Narcissistic Abuse & Relational Trauma

   A safe, compassionate space

I offer a space where your experiences are taken seriously. You will be believed, understood, and met with care—not judgment.

I support people healing from controlling, manipulative, or emotionally harmful relationships to heal from the trauma of the past and rebuild confidence, boundaries, and a stronger sense of self.

This includes experiences often described as narcissistic abuse, emotionally immature parenting, family scapegoating, and relationships where emotional safety, consistency, or attunement were missing.

Understanding relational and developmental trauma

Relational and developmental trauma happens when important relationships do not provide consistent safety, care, respect, or emotional support.

This can include emotional neglect, criticism, manipulation, control, gaslighting, or experiences where you were made to doubt your own reality.

Sometimes these experiences are obvious. Other times they are subtle but accumulate over time and shape how you see yourself and others.

You may notice self-doubt, difficulty trusting yourself, challenges with boundaries, or a tendency to question whether your needs are valid.

 You may find yourself asking, “Am I the problem? Why do I feel this way?” 

These responses are understandable in the context of what you’ve been through.

Healing and Support

 Healing happens in a relationship that feels safe, steady, and accepting.

In our work, you are not rushed or judged. We take time to understand what you’ve experienced and how it has shaped your sense of self, your emotions, and your relationships.

Together, we gently work to:

• make sense of your patterns in a way that feels validating, not blaming 
• support your nervous system in feeling more settled and less overwhelmed 
• strengthen your ability to trust yourself and your internal signals 
• build boundaries that feel clear, realistic, and self-respecting 
• help you feel more grounded in relationships and in your own experience 

We move at a pace that respects your comfort and readiness at every step.
