Let’s Find The Peace You Deserve
Therapy for survivors of narcissistic relationships and trauma.
Narcissists create deeply painful experiences that leave us feeling alone, misunderstood, and worthless. Healing from this is possible with the help of a trauma-informed therapist. I offer EMDR & IFS to help my clients feel relief from the past and hope for a better future.
Accepting clients in Massachusetts.
Is there someone you know who needs to be the center of attention?
Do you find yourself sacrificing your desires for this relationship?
Are you tired of losing family & friends to this relationship?
You deserve a therapist who gets it.
If you know someone who is entitled, has an excessive need for admiration, and lacks empathy, you may be dealing with a narcissist. My clients commonly describe, “I’m always cleaning up after his messes in social situations” and “I wish I could just end the relationship, but she’s my mom.” They feel obligated to make it work, despite feeling resentful about the narcissist’s selfish and controlling behavior. They have often tolerated disrespect for so long that they have trouble identifying mistreatment. Most have attempted to set boundaries with little success and many have gone to a therapist who didn’t understand or invalidated these issues.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
Meeting with a therapist who specializes in narcissistic abuse is essential to navigating these traumatic relationships. People suffer for years wondering whether their concerns are valid, struggling to ask for help, and maintaining these relationships for fear of the consequences if they leave. Using trauma-informed approaches, including EMDR and IFS, I help clients heal from the disturbing effects of these relationships. I teach clients to understand the root issues that got them stuck here and how to prevent this happening in the future. If you’re ready to take back control of your life, I invite you to take your first steps towards healing!

EMDR
EMDR is a guided form of trauma therapy that allows for a deeper and faster healing process than talk therapy. EMDR offers grounding skills to help you re-center when you feel dysregulated. It also helps us process through disturbing memories, present stressors, and future worries in a gentle way that creates relief from the distress. EMDR clients often tell me, “I feel like myself again.”

IFS
IFS is a meditative form of therapy with two main theories: We each are made up of several “parts” and there are no bad parts. Has someone asked you to coffee and part of you wanted to go, but part of you didn’t? Neither of these parts is right or wrong! IFS allows us to explore each of our parts in this non-judgmental way and heal parts of ourselves that have been hurt in the past.
