My Approach to Helping
The Truth About Narcissistic Abuse:
Are you going through a breakup with a narcissistic personality and you feel confused because you’ve been lied to, gaslit and manipulated for years?
Do you love a narcissistic partner or parent and they’re hurting you and you don’t know how to navigate this?
Are you constantly walking on eggshells or hypervigilant in your relationship or with a parent you feel unsafe with?
Do you feel emotionally exhausted by putting your relationships or work first and you lose yourself?
Do you struggle with never feeling good enough, perfectionism, constant self-doubt and people-pleasing?
Do you feel helpless and lack true confidence in your life?
Struggle with constant fantasizing, feeling like a victim and highly defensive, resentful and passive-aggressive in relationships?
Have you lost your voice or feel stifled in what you genuinely want to express to others, or do you feel confused about who you are and your purpose?
There is nothing wrong with you, you’ve just been conditioned to survive narcissistic abuse, abandoned yourself, pleased others for approval and given your power away. You’ve bought into the control and manipulation and you believed the shame and blame they put on you for years. I’m sorry you went through or are going through this.
You deserve to feel safe in your body, self-assured, and confident enough to express your true voice. You get to reclaim your soul, voice and power. I can help you heal and recover from years of narcissistic abuse, whether you’re going through a breakup, or you’re still in the relationship and want to learn how to navigate better.
I specialize in helping people recover from narcissistic abuse, codependency and complex trauma, while also addressing chronic health issues that come with emotional stress

Why Most Therapy Doesn’t Work for Narcissistic Abuse, BPD & Codependency.
If you’ve seen many other therapists before and tried various holistic modalities and traditional psychotherapy but feel like something is missing, YOU’RE NOT ALONE. Complex trauma lives in the intergenerational wounds, soul and nervous system.
This means:
Talk therapy alone isn’t enough – getting your feelings validated without clear direction will have you stay in therapy for years without much progress
- You need a specialist who has lived experience and truly understands narcissism, BPD and codependency
- You need a healing approach that includes relationaldynamics awareness, embodiment and somatic-based therapy so that the relational trauma wounds that live in your body can be freed
- You need a healing approach that is also spiritually and soul-aligned. We are spiritual beings, having a human experience. Coming back home to your soul is the path
This is exactly what I do:
With 12+ years of experience, I’ve helped clients:
- Reclaim their voice, power, identity and self-worth
- Break free from toxic relationship patterns and manage triggers in stressful relationships
- Improve andor completely restore gut and autoimmune health issues triggered by chronic stress
Feel emotionally seen and heard at the soul level, sometimes for the first time
What It Looks Like to Wake Up and Be Your True Self:
More rested in your body and trusting in your life and decision-making without second guessing yourself
Greater acceptance within yourself and your relationships
Feeling “good enough” and confident to pursue what you want out of life
Feeling less shame, blame and guilt to choose your soul and take care of your life
Knowing how to manage difficult triggers and managing expectations in relationships
Knowing how to create flexible and healthy boundaries in relationships
Less exhausted, more energy, vitality and health from within
More confident in your true voice, boundaries and decisions
It’s not only 100% possible but a reality that many clients have with the right support, that includes you. Let’s heal together
My Therapy Focus
Therapy to Reclaim Your Soul & Heal for Life:
Complex-trauma-informed, embodied, somatic and soulfully aligned therapy will help you heal your soul, heart, mind and body. Here are some general things we?ll do if it applies to your situation, but it?s unique to you. The most valuable is that I can help you become aware of your relationship blind spots and help you integrate embodied healing.
We discuss your relationships deeply and realistically and target the areas that need healing. Relationship dynamics and patterns are brought to awareness efficiently.
We go through a process of relational therapy in an embodied way so we heal the relationship wounds on all levels, it?s not just discussed on a mental level but it will be processed through your heart and nervous system as needed.
Practical guidance on behavioural and relationship management can accelerate the breaking of patterns to allow the emotional to follow through.
Oftentimes homework or next steps are given to work on between sessions for continued healing beyond session time
It?s not just therapy, it?s total transformation.

