Fair question.

You aren’t here just for my sparkling wit, pop culture metaphors, and fun personality, after all – you’re here to learn from my 10+ years of experience building a specialty practice centered on the intimate, complex, nuanced, and intricate world of healing from narcissistic abuse. Whether working with individuals, running therapy groups and workshops, writing books or providing continuing education, I have always kept my focus on helping my courageous survivor clients to heal and thrive. Supporting them in healing from complex trauma has been richly rewarding work, and a true labor of love.

As a clinician specializing in complex developmental and relational trauma, I have honed my skills through training in models such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Brainspotting. I stay current on up to the minute research that informs my continuing education programs and consultation. And I am proud to include the Therapist Mentoring Program in my work to increase client access to strong, clinically appropriate, ethical, and comprehensive treatment for survivors of narcissistic abuse.

As the author of two books and a frequently requested speaker and trainer, I had a front row seat to the responses of both clients and clinicians searching for better resources. In conversation after conversation, the feedback was nearly unanimous: there are just not enough narcissism-competent therapists to meet clients’ needs, and there is a thirst for learning and deeper understanding of narcissism within the clinical community.
