Narcissistic Abuse Recovery in Concord,NC
Online Therapy throughout North Carolina
Experiencing harm from people with narcissistic traits can lead to feeling confused, disconnected, hurt, and isolated. But learning how to walk away can be equally as confusing and difficult. I empower my clients to reclaim their strength, courage, and self-love while identifying actionable steps forward to a clearer, happier life on their own terms.
Is narcissistic abuse therapy right for you?
You’re finally home from work and putting up your feet to relax. Then you hear it. A car door slams shut. Your heart jumps. You hold your breath. You panic and feel like you are a little child about to get in trouble but you don’t know why. The keys jingle in the front door, and your whole body braces for impact.
It can be disorienting to feel panicked or scared of someone you love. It feels wrong and confusing. “I love this person, and they love me. So why do I feel this way? What is wrong with me? Sure, we have some hard times but doesn’t everyone?”
Do you ever feel like when it’s good, it’s really good? But when it’s bad, it’s really bad? Do you pressure yourself to try harder and be a better person so someone else will treat you better? Isn’t that normal?
How do I know if I have experienced narcissistic abuse?
People with narcissistic traits tend to create a cycle of good and bad to make you feel confused. They push you in the water then expect gratitude for the towel they give you when you pull yourself out. This creates that unstable feeling where you never know what to expect.
Relationships are complex, but they should never leave you feeling confused, panicked, or belittled. Whether they are a partner, friend, parent, or boss, these confusing and hurtful interactions cause damage not only in the relationship but in your overall health and wellbeing.
Over time, this leads to losing your identity piece by piece, fear of abandonment, memory loss, depression, anxiety, inability to focus, and even physical issues like IBS, chronic fatigue, or insomnia.
How therapy for narcissistic abuse can help you!
You never have to stay anywhere that causes you pain. But stepping away can be the most difficult thing you ever do. And the healing? That takes courage many struggle to find. But you don’t have to do it alone. I am here for you!
Experiencing narcissistic abuse is uniquely different from other forms of abuse and can only be fully understood by those who have been through it. I have. And I want to provide you with the validation, safety, and understanding you deserve.
I will also support you in learning how to protect yourself, creating a plan to safely navigate that relationship, making sense of the confusion, healing from the damage, and learning to love and trust yourself again.

When beginning therapy, weekly 60-minute sessions are most effective. This helps create consistency, accountability, and the ability to best measure progress. Many clients find this helpful for the first 3-6 months. Once you feel confident in your progress, sessions are typically reduced to every other week. The timeline looks different for everyone, and we will collaborate together on ensuring your therapy is most effective for you.

Clients are able to schedule sessions via their own client portal. You can schedule week to week or a few weeks out. If you prefer meeting at the same day/time every week, I can block that time for you as long as you show up for your sessions. We can also discuss different scheduling options during our consultation call.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellations and re-scheduled sessions will be subject to a full charge if not received at least 24 hours in advance. This is necessary because a time commitment is made to you and is held exclusively for you. If you are late for a session, you may lose some of that session time. If you are able to reschedule within the same week, the late cancellation fee will be dropped.
