It all starts with a free 20-minute consultation.
Therapy should be personal and private. As an independent provider, I do not bill insurance directly so that they can’t limit your resources with me, but many clients use out-of-network benefits to receive reimbursement. I’ll provide you with everything you need to submit a claim. Click here to learn more about billing.

It Wasn’t All Bad... And That’s What Makes It So Confusing
There were good moments—times when things felt right, even wonderful. They have qualities that drew you in, and now your mind keeps circling back, trying to figure out what went wrong.
You’re constantly asking, “When did everything change?” or maybe even wondering, “If I had done something differently, would things be better now?”
The Highs Were High, But the Lows Were So Low
When things were good, they were amazing. But when conflict arose, it got ugly fast.
You’re left feeling like the bad guy, no matter what. Somehow, everything you do is wrong in their eyes.
Their words cut deep. They were masterful at twisting situations, making you doubt yourself, and making you feel responsible for things that were never your fault.
The Lies, Manipulation, and Betrayal Were Constant
You already know. The manipulation, the control tactics, and the never-ending need to be right. They’d twist every situation to suit their narrative, leaving you doubting everything.
These memories haunt you, they keep you awake at night. You replay those moments, trying to make sense of them, driving yourself crazy with questions.
Now, You Struggle to Trust Your Own Judgment
When you’ve trusted the wrong person, it leaves you questioning your ability to make good decisions. Now, it’s hard to trust others—or even yourself.
You can’t tell if your requests were reasonable, if your boundaries were fair, or if you were justified. Everything has become so confusing, and you’re lost in a maze of self-doubt.
Therapy Gives You a Path Forward
Right now, it might feel like your emotions are running the show—overwhelming, unpredictable, and filled with guilt. Therapy offers a structured way out of the confusion.
Each week, you’ll learn new tools to:
- Understand your past, clarify your needs, and set healthy boundaries.
- Apply these skills in real-life situations, gaining confidence and control.
- Reframe harmful beliefs and replace them with empowering perspectives.
Over time, you’ll feel calm, confident, and free from self-doubt. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to become your own source of strength, creating lasting, meaningful change in your life.

This isn’t just a distant dream—it’s a future that’s entirely within your reach. With the right support and tools, you can reclaim your life and step into a version of yourself that feels strong, empowered, and whole.
Myths About Healing from Narcissistic Abuse
You may have heard things like:
- “You just need to move on and forget about it.”
- “Therapy doesn’t work for wounds this deep.”
- “Only weak people get caught in toxic relationships.”
These myths aren’t just wrong—they’re harmful. They make you doubt your strength and ability to heal.
Here’s the truth:
- Recovery isn’t about “forgetting”—it’s about reclaiming your life with the right tools and compassionate support.
- Therapy works when it’s tailored to your unique experiences, providing practical steps for healing.
- Surviving abuse isn’t about weakness—it’s a testament to your resilience and ability to endure.

FAQ:
What is narcissistic abuse, and how do I know if I’ve experienced it?
Narcissistic abuse is a deeply confusing and painful experience, often involving manipulation, control, and gaslighting. It can leave you:
- Doubting your reality and constantly second-guessing yourself.
- Feeling like nothing you do is ever enough.
- Struggling with shattered self-esteem.
You might catch yourself asking, “Was it really that bad?” or replaying arguments over and over, wondering if you were the one to blame.
If you feel stuck in self-doubt or overwhelmed by emotional pain after a relationship, it’s a sign you’ve been through more than just a rough patch. Therapy can help you untangle these feelings, make sense of your experience, and start the healing process.
How can therapy help me recover from narcissistic abuse?
Therapy provides a safe and structured space to make sense of what happened and rebuild your confidence. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, specifically Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), which has been proven effective for trauma recovery.
CPT is designed to help you:
- Reframe harmful beliefs: Together, we’ll uncover and challenge the negative thoughts left by the abuse, helping you see yourself and your experiences more clearly.
- Manage emotional triggers: You’ll learn practical tools to navigate difficult situations and create healthy emotional boundaries.
- Rebuild your sense of self: Therapy focuses on reconnecting you with your inner strength, self-worth, and ability to trust your own judgment.
This isn’t about reliving the pain—it’s about reshaping how your mind processes those experiences so you can move forward. Through CPT, we’ll follow a step-by-step approach tailored to your needs, giving you the clarity and skills to take back control of your life.
Recovery isn’t just possible—it’s measurable, and I’ll be with you every step of the way.
What if therapy hasn’t worked for me in the past?
If you’ve tried therapy before and felt like it didn’t help, I understand how discouraging that can be. The truth is, not all therapy approaches are the same. My work is grounded in evidence-based practices like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), which are specifically designed to help people recover from trauma and regain control of their lives.
Here’s how it’s different:
- We’ll start by setting clear, achievable goals for your healing journey.
- Progress will be tracked every step of the way, so you’ll see real, measurable change.
- If something isn’t working, we’ll adjust to make sure the process is effective and meaningful for you.
This approach isn’t about venting or guessing—it’s about building skills and making tangible progress. You’re not stuck. Healing is possible, and I’m here to guide you through it.

Do you accept insurance?
Good question. The short answer: No, I don’t work directly with insurance. I’ve chosen to work directly with my clients, and many are happy with this arrangement because it ensures the highest level of privacy and control over their care.
However, if you have Out-of-Network (OON) benefits, I can provide a detailed receipt (called a superbill) for you to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. Every plan is different, so I recommend calling your insurance provider to learn more about your coverage.
Bonus: I also accept HSA and FSA cards, making payment more flexible

What is Out-of-Network coverage?
Many people assume they can only use their insurance for therapy if they see an in-network provider, but that’s not always the case. You may have out-of-network (OON) benefits, which could allow you to get reimbursement for therapy with the provider of your choice. While I don’t bill insurance directly, I provide superbills that you can submit for reimbursement, giving you the flexibility to access specialized care without the limitations of in-network restrictions.
Navigating OON benefits can feel confusing, but understanding your options is the first step toward making informed decisions about your mental health care. To help, I’ve created a free guide that walks you through the basics of OON benefits and how to use them for therapy reimbursement.
