You gave and gave—until you lost yourself. If you’ve experienced a relationship where love felt conditional, where your reality was constantly questioned, and where you were made to feel “too sensitive” or “never enough,” you may be healing from narcissistic abuse. It’s confusing, exhausting, and often invisible to others. You’re not crazy. You’re not overreacting. And you’re not alone. I work with women who are recovering from emotional manipulation, gaslighting, and toxic relationships—helping them rebuild trust in themselves, regulate overwhelming emotions, and set boundaries that last. How therapy can help: * Reclaim your voice and sense of identity * Cope with intense emotions and trauma responses * Recognize red flags and patterns of emotional abuse * Build confidence in boundary-setting and assertiveness * Let go of shame, guilt, and self-blame * Develop practical, lifelong skills for resilience My approach: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) DBT is a powerful, evidence-based therapy designed to help you manage emotions, reduce reactivity, and build a life that aligns with your values. It’s especially effective for people healing from invalidating environments—like narcissistic abuse. Through DBT, you’ll learn skills in: * Emotion Regulation – Understand and manage intense emotional waves * Distress Tolerance – Get through crises without making things worse * Interpersonal Effectiveness – Set boundaries and communicate clearly, without guilt * Mindfulness – Stay grounded in the present, even when memories or emotions hit hard I offer DBT-informed individual therapy in a warm, nonjudgmental space where your experiences are validated and your growth is supported—step by step. You can heal. You can thrive. You can feel like you again. If you're ready to take your life back, I’m here to help you do it with clarity, courage, and compassion.
