Narcissistic Abuse

Recovering from narcissistic abuse from a partner or parent can feel overwhelming. You may feel shame for being conditioned into a certain role. Perhaps you feel more empathy for others than yourself, and struggle maintaining boundaries. Maybe you don't trust your own emotions and are afraid to make mistakes around others.

I provide compassion, knowledge and unconditional acceptance of who you are and where you are in your journey. You do not have to be alone on your journey towards growth. We can work together in the present to find a new path for your future.

Understanding Narcissistic Abuse

Narcissistic abuse is a deeply damaging form of emotional and psychological manipulation that often unfolds slowly and subtly, leaving survivors confused, drained, and unsure of themselves. It can happen in romantic relationships, family dynamics, friendships, or even work settings — and it often involves patterns of gaslighting, blame-shifting, emotional invalidation, control, and intermittent praise or affection.

This type of abuse isn't always obvious, which can make it especially painful. You may have been made to feel like everything was your fault, that your needs were "too much," or that your reality wasn’t valid. Over time, this constant erosion of your self-trust and self-worth can lead to anxiety, depression, chronic self-doubt, and feelings of isolation or shame.

Common Signs of Narcissistic Abuse:

  • Feeling like you’re always “walking on eggshells”

  • Being blamed for things you didn’t do

  • Experiencing gaslighting or having your reality denied

  • Losing confidence in your ability to make decisions

  • Being idealized, then suddenly devalued or discarded

  • Feeling emotionally exhausted, confused, or “not yourself”

  • Struggling to trust others — or your own instincts

You Are Not Alone — And It Wasn’t Your Fault

One of the most painful aspects of narcissistic abuse is the invisibility of the harm — especially when others don’t see what you went through. But your experience is real, and the impact it has had on you matters. Healing from narcissistic abuse involves learning to recognize these patterns, reclaiming your voice, reestablishing boundaries, and rebuilding trust in yourself.

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy provides a safe, validating space where you can begin to untangle the effects of narcissistic abuse. Together, we’ll work to process the emotional pain, identify harmful patterns, and restore your sense of self. I often incorporate EMDR and somatic approaches to help release trauma stored in the body and gently reprocess memories that may still carry emotional weight.
