Toronto Leslieville Therapist: Heal Narcissistic Abuse

Years of gaslighting and scapegoating leave you questioning your worth, with low self-esteem, people-pleasing, and a blurred sense of self. I help by mapping your family dynamics (using Bowen triangles and IFS parts) to reclaim your authentic identity, building self-trust through targeted exercises that foster differentiation and inner calm.

Triggers like righteous rage, anxiety, or CPTSD flashbacks disrupt your life, stemming from suppressed truths about non-reciprocal relationships. My framework integrates somatic awareness, depth psychology, and Stoic tools to regulate your nervous system, process grief, and transform trauma into resilience—ensuring you feel grounded and secure.

Difficulty forming healthy bonds due to codependency, attachment wounds, or replaying family patterns in romance or work. For individuals or couples (via Gottman methods), I guide boundary-setting and emotional attunement, helping you cultivate reciprocal, respectful connections while avoiding high-conflict traps.

Believing "I'm the problem" from years of blame and emotional neglect, leading to confusion and held-back potential. We dismantle these through integral quadrants (exploring personal, cultural, and systemic layers), re-parenting your inner child, and productivity blueprints to align actions with your true values.

Many therapists don't fully grasp narcissistic family nuances, potentially re-traumatizing by encouraging contact or overlooking systemic issues. As a survivor myself with specialized training (Sam Vaknin, Lindsay Gibson, family constellations, and more), I offer a non-judgmental, expert space that validates no-contact decisions and provides a comprehensive map forward—blending therapy and coaching for holistic growth.
