Asking for help may be the hardest and most courageous thing any of us can do. Utilizing Narrative Therapy, I help clients identify their values and skills to help them effectively confront current and future problems. I want to help people challenge and change the scripts that hold them back from self-compassion, curiosity, and creativity. My ultimate goal is to help people cultivate joy in their lives so that they can feel connected to the moments and people that matter to them most.

I applaud your willingness in taking this first step to engage in therapy. The first step is often the most difficult one and it shows notable courage that you’ve made that decision. If you’ve made your way here, chances are that you may be struggling in some aspect in your life. It may be life stressors, issues in a romantic relationship, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma or maybe you need to be able to speak with someone who will listen and empathize with you. Whatever the case may be, I want you to know that you’re not alone and that you can receive the support, care and guidance you’re looking for.

Narrative Therapists
Is narrative therapy evidence-based?
Narrative therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy. Some small studies do show that depressed and anxious individuals who were treated with narrative therapy reported improvement in anxiety and depression symptoms.
How long does narrative therapy last?
Narrative therapy is less structured when compared with psychoanalysis, for example. Narrative therapy is more open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a few months, and sometimes a year or longer. Patients see their therapist one to two times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a person’s challenges and progress. Individuals can also practice the principles of narrative therapy after treatment has ended.
Does narrative therapy work?
Narrative therapy can help a person manage or reduce symptoms of conditions like depression or anxiety. This type of therapy encourages a person to reflect on the moments of their life when their particular problem was not at the forefront of their minds—perhaps life celebrations, achievements, and other successes. The individual is encouraged to rewrite their storyline as if their particular problem was not part of their life. This therapy may offer benefits that are hard to measure.
What are the possible limitations of narrative therapy?
Narrative therapy is person-centered or client-centered, and the health professional pays more attention to the subjective narratives that are constructed by the client, as opposed to other objective measures. The therapist privileges the individual’s perspective over all others. This open form may feel frustrating for individuals seeking a more structured approach; certainly, no one therapy type will work for every individual.
