Pathological Love Relationships, also known as narcissistic abuse, are complex and insidious pairings in which brain chemistry and self-identity are hijacked. Utilizing the most recent research and treatment modalities, we work with you to increase your ability to understand why you were targeted, sort facts from fiction about who your partner truly is, unravel yourself from these toxic partners, and teach you how to prevent being targeted again.

Pathological Love Relationships (PLR), commonly known as Narcissistic Abuse, shows up in many ways. It can show up in your marriage, friendships, or even in your church. We use the most recent evidence-based research and treatment methods to help you understand why you find yourself targeted by these people, how to discern facts from fiction cultivated by the pathological person, how to unravel yourself from the relationship and identify these people in the future to avoid being targeted again.

The field of Social Work, unlike other mental health fields, orients itself to a "person-in-environment" perspective. This means that no one modality is going to prove effective in treating every client. You are as unique as the history you bring into the room with you, therefore I pull skills and tools from the therapies listed below as we continue to progress through your therapeutic process together.
