Bio
I wholeheartedly believe that increasing your awareness is key to managing emotions, thinking more clearly, and acting from a place of intention rather than impulse. During our sessions we will discuss what you have been going through, and bring awareness to what you are feeling around the situation to help you gain clarity. This will help you develop deeper sense of understanding of yourself and the situation you are in. I take a holistic approach to my practice and always address my client's physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs in sessions.
My own mental health journey led me to therapy and it changed my life. The therapists I saw when I was struggling are the ones who inspired me to go back to school and help others like you on their journeys. I became a licensed therapist to help others find peace and healing.

Avoid Getting into Another Relationship with a Narcissist
If you have ever been in some sort of relationship with a narcissist, you know that in the beginning they were charming, attentive, kind, and seemed like a generally good person. Maybe they showered you with gifts, listened to you, and acted like the partner, boss, or friend you always wanted.
It's when they know they have you under their control is when they flip and turn into a monster. Getting out of this dynamic is so draining, can cause mental health problems, and make you feel crazy. Once you get out, the last thing you want to do is get into ANOTHER relationship with a narcissist.
If we know even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light, we know the narcissist will also disguise themself as a "good" person. They won't show their true colors until you are trapped. This is a part of their manipulation tactic so they can use you as a source of supply.
Here are some warning signs you may be dealing with a narcissistic person:
They are over the top affectionate or over friendly at first. They may pressure you to move in with you, go on a trip, or start working for you more quickly than you want to.
They project how they act onto you
They don't seem to have boundaries and they do not like it when you have boundaries either
When you tell them they hurt you, they turn it around and make themselves the victim, blaming you
They have no empathy
They with hold affection as the relationship progresses
They are attention seeking
They make you second guess yourself
They are extremely self absorbed
They get jealous when others get attention or credit
They manipulate and play games
Listen to your gut if something feels off about someone. Do not brush aside that little nagging feeling that something is off. You have some experience under your belt now - tap in to your inner wisdom, use your discernment, and be cautious. Good luck!
