.
I specialize in helping women break free from narcissistic relationships, heal anxious attachment, and build the secure, healthy love they deserve.
I Help Individuals With:
Healing from Narcissistic Abuse Gaslighting left you questioning your reality. Emotional manipulation made you feel crazy. You're done walking on eggshells and ready to rebuild your life and self-worth.
Breaking Anxious Attachment Patterns You overthink every text, need constant reassurance, and fear abandonment. You're tired of feeling "too much" and want to feel secure in relationships.
Recovering from Toxic Relationships You keep attracting emotionally unavailable or controlling partners. You're ready to understand why and break the cycle for good.
Overcoming Dating Burnout You're exhausted from dating apps, ghosting, and disappointment. You want to approach dating with hope instead of dread.
Rebuilding After a Difficult Breakup Whether you left or were left, you're grieving and need support to heal and move forward without losing yourself.
Setting Boundaries & Prioritizing Yourself You've lost yourself in relationships, always putting others first. You're ready to learn how to set boundaries without guilt.
Healing from Narcissistic Abuse
If you've been in a relationship with a narcissist, you know the unique kind of pain it causes. The confusion. The self-doubt. The feeling like you're going crazy.
One moment they're loving and attentive (love bombing), the next you're walking on eggshells, trying desperately not to trigger their anger or withdrawal. They gaslight you until you question your own reality. They twist your words, make you feel like you're the problem, and leave you wondering how someone who claimed to love you could be so cruel.
Maybe you've left the relationship but still feel the effects: hypervigilance, difficulty trusting yourself or others, shame about what you "let happen." Or maybe you're still in it, trying to figure out if what you're experiencing is actually abuse or if you're just "too sensitive" like they say.
You're not too sensitive. You're not crazy. And it's not your fault.
Narcissistic abuse is a specific type of emotional and psychological manipulation designed to make you doubt yourself while keeping you tethered to them. It works because narcissists are skilled at finding people who are empathetic, compassionate, and willing to see the best in others. In other words, good people.​​
In therapy, we'll work on:
Recognizing the Pattern Understanding the cycle of idealization, devaluation, and discard. Identifying gaslighting, triangulation, projection, and other manipulation tactics so you can see clearly what happened.
​
Breaking the Trauma Bond That pull you feel toward them, even knowing how they hurt you, isn't love. It's a trauma bond created by intermittent reinforcement. We'll work on breaking this attachment so you can truly move forward.
​
Healing Your Sense of Self Narcissistic abuse systematically tears down your self-worth, boundaries, and trust in your own perceptions. We'll rebuild what was taken from you, your confidence, your voice, your ability to trust yourself.
​
Understanding Why You Were Targeted This wasn't random. Narcissists seek out specific qualities, empathy, compassion, achievement, independence. We'll explore what made you vulnerable so you can protect yourself without losing the beautiful qualities that make you who you are.
​
Recognizing Red Flags Early You'll learn to spot narcissistic traits early in dating, before you're emotionally invested. Love bombing, lack of empathy, boundary violations, inconsistency, blame-shifting. You'll trust your gut when something feels off.
​​
Reclaiming Your Life Recovery isn't just about healing from what happened, it's about building the life you deserve. Setting boundaries, choosing emotionally available partners, believing you're worthy of real, reciprocal love.
You may be feeling lost right now—stuck in the cycle of anxiety, burned out from dating apps, or weighed down by the fear of being left.
Every swipe, every text left on read, every “we need to talk” is like another brick added to the wall between you and the love you deserve. You might feel like giving up, wondering, “Why does this keep happening to me?”
Maybe you’ve started telling yourself that love is just not in the cards for you. I've seen this before, and let me tell you: you’re not alone in feeling this way, even if it seems like everyone else has it all figured out.
​​
Breaking Free from the Cycle of Fear and Exhaustion
It’s hard to imagine trusting someone—or yourself—again. But somewhere inside, you know that giving up isn’t really what you want. Deep down, you want to feel hope when you open your phone, excitement when you go on a date, and a sense of calm in your relationships and friendships instead of waiting for the other shoe to drop.
