Areas of Focus

Maternal and Paternal Wounds

Support for healing the lasting effects of growing up with a narcissistic, emotionally immature, unavailable, controlling, or harmful mother or father. This work can help you understand family patterns, rebuild self-trust, strengthen boundaries, and develop a sense of identity that is no longer defined by your childhood experiences.

Narcissistic Abuse & Toxic Relationships

Support for recognizing manipulation, gaslighting, unhealthy relationship patterns, rebuilding self-trust, and creating stronger boundaries

Black Adults of Narcissistic Parents

 Specialized support centered on the experiences of Black adults navigating parental narcissism, family expectations, identity, boundaries, guilt, and generational patterns.

Separation, Divorce & High-Conflict Relationships

Support when you're questioning a relationship, preparing to leave, separating, divorcing, or navigating the aftermath of a toxic partnership.

Anxiety and Depression

Anxiety and depression can make even the simplest moments feel overwhelming. Through compassionate, evidence-based therapy, you'll gain the tools to manage symptoms and heal from underlying challenges.
