Therapy for narcissistic abuse
Licensed narcissistic abuse therapist in Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee & online
Reclaim your voice, your worth, and your life
Growing up in, or later becoming part of, a narcissistic relationship can leave deep emotional
wounds that ripple through every area of life.
Being in a relationship with a narcissist, or someone with narcissistic traits—whether it was a parent, partner, family member, boss, or close friend—can leave lasting emotional scars. The effects often show up long after the relationship ends, in ways that quietly undermine confidence, relationships, and well-being. The impact often shows up as anxiety, self-doubt, people-pleasing, perfectionism, feeling disconnected from your authentic self, or fear you will never be in a healthy relationship.
The voice of narcissistic abuse often lingers long after the relationship ends, whispering messages like “You’re not enough,” “You’re broken,” or “Something is wrong with you.” These beliefs are not the truth—they are the echoes of conditioning. With support, healing is possible.
Other types of relationships with similar impact of narcissistic abuse that we can explore: addiction, mental illness, bipolar, borderline, or anything that felt toxic and disempowering.
Therapy can help you break free from those old messages, reconnect with your authentic self, and create a life where you feel whole, confident, and deeply worthy of love.

What it looks like to work with me
Therapy for women healing from narcisistic abuse in Temecula, Murrieta & online throughout CA, AZ, WA & OR
Therapy with me is relaxed, grounding, and real.
I am an understanding guide, empathic support, and dedicated resource coming from a place of authenticity and compassion.
You won’t find a stiff or clinical atmosphere here—you can expect a space that feels safe, welcoming, and down-to-earth. We might sit in chairs or even on the floor, and I show up in comfortable clothing so you can feel at ease being yourself, too. I can be direct when needed and I also have a sense of humor.
Our therapy sessions are flexible and creative.
Alongside talking, I often weave in somatic movement, breathing practices, visualization, meditation, mindfulness, dream work, parts work, or even the use of oracle cards when it feels supportive.

Clients say...
"When I found Elizabeth, I had been searching for a long time to try to figure out what was wrong with my family and why I kept having so much trouble with my relationships.
I saw several other therapists, but felt like I was spinning my wheels, not making progress."
"When I found out about narcissistic personality disorder and got to work with a therapist (Elizabeth) who specializes in that, everything became clear.
It took time and care and hard work, but I am so thankful to be where I am today; to have answers to my questions, to be empowered, and to be moving forward into a life of healing and happiness."
