About My Clients

If you grew up with a narcissistic or borderline personality disordered parent, you know the unbelievable impact it has in many facets of your life. As a therapist who specializes in narcissistic and borderline abuse, I understand how exhausting and confusing it can be can be to live in a world of control and manipulation. It leaves you questioning yourself at ever turn and forgetting how to trust your gut. Let's unravel this confusion and begin to heal yourself and live a more fulfilling life.

My Background and Approach

My style is warm and gentle, yet honest, and I use my sense of humor when appropriate. Please know you do not have to figure this out alone. Healing is absolutely possible, and you deserve to feel safe, strong, and like your authentic self. In our work together, I’ll help you rebuild your confidence and rediscover who you really are; work through your pain, doubt, and feelings of grief; learn to set solid boundaries and spot red flags; break free from old patterns so you can have healthier relationships and the life that you deserve.