It takes time, patience, and support to untangle the fear and fatigue from the joy and connection you’re longing for.
​
A New Path Forward
I'm not here to promise a quick fix. Therapy isn’t about changing who you are or pretending the hard times never happened. It’s about helping you understand your patterns, heal from past hurt, and approach love with clarity and self-assurance.
As a therapist who has helped many others rekindle hope and rediscover joy in their love lives, I’m here to tell you: you can have this too. You can learn to trust, set boundaries, and be open to love without losing yourself. Take a deep breath. You don’t have to navigate this alone anymore. Let’s take the first step together.
Find Confidence in Love and Yourself Again
Breaking Toxic Patterns
Why Do I Keep Choosing the Same Type of Person?
If you've noticed you keep ending up with the same type of partner, emotionally unavailable, controlling, dismissive, or narcissistic, you're not alone, and you're not broken.
These patterns often stem from early attachment wounds, unhealed trauma, or unconscious beliefs about what you deserve in relationships. Maybe you're drawn to what feels familiar, even if it's unhealthy. Maybe you mistake intensity for intimacy, or chaos for passion.
​
Together, we'll:
​
-
Identify the patterns you're repeating and understand whyExplore what you're unconsciously seeking in relationships
-
Heal the wounds driving you toward unavailable or harmful partners
-
Build new, healthier relationship templates
-
Learn to recognize green flags, not just red ones.
-
Trust that you deserve secure, reciprocal love
​You don't have to keep reliving the same story. We can rewrite it together.
When it comes to relationship anxiety and dating burnout, my approach is rooted in empathy, understanding, and collaboration. I know that your experiences have shaped how you see yourself and your relationships, and I want to honor that. Together, we’ll explore the fears, frustrations, and heartbreaks that are weighing you down, but we’ll also uncover the strength and resilience you might not even realize you have.
I believe healing begins with creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can process your feelings and start to challenge the stories you’ve been telling yourself—stories about unworthiness, failure, or fear. My goal is to help you rewrite those narratives with kindness and compassion, so you can embrace a healthier perspective on love and connection.
Through tailored techniques like mindfulness, communication skills, boundary setting, and exploring your attachment patterns, we’ll build a toolkit that empowers you to navigate relationships with confidence and authenticity. My role is not to change who you are but to help you discover how to show up as your full, unapologetic self in your relationships—without fear of rejection or burnout. Together, we’ll work toward a future where love feels less like a battlefield and more like a place of peace.
My Approach to Relationship Anxiety, Break Ups, and Dating Burnout
What to Expect from Individual Therapy?
If you've never been to therapy before, you might be wondering what actually happens in sessions.
​
In our first session, we'll talk about what brought you in, what you're hoping to change, and what's been happening in your relationships. I'll ask questions to understand your history, your patterns, and what you need.
From there, we'll work on the issues that matter most to you, whether that's healing from narcissistic abuse, breaking anxious attachment patterns, or understanding why you keep choosing the wrong partners. This is your space to process, heal, and grow.
Sessions are 50 minutes, and most clients come weekly or bi-weekly. Some people see significant shifts in 2-3 months, while others work with me for 6-12 months depending on what they're healing from.
The goal isn't to stay in therapy forever, it's to give you the tools, understanding, and healing you need to build the life and relationships you deserve.
Common Questions About Individual Therapy

If you're single, recently out of a relationship, or working on your own patterns—individual therapy is right for you. If you're currently in a relationship and want to work on it together, couples therapy is better.
How long does therapy take?
It varies. Some clients see significant progress in 2-3 months, others work with me for 6-12 months depending on what they're healing from. We'll check in regularly about your goals and progress.
Will I ever be able to trust again after narcissistic abuse?
Yes. Healing takes time, but you can absolutely rebuild trust in yourself and others. That's exactly what we'll work on together.
Can I do therapy online?
Yes! I offer telehealth throughout Florida, which means you can do sessions from the comfort of your home.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, I accept most major insurance plans through Alma, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and UnitedHealthcare. I also offer private pay rates of $150-175 per session.
