In our therapy sessions, we will work on:

    •    Understanding narcissistic patterns and abuse cycles (idealize–devalue–discard)

    •    Healing from emotional manipulation, gaslighting, and control

Narcissistic abuse can be hard to name—and even harder to recover from. Whether you were in a relationship with a narcissistic partner, parent, boss, or friend, the effects can be devastating. You may feel confused, manipulated, constantly doubting yourself, or unsure of what was real. The abuse is often subtle, hidden beneath charm, gaslighting, guilt, and control.

As a licensed psychotherapist and former medical doctor experienced in narcissistic abuse recovery, I provide a validating, empowering space where you can begin to unravel the psychological damage, rebuild your self-trust, and reclaim your voice.

You didn’t imagine it. You weren’t too sensitive. And it wasn’t your fault. Healing starts with truth—and continues with compassion.

Let’s help you step out of the fog and into a life of clarity, safety, and self-respect.

I provide therapy in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Palms, and Santa Monica.
