About me

I didn't set out to become someone who talks about psychological abuse. I was just trying to survive it. I was seventeen when I met the person who would spend the next decade systematically dismantling my sense of reality. By the time I understood what had happened, I had lost my identity, my confidence, and my ability to trust my own mind. A psychological evaluation eventually confirmed what I had spent years doubting: he was a diagnosed narcissist and sociopath. But even with that confirmation in my hands, I still questioned myself. That's how deep the damage went.

Rebuilding wasn't linear. It wasn't pretty. And it didn't begin the moment I wasn't with him anymore. It began the moment I started learning to trust my own perceptions again, slowly, carefully, and with a lot of the wrong tools before I found the right ones.

I'm not a therapist. I don't have a clinical degree. What I have are decades of lived experiences, years of research, and a deep understanding of what it actually takes to reclaim your mind after someone has worked so hard to distort it.

I created Reclaim because the support I needed didn't exist. Not in the form I needed it. Not for someone who was still in the relationship trying to hold onto their sanity, or who had just left and couldn't figure out why they still felt so broken.

This work is for you wherever you are in that journey. No judgment. No timeline. Just clarity, tools, and the reminder that what you experienced was real.
