Nanci's Specialities: I have specialized in working with clients who have a narcissistic or borderline spouse, partner, or parent (see below). However, I do work with those who are experiencing depression, anxiety, OCD, adjustment problems, marital issues/infidelity, relational and communication problems.

Interpersonal Violence is: emotional abuse/financial abuse/lying/manipulation/coercion/physical abuse/sexual abuse/pornography Some symptoms of domestic violence are: • You get emotionally tired and carry a lot of shame You cover up the partner's/parent's actions by downplaying what they do even when others bring it out• You feel crazy and they tell you so, even if you have evidence to the contrary.• They accept responsibility for the good you do.• They make fun of you, and sometimes it's so subtle that you don't even notice.• You discover bad information, and when you say something, they dismiss it.• You put forth a lot of effort to teach morals and do the "right" thing.• You have low self-esteem.• You see his/her emotional outbursts (moodiness). They don't always make sense when explained.• You get an uneasy feeling that lying is taking place.• When you challenge them, they turn the tables on you.• Criticizing, demeaning, and defeating you keeps you in 'your place'.• Make everything revolve around them.• Take advantage of others and believe they have more rights and privileges than others• Control and separation from people who may be able to give emotional support • Arguments become perplexing and lack logical coherence. Oh, and there's so much more.....

• As you try to manage your relationship, personality disorders may be rather hard and perplexing. You cannot accomplish this ON YOUR OWN. Recovery is both achievable and much required. The toll it takes on your body, mind, and spirit, not to mention the children involved, may be horrifying.
