Hi, I’m Gretchen.
I help smart, capable women recover from narcissistic relationships,
ditch the people-pleasing, and become who they were meant to be.
​
If you’ve been walking on eggshells, doubting your gut, or Googling “am I the problem?”
Spoiler: you’re not;
you’re in the right place.
​​
Coaching with me will help you:
Heal the emotional damage narcissistic abuse leaves behind,
Spot red flags before they become full-blown circus tents,
Set boundaries like a boss (without needing a guilt hangover after),
Reclaim your independence: financially, emotionally, all of it.
Stop shrinking yourself and start living loudly, confidently, you-ly!
​
You don’t need to earn rest.
You don’t need permission to take up space.
You don’t need to keep fixing what you didn’t break.
​
This is your life.
Let’s make it yours again.
​
​
​
A Narcissist is someone who has an exaggerated sense of self-importance and is overly concerned with their own needs, not yours.
Autonomy
Autonomy: "the quality of state of being self-governing, especially the right of self government."
In other words...
YOU make the rules for you,
YOU set the boundaries that are healthy for you, and you enforce them,
YOU believe in yourself and live a fulfilling life, for YOU!

Ready for a fresh focus?
It's time for a personal reinvention with the focus on you: emotional health, well-being, communication, and self-care.
What is Autonomy Coaching?
"So, what does an autonomy coach do?"
​
I guide and support women through personal reinvention by focusing on identity, confidence, communication, and self-care.
​
First, we address stabilizing your thoughts and emotions. We analyze your current daily routines and implement small changes that have high impact, providing safety and security.
​
Then, we explore your values, interests, and strengths to help you to better understand and appreciate your unique qualities and interests. This builds self-awareness and confidence.
​
Next, we concentrate on strengthening social connections and community involvement. (Don't worry, my fellow introverts, I have a plan for you, too.) Social engagement and relationships are crucial for connecting you with your personal joy and purpose.
​
Finally, we turn our attention to pursuing personal goals and aspirations, fostering a sense of accomplishment and purpose. This system of self-exploration and action planning is tried and true.
Happiness is the best revenge!
"After a very lengthy marriage to a narcissist, I found myself alone and starting over without any idea of how to to begin. Gretchen's guidance and counsel with her great ideas to help me move on with my career and new lifestyle have been invaluable to me. Gretchen's an amazing listener and motivator, which was exactly what I needed to stay focused to get healthy and make the most of the life ahead of me. I am still working with her to reach my next life goals and to create the lifestyle I want and deserve. Let her work with you too!"
