About My Clients

Always second guessing your comments and over explaining is exhausting. Not knowing what to expect you walk on eggshells questioning what will happen next? Narcissistic-like behaviors include swinging from being caring and attentive to being irritated, demanding and manipulative. We continue to tell ourselves they will change, as we have invested so much time and energy into the relationship. Now, walking away does not seem like an option or maybe you are "done".

My Background and Approach

I have 24 years of experience working with personality disorders, eating disorders, addictions, family conflict, depression, and anxiety. Maybe like you, my life was in chaos living with a narcissist. I use my experience to help you explore strategies and find coping mechanisms. Often early in life, we receive the message: "You don't matter", "you don't fit in" or "You're not important". These thoughts play out in our lives in unsuspecting ways. Co-parenting can be a nightmare! I aim to assist you in uncovering, discovering, and then discarding your current responses. I utilize EMDR therapy to remove obstacles and treat trauma that helps rewire your thinking. We all have times when we need to ask for help and you don't have to let shame or regret keep you from moving forward. It is never too late to find hope! I am extremely non-judgmental having experienced many "mistakes" in my life, that later proved to be useful in some manner. Together let's help you live your best life!!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe everyone desires to become a more enlightened and evolving human being. As we grow and learn more about ourselves, we can apply this knowledge to use in interacting positively with others. When we live with a difficult parent, sibling, partner, boss, or co-worker we can lose ourselves, feel exhausted, and cannot see our situation clearly or consider alternate options. Restructuring or beginning a new life takes courage, direction, and support. We can discard our old thinking patterns and the stories we tell ourselves, which are often negative and false. My passion is to help others find hope and healing. Together we can uncover the complicated and sometimes frightening thought patterns and reactions that play out in our lives. Learn skills, tools, and strategies that work! Together let's take small (baby steps) to make positive changes which will have big benefits as you reclaim your power, self-esteem, and confidence.
