Do you ever wonder what it is about you that’s hard to love?

I’ll be your strongest ally as you heal your heart, take back who you are, and develop a solid sense of self… so you have the confidence to accept that YOU are the PRIZE.

I’m a Certified Trauma-Informed Life Coach with a Psychology BSc, Certified Practitioner of several methods of psychotherapy including Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapies, with over 20 years of education, training, and experiences in mental & behavioral health.

But my qualifications are only relevant because I am a Survivor of Narcissistic Abuse.

Unfortunately, my years of education and training did not prepare me for my encounters with the narcissists who nearly destroyed me… nor did I suspect that my lack of self-esteem, weak boundaries, and persistent self-doubt and distrust were the result of the psychological mistreatment from my past.

But after my last involvement with a narcissistic abuser, I threw all my knowledge, research, and first-hand experiences into my recovery to finally shatter the mask, release the toxic bond, and break free.

So if you’re ready to stop tolerating bad behavior… and if you’re ready to go all in and take back your RIGHT to fill your space with peace, happiness and fulfillment… I’m your girl.

*If during your clarity call, you decide to move forward with private coaching or one of Carmen’s group programs or courses, some or all of your clarity call fee will be applied.

I spent years of studies, research, and training in the fields of mental and behavioral health… but never would I have been able to even imagine the sheer magnitude of pain, confusion, loneliness, and crazy-making experienced in the hands of a narcissist… without living through it myself.

While individuals with NPD appear to follow similar behavioral patterns, simply knowing the “textbook characteristics” of Narcissistic Personality Disorder is not enough to recognize someone with this disorder.

  • The narcissistic cycle of abuse is so covert that most survivors report they weren’t aware they were being emotionally or psychologically abused… let alone even know what narcissistic abuse was prior to being ripped through the shredder.
  • It’s not uncommon for ADULT children of narcissists to only learn much later in life… that their lifelong lack of self-esteem, weak boundaries, and persistent anxiety, self-doubt, and distrust are the result of the emotional and psychological mistreatment they’ve endured as children.
  • Emotional and psychological abuse is often invalidated and swept under the rug due to lack of “physical proof.” However, there are very serious, life-altering consequences the survivors must endure… sometimes, for life.

This experience left me mentally and emotionally destroyed, battling Complex-PTSD, and fighting thoughts to end my life because the pain and confusion were multiplying at an alarming rate.

But I broke free and fought with everything I have, to take myself back.
Let me help you navigate out of this LIVING HELL – for good.

Thank you so much for being the loudest voice I’ve heard so far


At last, someone has written about this in which, I consider a brutal and honest style. I’m so very grateful that this subject is getting out there, that these nasty, pervasive women are being exposed. They do lifetime lasting damage. Thank you so much for being the loudest voice I’ve heard so far.
