The Effects of Narcissistic Abuse in Relationships
More About Kheri
Empowering you to embrace your authentic self and thrive – that’s my mission as your therapist. Having walked the path of therapy myself, I intimately understand the courage it takes to seek help. Whether you’re grappling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, I’m here to guide you towards healing and growth.
What To Expect From Our Work Together
In our sessions, we’ll harness evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), tailored to your unique needs. I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complex aftermath of narcissistic abuse in interpersonal relationships (friendships, romance, family members), offering support and strategies to heal from these experiences and rebuild self-esteem. Many individuals already possess the necessary tools to unlock their potential; my role is to help you discover and utilize these inner resources, particularly in recovering from toxic relationships.
Our journey together will be collaborative, valuing your expertise in your own life at every stage of the process. I strongly advocate for intersectionality, affirming that every facet of your identity deserves recognition and nurturing. This approach is particularly beneficial for clients navigating cultural conflicts, LGBTQ+ issues, racial identity challenges, or the intricate dynamics of narcissistic abuse. Together, we’ll celebrate your achievements while I provide gentle challenges and accountability to keep you focused on your goals. The groundwork we lay will serve as a foundation for your ongoing personal growth and the development of healthy, fulfilling relationships.

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), I bring a wealth of experience to our sessions. My educational background includes a Master’s degree in Counseling from DePaul University, specializing in Clinical Mental Health, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Vanderbilt University.
Professionally, I balance empathy with pragmatism, using humor and seriousness as needed to support our work.
