Narcissistic Abuse Recovery in Ventura, California
Your obsession with understanding how things went wrong has become a wild goose chase.
Memories of lose-lose scenarios replay in your mind, defying logic or reason.
Part of you is still waiting for an apology. After all the empathy, kindness, and forgiveness you’ve offered, it feels like the least they could do.
But it never comes.
The confusion and pain take over your ability to know yourself and trust your reality.
Over time, your mind, body, and relationships suffer from the undue weight that has become yours alone to carry.
Without true justice or resolution, hope feels fleeting with this approach.
Looping through this painful cycle again and again can leave you feeling broken, inadequate, and ashamed.
The good news: You’ve survived the hardest part. Now it’s time to truly heal.
Understanding what happened is just one piece of recovering from narcissistic abuse and emotional manipulation.
True healing involves restoring your ability to feel trust, confidence, and in connection with yourself.
Let’s work together to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges you’re experiencing and develop a plan to achieve the unique vision you hold for your life.
Our work together will help you get to the root of what’s preventing you from experiencing the change you want to see for yourself.

Hi, I’m Frank.
I work with adults struggling to turn insight into embodied change.
I’ve been there… In my early twenties, I experienced a mental health crisis that significantly disrupted my ability to function. Despite understanding where my pain came from and how I wanted to change, I continued to experience the same outcomes in my relationships, work, and art- especially in the face of adversity.
Things changed after I found rock bottom and I was forced to reassess my approach. It was at this point that I began integrating my cognitive and mental work with somatic and depth psychology tools.
Together, these approaches contributed to a profound transformation in my experience of life. I became better able to recognize old patterns without automatically acting them out, stay connected to myself when life became difficult, and feel more trusting in myself.
