About Me:
I have a passion for working with people who have a hard time seeing their own value, are dealing with anxiety, self-esteem, or relationships with antagonistic, selfish, immature and/or narcissistic people. It started for me, even as a child, long before I knew anything about the word narcissism. But I knew I was seeing hurtful behaviors by family and others. I just didn’t know why. Or how to change the situation.
Because of that, I have many years of experience with people who have been dealing with selfish, emotionally immature, toxic, and/or verbally abusive parents or partners. This is sometimes referred to as Narcissistic Victim Abuse or just Narcissistic Abuse. It takes a huge toll on the body, the mind, the emotions and the heart.
It can be very isolating being in a relationship with a narcissist. Sometimes we’re afraid no one will believe what we’re experiencing. Sometimes we feel that if we just try hard enough, do more, be more perfect - that will fix everything.
Often people in this situation will be exhausted from trying to make it work. But they feel like “no matter what I do, I can’t win!”
If you have a history of feeling you aren’t enough, don’t deserve kindness, can’t ask for help, maybe it’s time to talk about it.
Because you ARE enough. You always were!

DO NOT leave Emergency messages on the phone or elsewhere, as the phone, email and text are not monitored outside of business hours.
If you are having an emergency, call 911, your local emergency services number or go to the nearest emergency facility or hospital.
DO NOT wait for a response from me. I am a solo owner so I do not provide contact monitoring services.
