Online Psychotherapy | Ontario & Canada
I know… you know, something isn’t right.
Whether it’s your partner, a family member, a friend, or a boss/colleague, something about the relationship has left you questioning yourself.
You’ve read the books, watched the videos, and listened to the podcasts about narcissists, narcissistic abuse, gaslighting, trauma bonding, coercive control, emotional abuse, psychological abuse, and emotional manipulation.
And yet…
You still replay the conversations.
You question your memory.
You wonder if you’re overreacting.
You find yourself overthinking it all.
You feel anxious, emotionally exhausted, confused, depleted, and increasingly disconnected from yourself.
You quietly ask yourself, “Is this really happening?”
Take a deep breath…
These are all common responses to narcissistic abuse, relational trauma, and prolonged emotional abuse.
A consultation can help you sort out what’s happening.

Frequently Asked Questions About Narcissistic Abuse Therapy
How do I find a therapist who specializes in narcissistic abuse?
Look for a Registered Psychotherapist or licensed mental health professional with specialized experience in narcissistic abuse recovery and complex relational trauma. Ask how they treat the effects of gaslighting, emotional manipulation, trauma bonding and coercive control.
My practice has focused exclusively on narcissistic abuse recovery since 2014, with more than 10,000 direct clinical hours. I provide individualized, trauma-focused psychotherapy, incorporating Brainspotting and EMDR when clinically appropriate.

Is narcissistic abuse therapy worth the investment?
Specialized narcissistic abuse therapy can be a worthwhile investment when chronic self-doubt, overthinking, emotional exhaustion or difficulty with boundaries are affecting your relationships, work and peace of mind.
Through The Structured Recovery Protocol™, we establish clear priorities for your recovery. Our work may include understanding gaslighting and trauma bonding, strengthening emotional regulation, rebuilding self-trust and processing relational trauma.
Your treatment plan and number of sessions depend on your needs, history and circumstances. We review progress together so that therapy remains focused on what matters to you.
Explore my approach to narcissistic abuse recovery
Can Brainspotting help with narcissistic abuse and relational trauma?
Brainspotting is a trauma-focused approach I may incorporate into narcissistic abuse therapy to address unresolved emotional distress and the effects of relational trauma.
You may understand the gaslighting or emotional abuse intellectually yet still feel anxious, overwhelmed or constantly on alert. Brainspotting offers a way to work with emotional and bodily responses that may be difficult to address through conversation alone.
We discuss whether Brainspotting is appropriate for your needs, readiness and treatment goals before beginning.

What are the signs of narcissistic abuse, and where can I get help?
Signs of narcissistic abuse may include repeated gaslighting, emotional manipulation, blame-shifting, coercive control and disregard for your boundaries. You may find yourself walking on eggshells, questioning your memory, feeling emotionally exhausted or taking responsibility for someone else’s behaviour.
These harmful patterns can occur with a partner, parent, sibling, friend or colleague. You do not need the other person to have a diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder to seek help for emotional abuse.
I offer online narcissistic abuse therapy to help you understand your experiences, rebuild self-trust, strengthen boundaries and process relational trauma. You can begin even if you are unsure what to call the relationship or what to do next.

What kind of therapist helps with a narcissistic parent, sibling or boss?
Look for a therapist experienced in narcissistic abuse, emotional abuse and complex relational trauma, with an understanding of difficult family relationships and workplace dynamics.
Therapy for an adult child of a narcissistic mother or father may address longstanding guilt, people-pleasing, family expectations and difficulty setting boundaries. Recovery from workplace emotional abuse may involve restoring confidence, managing distress and considering your options.
I work with adults affected by harmful relationships with parents, siblings, partners, bosses and colleagues. Whether contact continues or has ended, we focus on your wellbeing, self-trust and next steps.

How can I find a therapist who truly understands narcissism, gaslighting and trauma bonding?
A therapist who understands narcissistic abuse should be able to explain how they work with gaslighting, trauma bonding, coercive control and the lasting effects of emotional abuse—not simply describe narcissistic personality traits.
Ask how treatment addresses chronic self-doubt, shame, anxiety, emotional overwhelm and difficulty leaving or moving beyond a harmful relationship. Notice whether you feel heard and whether the therapist offers a clear, individualized approach.
My work combines specialized experience in narcissistic abuse recovery, lived understanding, advanced trauma training and the perspective of spiritual psychotherapy. You do not need a perfectly organized account of what happened. We start where you are.
How can I begin healing from narcissistic abuse at my own pace?
Narcissistic abuse recovery can begin with recognizing harmful relationship patterns, finding reliable support and reconnecting with your own needs. You do not have to understand everything or make every decision at once.
For private, self-paced recovery support, I created The Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Method™. The complete program includes 13 guided recovery audios across four stages: Stabilize, Detach, Reclaim and Integrate.
These narcissistic abuse recovery audios offer support for managing emotional overwhelm, understanding trauma bonding and rebuilding self-trust after emotional abuse. Listen at your own pace, independently or alongside psychotherapy. The program is an educational recovery resource rather than a substitute for individualized treatment.
Psychotherapy outcomes vary by individual.
No specific results can be guaranteed.
