Are you in a relationship with a narcissistic partner and trying to decide if you can be healthy in the relationship? Maybe you are at a crossroads and contemplating divorce or are involved in a divorce process with a high-conflict personality. Wherever you are in your relationships with others, we will explore this dynamic in a supportive, non-judgmental manner, using Dr. McBride’s 5 Step Model in a trauma informed approach.
The 5-Step Program is structured in manner that provides the steps necessary to establish safety and acceptance in the therapy setting. Clients will learn the tools to re-engage in healthy relationships by ending the legacy of narcissism. Dr. McBride’s 5 Step Program is invaluable in helping clients embrace the authentic self that has gone into hiding as the result of programming by a narcissistic parent or partner.
My expertise allows me to work with clients in a trauma informed approach to address the invisible wounds of childhood caused by a narcissistic parent, as well as individuals suffering from narcissistically abusive relationships with an intimate partner.
My philosophy is that healing comes in many forms. If appropriate, I will incorporate grounding techniques and mindfulness best practices to help with anxiety and emotional dysregulation to use as a resource in-between sessions.
I am certified in Complex Trauma (CCTP II), and Yoga for Anxiety. Currently, I am working on my comprehensive certification in EMDR.
From 2013-2019, I conducted custody evaluations for the Massachusetts Family Court System, and I have extensive training and knowledge of the impact of high-conflict divorce on individuals, children and families.
Populations I work with:
• Adults ages 18+
• Although I specialize in women’s issues, I work with many male clients as well struggling with a narcissistic parent.
• Couples who are struggling to co-parent through divorce.
If you would like to connect, sessions are offered virtually. Currently my licensure only permits me to work with Massachusetts clients, however I am available for psychoeducation, coaching and consulting if you are out-of-state. I am an out-of-network provider.
