Q&A
Can therapy help me?
Yes, therapy can help, especially if you're dealing with issues like narcissistic abuse, dysfunctional family dynamics, or emotional immaturity. With over 13 years of clinical experience as a registered social worker, I offer a trauma-informed approach that provides a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel deeply heard and understood. Through therapy, you can gain clarity on your challenges, leading to new insights and practical strategies to build healthier boundaries, manage emotional triggers, and cultivate emotional resilience. As your therapist, I will guide you, offer tools, and hold you accountable for your personal growth, helping you address these specific issues and move towards a more fulfilling life.
What will we discuss in therapy?
In our sessions, we will explore your challenges, particularly those related to family dynamics, narcissistic behaviors, or emotional immaturity. Drawing from my specialization in family systems theory and extensive experience working with high-conflict families, I use a blend of existential therapy, Depth psychology, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine how these issues impact your life and relationships. My goal is to help you understand these dynamics, set healthier boundaries, manage emotional triggers, and build resilience for a more empowered life.
What purpose does therapy serve?
Therapy is particularly effective for those dealing with the complexities of dysfunctional family dynamics, narcissistic abuse, or emotional immaturity. With my background in social work and over a decade of experience in the field, I provide a safe space to explore these challenges. My trauma-informed approach is designed to help you develop strategies to set boundaries, manage emotions, and build healthier relationships, drawing from evidence-based practices and real-world experience. Through this personalized approach, you can gain the tools and resilience needed to navigate these difficulties and lead a more fulfilling life.
I feel like I have my problems under control. Do I really need therapy?
Even if you feel you have your issues under control, therapy can offer valuable insights into the underlying patterns from your family dynamics or past experiences. It can help you prevent future problems, enhance your relationships, and achieve a deeper sense of self-understanding and purpose, especially given my expertise in these areas.
How do I find a therapist?
When looking for a therapist, it's crucial to find someone who not only specializes in the areas you're struggling with but also has the experience and qualifications to handle those issues effectively. As a registered social worker with a Master of Social Work from McMaster University and over 13 years of clinical experience, I specialize in handling issues related to narcissistic abuse, dysfunctional family dynamics, and emotional immaturity. I use a combination of existential therapy, family systems theory, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to provide targeted support and guidance, ensuring you receive the best possible care.
Will you get tired of hearing me talk about the same things?
No, in fact, revisiting certain topics is a natural part of therapy, especially when dealing with complex issues like family dynamics or narcissistic abuse. Each time we explore these topics, we can gain new perspectives and deeper understanding, leading to more effective strategies for healing and growth, informed by my extensive experience with similar cases.
