Society puts the burden of fixing parent-child relationships on the child. That's frankly bullsh*t.
When you grow up with a toxic parent, you’re not just gaslit by them—you’re often gaslit by society and even the professionals you turn to for help.
Well-meaning therapists (who don’t get it) might try to play devil’s advocate or push you to “repair the relationship” in order to heal. That only adds more confusion and guilt.
Those of us (myself included) who grew up with emotionally immature, narcissistic, or manipulative parents know what it’s like to constantly second-guess our own reality—even on a good day.
And when the world around us minimizes or judges our experience? Healing can feel impossible.
I built Confident Boundaries to change that.
I never set out to start a business where I talk openly about toxic parents—including my own.
If you had told me five years ago that I’d be sharing my experience of growing up with a parent who likely had narcissistic personality disorder—on my own podcast and social media accounts—I would’ve thought you were out of your mind.
Talking this publicly about my own trauma has been one of the most vulnerable things I’ve ever done. It’s also been one of the most healing.
Because here’s the truth: finding resources that speak directly to our kind of family dysfunction is nearly impossible. As a cycle breaker, you're often left to piece it all together on your own (in between those moments of self-gaslighting when you convince yourself it's not really that bad).
So, I built what I desperately needed in the beginning of my own healing journey and what I wish already existed for all the therapy and coaching clients I've worked with.
My perspective is fairly unique as it's not just personal. As a therapist, I’ve spent over 12 years working with clients with personality disorders—primarily borderline, but also narcissistic, histrionic, and antisocial—alongside their partners and family members.
Now, in both my therapy practice and as a boundaries coach, I work almost exclusively with adults who were raised by emotionally immature, narcissistic, or otherwise toxic parents.
I bring both my professional training and lived experience to this work—and I’ve built a world where healing doesn’t have to be so d*mn hard.
And even better? You don’t have to do it alone anymore.Â
Â
Helping you finally understand the dysfunctional cycle you were raised in, getting clear on your actual options, learning healthier ways to cope, and building the confidence to make your own choices.
Â
Telling you what to do, pushing one-size-fits-all solutions, or acting like no-contact is the only path. I don’t waste your time trying to get your parent to change—because that’s entirely out of your control.
In early 2024, IÂ took the leap and started Confident Boundaries.
This space was built for people who’ve googled everything under the sun, read the books, done therapy, and still find themselves spiraling when their parent explodes, manipulates, or guilt-trips them.
You won’t find vague advice here. You’ll get real tools, therapist-designed strategies, and emotionally honest support from someone who actually understands the kind of family dynamic you're navigating.
What started as 1:1 coaching has grown into a full ecosystem:
→ A podcast with thousands of listeners
→ An app with on-demand tools
→ A boundary-setting workshop that teaches you what actually works (and what doesn't)
→ And a private membership built for cycle breakers who want community, clarity, and real support—not more gaslighting or “they probably meant well” bs.
Everything I create is built for cycle breakers just like you:
✔ Insightful and self-aware—but still stuck in guilt and second-guessing
✔ Tired of one-size-fits-all advice that doesn’t apply to your parent
✔ Deeply committed to healing—even when it’s hard
Ready to finally feel supported, understood, and in control?
