Are You Struggling with the Aftermath of Narcissistic Abuse?
Living under the shadow of narcissistic abuse can leave deep, invisible scars. You might find yourself constantly questioning your worth, feeling isolated, or doubting your perceptions.
In your role as a parent, you may worry about how your experiences affect your children, striving to shield them from similar pain.
At work, you might grapple with self-doubt, fearing that your contributions are undervalued or overlooked. Socially, gatherings that once brought joy now feel daunting, as you battle feelings of inadequacy or fear of judgment.
In romantic relationships, trust becomes a fragile concept, and intimacy may feel overwhelming or unsafe.

My Approach to Narcissistic Abuse Trauma Therapy
At Realms of Life Counseling, I offer evidence-based therapies tailored to meet your specific needs:
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapy that helps reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional intensity. During EMDR sessions, you'll focus on specific memories while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as following my fingers with your eyes or tapping. This process enables the brain to form new associations with these memories, leading to healing and relief.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Therapy teaches you to stay present and respond to your emotions with kindness instead of judgment. By cultivating mindfulness, you can break free from cycles of self-criticism or hopelessness, leading to a calmer, more grounded state of being.
Ego State Therapy
Ego State Therapy explores the different parts of yourself that may be in conflict due to narcissistic abuse. By addressing and healing these parts, you can create a stronger foundation for emotional resilience and self-acceptance, leading to a more integrated sense of self.
What to Expect in Therapy
Embarking on therapy is a courageous step toward healing. In our sessions, we will:
- Explore the root causes of your experiences.
- Develop strategies to manage and reduce symptoms.
- Foster resilience and empower you to reclaim your life.
My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard and understood, facilitating your journey toward healing and well-being.