On the Fence About Going to Therapy?
Is this going to work for me?
The truth is, unless the therapist is complex trauma-informed and has the personal experience of healing through trauma, and illness and seeing tangible change, it?ll be difficult to understand someone else fully. At the heart, therapy should be a truth your soul and body know. Clients finally get the depth of awareness and embodied wisdom they are yearning for. Unless the therapy hits you relationally through your heart and body, there?s no true progress. The greatest value this therapy can give you is time in accelerating your process by years.
Some people never heal properly because of frequent episodes of dissociation. For example, a woman who has been in a narcissistic abusive relationship has been conditioned to tolerate emotional pain and dismissiveness for so long that she has subconsciously dismissed and continues to dismiss herself without even knowing it. Bypassing and tolerance is how someone copes with a narcissistic personality in a relationship and this level of emotional pain that the person doesn?t let go of becomes hard to bear so the person dissociates or ?checks out.?
Several years can be wasted not targeting root issues and as a consequence, we cycle in negative emotions and negative experiences longer because of shadows or things out of awareness. Many of us spend too long bypassing certain negative emotions and grief that need more attention.
Sometimes defensiveness, victimhood or narcissistic traits disable us from seeing what is real and we live in a state of false perception because of our wounding.
In my personal experience, I wasted a lot of my precious years and resources staying stuck in narcissistic, codependent and borderline wounds. I didn?t have fulfilling or healthy relationships where I truly felt safe. I was also financially struggling due to trauma and addictions and was chronically ill for years.
I also struggled with my own entrepreneurial career for many years, cycling in toxic patterns in business. Work codependency shows up as constant stress, overwork, and lack of boundaries with work.
Clients end up saving time and making proper investments in their lives with less stress or making decisions that lead to more financial wealth. A larger result of healing narcissistic abuse is healing our financial insecurity and attachment due to the shame and anxiety we feel projected onto these areas of our lives we?re relating to.
You will not be emotionally venting without guidance, direction or a sense of progress. We avoid the inefficient style of you sharing with me, and me only validating your feelings in circles for years without resolve ?you can easily do that with a friend or basic talk therapy instead. I?m here to give you a trauma-informed and embodied perspective and help you reclaim your sense of self and sovereignty. We work on your deepest relationships, and acknowledge, express and validate every part of you, for your wholeness and authenticity to come to life.
Your true self awaits you.

How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist
Approach
I am a holistic masters-prepared registered nurse, with certified training in gestalt methodology and applied mindfulness. I am also certified in therapeutic touch, reiki and yoga. However, I believe my lived experience of healing from complex traumas and chronic illness is the wisdom that strongly informs my professional practice. I practice counselling mostly in North America and live in Toronto, Canada, and have provided therapeutic coaching to clients in California, Miami, UK, Sweden and other parts of Europe and India.
My healing practice with clients has evolved since 2015 from teaching others embodied emotional healing for resolving trauma and chronic health issues, and while this is extremely important, I have evolved my practice to also focusing on the roots of the problems at the embodied relationship level which accelerates the emotional processing time. We can cycle through negative emotions much longer than necessary when we haven?t healed the core of the relationship problems or addressed our disowned parts or shadow psyche.
Through relationship-based therapy, a body-and-client-centred approach and faith counselling, I help you get in touch with the core of your situation or relationship issue and the emotions you feel when certain dynamics, traumas or fears arise. I help you see your major ?relationship blind spots? or what Carl Jung calls the shadow in our unconscious. If you already know what they are, then I help you face them in relationship dynamics in techniques like psychodrama, empowering your authentic voice and expression, developing boundaries, and supporting you to approve, acknowledge and validate yourself in those dynamics. We also will cultivate an awareness of attachment styles, trauma bonding and coping patterns that no longer serve you. I also will guide you into what to expect as you?re healing, some next steps (homesoul work) during off-session time and build an unshakeable faith in the process of unravelling into your true self.
Together, we create a safe and transformative space in the relational healing of your voice, boundaries, power and decisions at the embodied level. Because if you have your true voice from the soul, a connection to God, healed boundaries and autonomous decisions ? the relationships in your life can heal, and you can make autonomous decisions and take courageous soul-driven action to create the life of your dreams.
