Narcissistic Abuse Recovery/Psychological Abuse

You feel completely and utterly alone. You keep wondering, “What is wrong with me?” “Am I losing my mind?” “Am I crazy?” “Why can't I get it right?” “When will I ever be good enough?” You are likely the victim of psychological abuse. Not the cuts and bruises that can be seen, but instead the hidden abuse that causes psychological injuries that shatter your emotions, self-esteem and wound your soul. Maybe you grew up with a toxic parent, are involved with a narcissistic significant other, or are constantly dealing with a toxic friend or coworkers.

Fortunately in recent years there has been significant research on the impact of psychological abuse, narcissistic abuse syndrome, and growing information related to treatment for survivors. While I see clients for a variety of issues, I have spent considerable time educating myself about this type of abuse and specialize in this treatment.

Professionals (Men and Women)

You’re an overachiever, dependable, and accomplished to everyone who knows you, but on the inside you never feel good enough and the voice in your head is quick to remind you of it.

You've been trying to keep it together for a long time, but you're totally stressed and on the verge of complete burnout.

You want to be less anxious, to be able to calm your perfectionist tendencies, to relax and enjoy the life you’ve worked so hard for, and to finally learn how to put yourself first without feeling guilty or selfish. You want to find a work/life balance that works for you.

Mothers of Special Needs Children

Sometime after birth you notice “something” is not right with your child. You reach out to medical professionals, but they cannot find anything wrong. You feel no one believes you because you are "just a Mom".

You begin to make critical decisions about treatment choices for your child. You make the best choices you can with the information you have, but fear others will critically judge your decisions. You're even questioning yourself.

You are keeping it all together on the outside, but you're exhausted from trying to be stronger than you feel. You are trying to figure out what this experience means, how to incorporate it all into who you are, and you feel desperately isolated and alone.
