Healing for Adult Children of Narcissistic
& Emotionally Immature Parents

Growing up with narcissistic or emotionally immature parents can leave deep emotional wounds that affect your self-esteem, relationships, and overall well-being.

Healing from Narcissistic and Emotionally Immature Parenting

Growing up with emotionally immature or narcissistic parents can leave deep, lasting impact. You may have experienced invalidation, emotional disconnection, manipulation, or a lack of safety and support. As a result, adult children often struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, perfectionism, difficulty setting boundaries, and persistent feelings of guilt or shame.

These challenges don’t mean there’s something wrong with you - they are survival responses to an environment that didn’t meet your emotional needs.

Healing begins when you start recognizing these patterns not as flaws but as adaptations that your system learned. Together we’ll create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, understand their impact, and gently begin to release the weight you’ve carried.

You don’t have to navigate this alone.

As a trauma therapist, certified coach, and mindfulness teacher, I specialize in supporting adult children of emotionally immature parents as they reconnect with their authentic selves, reclaim their identity, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. Whether through individual therapy or group programs, you’ll find a space for clarity, connection, and healing.

How I Can Help

My approach focuses on creating a safe, compassionate space to help you:

  • Understand Your Experiences: Gain insight into how your upbringing has shaped your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

  • Heal Emotional Wounds: Process the impact of neglect, invalidation, or manipulation in a supportive and secure environment.

  • Set Healthy Boundaries: Develop tools to create and maintain boundaries in relationships with family, friends, and colleagues.

  • Build Self-Worth: Reconnect with your authentic self, develop confidence and self-compassion, and rediscover a sense of peace and grounding.

Group Therapy and Programs

In addition to individual sessions, I offer group therapy and group programs tailored for adult children of narcissistic and emotionally immature parents. These programs provide:

  • Connection: A safe community of individuals who truly understand your experiences.

  • Shared Healing: Opportunities to learn from and support others navigating similar challenges.

  • Practical Tools: Strategies and exercises to foster emotional growth and resilience.

Growing up with a narcissistic or emotionally immature parent can leave lasting emotional scars and unhealthy coping mechanisms.
