Are you stuck with a narrative you didn't count on? It may be causing emotional or physical pain, weariness and hopelessness. But your present narrative is only one point-in-time piece of your story.
As a lifelong writer and editor, I was drawn to narrative therapy as a foundation for my counseling work. Today I work with individuals and couples to recognize the dominant narrative in their lives, as well as identify alternative, preferred narratives. Together, we figure out how to move toward those preferred narratives.
It takes bravery to change a narrative, and I deeply admire people who take the bold step to see a therapist. I'm excited to hear every part of your story and would like to work with you to bring insight, planning and action toward the narrative you prefer.
