Counseling & Therapy for Narcissistic Abuse
Reclaim Your Voice, Rebuild Your Self-Esteem, and Break Free from Narcissistic Relationships
Whether you’re in the midst of a toxic relationship with a narcissistic partner, are struggling with a narcissist at work, or are still feeling the deep emotional wounds left by a narcissistic parent – you’re likely feeling lost, emotionally drained, and unsure of where to turn.
I get it.
And I’m here to let you know the pain you’re experiencing is real – even if it seems invisible to those around you.
I know what it feels like to constantly walk on eggshells – to always worry about upsetting the narcissist in your life and do everything possible to avoid conflict or criticism.
I know what it feels like to lose yourself in the relationship with a narcissist – to question your own reality, wonder if you’re overreacting, being too sensitive, or even imagining things … especially if you’ve been told that by the person hurting you.
You might be living in a constant state of anxiety, always bracing for the next outburst, withdrawal, or manipulative twist. Or perhaps you’ve left the relationship, but the emotional aftershocks haven’t stopped.
Being in any kind of relationship with a narcissist is often a deeply isolating and overwhelming experience, where emotional manipulation, gaslighting, and control leave you feeling powerless and unsure of yourself. And whether this dynamic began in childhood with a narcissistic parent or emerged in adulthood through a romantic or professional relationship, the damage can run deep.
So, if you find yourself second-guessing practically everything as you wonder …
Where do I go from here?
Is there any way to salvage my relationship?
How can I depend solely on myself when I feel so full of self-doubt?
How can I overcome my fear of going “no contact” and being alone?
Will I ever be able to trust anyone again, including myself?
Know that you’re FAR from alone … and help is available.
Healing is possible. You can connect with your true self, finally break free from narcissistic abuse and toxic relationships, and reclaim your voice, restore your sense of self-esteem, and create the relationships and life you desire and deserve.
I’ve helped thousands of people do precisely this through my books, workshops, and courses, and it’s what the coaching, counseling, and psychotherapy services I provide are all about!
How Therapy for Narcissistic Abuse Can Help
The journey to healing from narcissistic abuse begins with one powerful truth: you are not the problem.
This type of abuse often operates in the shadows – it’s subtle, manipulative, and chronic – making it difficult to recognize, let alone name. But once you do, the path to reclaiming your life begins.
Narcissists have an exaggerated sense of self-importance and require constant admiration and attention from others. They often lack empathy and have little regard for the feelings or needs of others, making it extremely difficult for anyone in a relationship with them to communicate their own needs and feelings.
That’s not to say you haven’t been affected or changed by the relationship – abuse conditions us to survive, and sometimes that means adapting in ways that no longer serve us. But make no mistake: if you’re in any kind of a relationship with a narcissist, you’re the victim, not the abuser. You are not to blame.
Accordingly, the first step in your healing is to recognize and name the abuse for what it is. And the second step is to remove yourself from the role of the victim.
Counseling and psychotherapy offer a safe, nonjudgmental space in which you can begin untangling the confusion, grief, and pain that narcissistic abuse creates.
In therapy, we’ll work together to help you:
- Understand and Validate Your Experience – Learn to recognize the patterns of narcissistic behavior – from love bombing, to gaslighting, and hoovering – and begin to trust your perception again.
- Set and Maintain Healthy Boundaries – Start saying “no” without guilt, assert your needs, and protect your emotional well-being.
- Release Guilt and Shame – Recognize, cope with, and emotionally separate from the abusive dynamic and reclaim your inner peace.
- Heal Inner Child Wounds – Soothe the younger parts of yourself who were never protected, and offer them the compassion they always needed.
- Rebuild Your Identity and Self-Worth – Gently recover the parts of yourself that have been diminished, silenced, or forgotten, and reconnect with your values, confidence, and sense of purpose.
- Create Safe, Healthy, Authentic Relationships – Recognize red flags, break old patterns, and form connections based on mutual respect and love.
As a licensed psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience, I specialize in helping people recover from narcissistic abuse, codependency, and toxic relationship dynamics.
I know how deeply these experiences can wound the psyche, how hard it is to explain to others, and how brave it is of you to reach out for help.
My therapeutic approach is warm, client-centered, and trauma-informed, and I draw on a wide variety of therapeutic orientations and techniques – including both conventional and alternative approaches, such as Mindfulness Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS Therapy), Somatic Experiencing, and Polyvagal Therapy – to help you stay calm, grounded and centered as you explore your unique story and navigate your healing journey.
In addition to therapy, I also offer coaching services that provide structure, accountability, and practical strategies for navigating life after narcissistic abuse, whether you’re co-parenting with a narcissist, dating again, or building boundaries in other areas of your life.

My work is deeply personal as well as professional. I’ve sat in the pain, confusion, and heartbreak that comes from loving someone who repeatedly hurts you – and I’ve done the work to heal and grow stronger on the other side.
