Providing Trauma Counseling in Woodland Hills and Virtually in CA
You're not crazy. You were abused.
Therapy for healing after a relationship with a narcissist—and rebuilding trust in yourself.
The Challenge
You left the relationship. Or they discarded you. Either way, you're out.
But you don't feel free.
You replay conversations in your head, wondering if maybe you were the problem. You second-guess every decision. You jump when your phone buzzes. You feel like you're constantly walking on eggshells—even though the person isn't there anymore.
The gaslighting, the manipulation, the cycles of idealization and devaluation—they rewired something in you. Your nervous system is stuck in survival mode. You don't trust your own perceptions anymore.
Friends tell you to "just move on." But this isn't something you can just decide to get over. The damage was real. And healing takes more than time.
This Is For You If...
• You were in a relationship with someone who manipulated, gaslit, or emotionally abused you
• You grew up with a narcissistic parent and are still dealing with the effects
• You find yourself questioning your own reality, memory, or worth
• You're hypervigilant—always scanning for threats, always bracing for conflict
• You struggle with boundaries or keep finding yourself in similar relationship patterns
• You feel shame, confusion, or anger that you "let this happen" (even though it wasn't your fault)
• You want to feel like yourself again—whoever that is
How I Can Help
Narcissistic abuse is trauma. It changes your brain and your body. That's why talk therapy alone—while helpful—often isn't enough.
I specialize in approaches that work with your nervous system directly:
EMDR helps your brain reprocess the painful memories—the cruel words, the betrayals, the moments you were made to feel crazy—so they lose their emotional charge.
Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) teaches your nervous system to come back down when it's stuck in hypervigilance. You learn to feel safe again.
We'll also work on rebuilding your sense of self—your boundaries, your intuition, your ability to trust your own perceptions. Because that's what narcissistic abuse takes from you. And you can get it back.
A Note on Validation
If you're wondering whether what you experienced "counts" as abuse—it does.
Abuse doesn't require physical violence. Emotional manipulation, gaslighting, stonewalling, love-bombing followed by devaluation—these are abuse. The confusion you feel is a symptom, not a sign that you're overreacting.
You are not too sensitive. You are not making it up. And you deserve support.
You can heal from this.
It's not about forgetting what happened or pretending it didn't affect you. It's about processing it so you can move forward—on your terms.
Let's start with a 15-minute call. No pressure.
