Area of Expertise
Victims of NA often have co-morbid mental health disorders including but not limited to depression & anxiety, addictions, chronic illness, binge eating disorder, BPD, body dysmorphia, somatic disorders, and just a whole lot of grief.
Through tailored strategies, individuals can learn to set boundaries, overcome trauma, and rediscover their faith, renewed self-worth and ultimately, wholeness and healing.
Who is your outlet? What is your story? You are not a diagnosis but you likely have a root issue of imperfect love. My desire is to see others live their full or whole life rather than in parts and broken pieces. You're not broken. There is hope. I see many clients who have experienced "narcissistic abuse" among other symptoms. I'm interested in how "emotional abuse" and/or neglect have impacted where you're at today. If you have had a negative experience with another therapist, family member(s) or the church, I would like the chance to free you from your defenses and earn your trust.
If your intake is approved, coaching or professional counseling will commence. Here is where we make sense and process the abuse and eliminate any lingering confusion and bandage any internal wounds within the nourishing context of a safe and calming therapeutic alliance. I also offer guidance on co-parenting especially if children are involved.
