for narcissistic abuse recovery
In person in Los Gatos, California
You’ve Spent Enough Time Making Others Comfortable. Now It’s Your Turn.
Do you constantly second-guess yourself or feel guilty for setting boundaries?
Have you felt emotionally drained or small around certain people—yet unsure why?
Do you find yourself putting others’ needs first, even when it costs you your own well-being?
Living with or recovering from narcissistic abuse often leaves deep emotional wounds—even long after the relationship ends. If you've been in a toxic relationship marked by gaslighting, control, manipulation, or chronic invalidation, you may now struggle with self-doubt, boundary issues, anxiety, or perfectionism. Many high-functioning adults—especially women—develop people-pleasing behaviors as a survival strategy, often rooted in childhood trauma or attachment wounds.
Through trauma-informed therapy and Brainspotting we work gently to uncover the root of these patterns. In this space, you can begin to trust yourself again, set healthy boundaries, and reconnect with your authentic identity. You don’t have to keep living in fear of being "too much" or "not enough." Healing is possible—and you’re not alone.
Explore Your Experience
Being in a relationship with a narcissist—whether a parent, partner, boss, or friend—can distort your sense of reality. Many clients come to therapy wondering if what they experienced “was really that bad.” In this space, there’s no minimizing or invalidating your pain. We’ll unpack how emotional manipulation, gaslighting, and toxic dynamics have shaped your beliefs about yourself. This isn’t about blame—it’s about truth, clarity, and compassionate reflection.
Identify the Root Cause
People-pleasing, perfectionism, and chronic guilt don’t come from nowhere—they’re protective behaviors developed in unsafe or invalidating environments. Together, we’ll trace these patterns back to their origins, often rooted in early attachment trauma, emotional neglect, or relational abuse. By understanding where and why these patterns began, we create space to gently shift them and build new ways of being that are rooted in your values and self-worth.
Uncover What Matters to You
You deserve to know who you are outside of someone else’s control. As you heal, you’ll reconnect with your voice, values, and vision for your life—reclaiming your time, energy, and sense of self.
Once you’ve lived for so long trying to meet others’ expectations, it’s easy to lose touch with your own voice. Healing invites you back into alignment—with your needs, your boundaries, and your truth. You’ll begin to uncover who you are beneath the conditioning—someone worthy of love, respect, and authenticity— leading to more meaningful relationships and a more peaceful relationship with yourself.
