Struggling with Narcissistic Abuse?
Narcissistic Abuse
Many therapists may include narcissistic abuse in their areas of treatment, but for me, it’s not just an area of expertise—it’s deeply personal. I not only survived narcissistic abuse but also thrived after it with the right support. Because of this, I offer a unique combination of professional insight and firsthand experience to guide others on their healing journey.

Signs of Narcissistic Abuse in Different Relationships
Intimate Relationships:
Narcissistic abuse shows up as constant belittling, criticism, and gaslighting. You may also be accused of being overly sensitive, having your concerns invalidated, or having the truth distorted to make you question your own perceptions.
Parental Relationships:
Narcissistic abuse from a parent often involves neglecting their child’s emotional needs, excessive control, and demands for perfection. Narcissistic parents may use their children to meet their own needs for validation, often criticize or belittle their child, and manipulate them to seek constant approval.
Sibling Relationships:
In sibling relationships, narcissistic abuse may appear as competitive behavior, jealousy, and undermining actions. This can show up as belittling your achievements or manipulating the family dynamic to maintain superiority.
Friendships:
Narcissistic abuse in friendships can involve exploiting the relationship for personal gain while showing little regard for your feelings or needs. A narcissistic friend may use your time, money, or emotional support, without reciprocating, and might even create unnecessary drama to gain attention or maintain control.
How Therapy Can Help Heal from Narcissistic Abuse
Therapy is essential for those recovering from narcissistic abuse, as it helps individuals process the trauma and rebuild a stronger sense of self.
Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to navigate the emotional wounds caused by manipulation, rebuild self-esteem, and develop healthier boundaries, ultimately empowering individuals to break free from the cycle of narcissistic abuse and move forward with confidence.
