It's a constant deluge of criticism. An endless refrain of put-downs. No matter what I do or where I turn, I end up like a deer in headlights. I don’t know how it happens, but it’s ALWAYS my fault. I can never get things right! So, I placate. I appease... I even beg! But nothing works. Instead, I walk around all day in a haze of confusion and shame. My nerves are shot leaving me anxious one day and depressed another. The one thing I DO know is that I’m a shell of my former self. My goals, my dreams, my relationships… they all fade away as I lose a little more of myself each day. I don’t know how I got here or how to get out!
Being with someone with a toxic personality disorder can erode the very fiber of your being, sapping your confidence, self-esteem, and sense of reality. I know – I was married to a malignant narcissist for ten years. In therapy, I’ll help you process what’s going on and teach you new ways to handle the turmoil in your mind, body, and emotions.
We’ll get back in touch with what’s important to YOU and YOUR life. You’ll heal those open wounds and restore your confidence by setting a new course of action. The sooner you begin, the sooner you reclaim your spirit and start laughing again. Go ahead and give me a call right now to set up your free 15-minute consultation. I’m ready to help!

For individuals in therapy I use ACT and REBT both types of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I'll be teaching you a set of skills that'll allow you to handle difficult thoughts and feelings in a more effective way so they don't have as much impact over you're life. Then we'll look at what's meaningful to you, what type of person you want to be, using then as a guide to set goals and behavior changes.
