Recovering from Narcissistic Abuse

Recovering from narcissistic abuse can feel like slowly piecing yourself back together after years of being chipped away at. In therapy, my role is to provide a safe, steady space where you are no longer gaslit, dismissed, or made to doubt your own reality.

We start by helping you make sense of what happened—naming the manipulation, control, and invalidation you may have experienced. This alone can bring tremendous relief, because many survivors have been told for so long that the problem was them.

From there, therapy helps you reconnect with your sense of self. We work on rebuilding your self-esteem, strengthening boundaries, and learning to trust your perceptions again. It’s about giving you back the voice and inner compass that may have been silenced.

Therapy also provides a place to process the grief—because narcissistic abuse often means not just losing the relationship, but the hope of what it could have been. Together, we can move through that pain so it doesn’t keep you stuck.

Finally, we look toward the future—supporting you in forming healthier relationships, cultivating self-compassion, and feeling safe in your own skin again. Recovery is not about “getting over it” quickly, but about reclaiming your wholeness at your own pace.
