbacks, sadness, ongoing anxiety, stress, and anger aren’t just stories from your past - they are experiences that are held in your body, continuously shaping how you move through the world. Maybe therapy isn’t new to you, but you’re searching for deeper, more transformative healing. I resonate with the struggles you are facing, and understand that these challenges aren’t just isolated experiences, but part of a complex and ongoing journey. Together, we’ll create a path toward healing that’s embodied, transformative, and sustainable.

With over 25 years of experience, I subscribe to a solution-focus philosophy, in which I strive to address the problem with you as quickly as possible, but with enough depth to avoid relapse. I set goals early in treatment with adults and couples, or with children/teenagers and their families, so we can find successful solutions and change behavior problems, emotional difficulties, academic difficulties, or family problems as soon as possible. I love people and people's stories, and am always truly and deeply interested in the story of every child, teen, and adult I meet! I also think laughter is therapeutic and therapy can be fun.

With the challenges of life growing for most everyone, people deserve a supportive space to be seen, heard, and honored. I work with LGBTQIA+ clients, folks with personality disorders (& their loved ones), neurodivergent clients, folks with chronic pain/illness, and people who have experienced trauma. Clients describe me as kind, insightful, adaptive, and creative. I often receive feedback that I help clients understand the relationship between systems of oppression and challenging mental health outcomes. This results in a deeper understanding of interdependence, a platform for self-validation, and also a greater sense of community.

My journey in the mental health field began in 2021, gaining experience in inpatient clinical social work within a diverse and fast-paced setting. My passion for social work was sparked during my time in the veterinary field. While I enjoyed working with animals, I found deeper fulfillment in supporting clients, building rapport, offering emotional support, and helping them access resources. That connection inspired me to pursue social work on a broader scale, focusing on helping people navigate life’s challenges.

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.
