About me
I'm an experienced counselor in dealing with the effects of narcissism and how it affects self-esteem, confidence and your belief in yourself.
As an adult child of an alcoholic, narcissistic father who designated me as the scapegoat, I have an empathy and understanding for people who have been unfairly treated or ostracized due to a subjectively perceived shortcoming. You've been taught to believe you're always doing something wrong. You may second-guess yourself or feel forced to defend yourself against anything that makes you feel like you're being attacked. If you have been a victim of narcissistic abuse, you are not alone. There is someone who understands.
