Personal Statement
Life doesn’t always turn out the way we thought it would, whether it’s an unexpected life event or a significant person who disappoints us. We can be left feeling confused, betrayed, or even traumatized, and the effects on our life can be multidimensional and profoundly disruptive. I see myself as a recovery guide whether from a dating relationship or a marriage. The goal is always to work toward future choices and decisions that are compassionate to you and that reflect your most authentic self, no matter what your relationship status. Based on both personal and professional experience with narcissistic abuse, I bring a level of depth and authenticity in treating those affected by such relationships, and my clients tend to feel that I “get it.”
