Understanding Narcissistic Abuse

Narcissistic abuse is a form of psychological manipulation where an individual—often with narcissistic traits—uses tactics such as gaslighting, belittling, emotional control, and intermittent reinforcement to exert power over their partner. Survivors often experience:

  • Confusion and self-doubt due to emotional manipulation.

  • Loss of identity and self-worth from repeated invalidation.

  • Anxiety, depression, and PTSD as a result of prolonged emotional distress.

Healing from narcissistic abuse requires recognition, boundary-setting, and trauma recovery. My therapy approach helps clients process their experiences, regain confidence, and develop strategies to break free from toxic cycles.

I specialize in helping individuals heal from narcissistic abuse and toxic relationship dynamics. Whether you’ve experienced manipulation, emotional neglect, or betrayal, my approach is designed to empower survivors, rebuild self-worth, and foster healthy connections.
