You're stuck in a cycle of relationships that make you feel confused, depressed, and guilty. You often feel blamed and responsible for every argument. You ask yourself "Am I the narcissist?" I help individuals heal from trauma and narcissistic abuse. Through therapy, I can help you feel less shame and guilt and more hopeful about the future.
You can learn to stop the cycle of narcissistic abuse, understand what's blocking you from the life you want to live, and experience less worry. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR): EMDR helps you heal from past disturbing events by processing memories so that you feel less upset and triggered by them.

You argue with yourself and get stuck trying to understand your feelings but also criticizing yourself for not trying hard enough and not doing enough. You never feel good enough. You find yourself in relationships where it always ends up being your fault. You try to express how you feel, but it somehow gets twisted around and turned back on you.
Do you need support but can't make it to an in-person appointment? Are you a busy stay-at-home or working parent and don't have the time to drive across town for therapy? Do you live in a more rural area, or maybe you prefer to do things virtually? If so, I can help you! My practice is an online practice serving individuals in Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin, and the greater Tennessee area!
You fell in love so fast. They were charming and said all the right things. You felt happy and warm with their affection, but just as suddenly as the good feelings began, they stopped. Your partner became cold, withholding, and mean. You don't know which side of your partner you will get each day. The charming, affectionate side or the cold, mean side.
Growing up you were constantly criticized by your parent, although they would loudly praise your achievements in front of others. Your parent was charming and fun to everyone else but at home they were mean and controlling. You learned early on that people pleasing was the safest way to avoid emotional abuse or anger.
You go through the motions of daily life and most of the time you're doing okay, but other times, you feel disconnected, spacey, or forgetful. You go from feeling numb to feeling intense anger, fear, or sadness. These feelings seem to come out of nowhere and are confusing. When you're overwhelmed, you get irritated and snap at others but then you immediately feel guilty and mad at yourself.

I've recommended Nicole to many individuals and families and it's always been a wonderful experience for them. It can be intimidating to find the right counselor - but Nicole is a balance of competent, warm, creative, and effective. As a fellow counselor, having her as a resource has been a gift. Wherever she goes, she's an asset to the field. I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to her if you're seeking counseling, and I'll continue to refer others to her for as long as I can.
