In Person Therapy in Baton Rouge, La. Online Therapy Across Louisiana, Florida and Virginia.

Reclaim your life and heal from narcissistic relationships.

You don’t recognize the woman in the mirror or understand how things got so bad.

My clients are just like you: goal-oriented, accomplished and confident —or at least you used to be. Now you’re unsure of yourself, stuck in a relationship that seems to get more toxic by the day. You are struggling to keep it together, because what started out as a fairytale has become a nightmare.

You just want things to be good again—like you know they can be. But no matter what you do, your partner’s behavior is escalating. You want to run away, yet you feel desperate to stay in the relationship. You feel a deep sense of shame because this kind of thing isn’t supposed to happen to you. What would other people think if they knew what’s really happening at home?

You may feel like you are…

  • Losing your grip on what’s real and what isn’t. You question your own thoughts, feelings, experiences and memories.

  • Always putting his needs ahead of your own, or even your children’s.

  • Walking on eggshells because you never know whether you’ll come home to Dr. Jeckyll or Mr. Hyde.

  • Afraid to stay, and afraid to leave. Sometimes it just feels easier to try to please him. Besides, he’s had a rough life, and he’s not always like this…

Together, we'll explore the impact of your narcissistic relationship, break the cycle, and start recovering.

I’m Amanda.

You are worthy of compassion and healing, and I'm here to provide a safe space for your transformation.

You may feel unsure about talking to a therapist. But you’re here, so some part of you believes in the possibility that things can get better. I want you to know that they absolutely can.

I can help you gain clarity, find your voice and live confidently again.
