You’re successful on the outside but secretly exhausted from trying to hold it all together. If you’ve been in a relationship with a narcissistic partner, parent, or boss, and still feel stuck in shame, self-doubt, or trauma bonds — I specialize in helping high-achieving women heal, reclaim their power, and finally feel free. You may be experiencing anxiety, guilt, emotional flashbacks, difficulty trusting yourself, or trouble staying No Contact. You might be high-functioning, but internally feel like you're constantly walking on eggshells — even after the relationship ends.
Narcissistic abuse isn’t just a relationship issue — it leaves behind invisible wounds. I’m a certified narcissistic abuse recovery clinician and EMDR therapist. My work is deep trauma healing, practical boundary. and nervous system repair. I offer a 6-week private-pay intensive designed to help you detach emotionally, rebuild self-trust, and process wounds
This is not the traditional therapy that often goes unsuccessful. My approach is warm, structured, and results-oriented. Sessions are held via secure telehealth, and this intensive is ideal for women ready to stop surviving and start thriving. If you’re tired of repeating the cycle and want targeted, expert support, I invite you to schedule a consultation.
