I additionally work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, borderline, and trauma presentations, using a combination of EMDR, NARM, narrative, acceptance, and existential therapies to support my clients.
Many of us feel like we are fighting several losing battles at once, often causing feelings of hollowness, sadness, hopelessness, and anxiety. This can make us feel like there’s no way to find our purpose or direction in life, impacting our relationships to others and ourselves. Navigating these struggles means more than addressing symptoms: we have to rediscover a sense of meaning. To do this, I blend together modalities that address trauma, identity, problem solving, and understanding our belief systems to best support the person from a place that is grounded and informed by their personal goals and priorities.

I believe that people have the innate capacity for change. In life we are often dealt circumstances that are beyond our understanding and personal control. Many of these experiences distort our perception of who we truly are. My role is to collaborate with you to explore your past and reconnect you to your authentic self. People are natural storytellers. In our work together we will identify which parts of your story add value to your life and which can be altered to improve the way you understand yourself and the circumstances in your life.

My approach draws from the work of existential, narrative, family-systems, and attachment-based therapies.
Mary Oliver says, "Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting - over and over announcing your place in the family of things." I believe your life is inherently valuable. Your story has meaning. No matter where you're at or what you've experienced, hope still beckons. Not with a guarantee of certainty, but with a promise of fullness, healing, and belonging. My hope as a licensed therapist is to meet with those in the midst of pain and uncertainty as they pursue growth and a greater sense of connection and authenticity.

As your child learns to better understand and regulate their physical urges, their emotional messages and their mental narrative and how those patterns negatively impact their daily life, they can become empowered to make necessary changes.
Are your children displaying challenges with emotions, relating to others or adjusting to a school environment? Difficulty regulating emotions and impulsive behaviors can negatively affect the way we interact with others, causing difficulties in building those relationships we need to thrive. I primarily work with children and teens with an emphasis on Autism, development delays, ADHD and anxiety and the impact on daily functioning and fully enjoying life. I have seen how trauma negatively affects normal childhood development and have been trained in EMDR for children to help free them from a burden and pain they don’t understand.

My passion is helping others through life's ups and down standing along side them in the journey. I have found through therapeutic sessions a common thread, and that is finding and holding on to hope, and the struggle in learning to truly love yourself. This can come from a number of reasons including past trauma, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, early childhood beliefs, and the list goes on. When an individual is comfortable "being in their own skin" they can move forward into healthy relationships and joy in life beginning to feel true love and hope bringing lifetime contentment.

I utilize Narrative therapy, Experiential Techniques, Play, Music, Art Therapies and a collection of eclectic options to help clients learn and master effective skills to improve their personal life and their relationships with loved ones.
I know first hand how hard it can be to reach out for help, when the world tells us the goal is to "have it all together." Therapy can be uncomfortable and difficult, but that is how change happens. I like to make the process of change less challenging for people by making therapy about making a connection with someone, and providing a safe, supportive environment. Healing is a chance to look at the story we are living in and rewrite the parts that don't fit anymore. Our lives are busy and chaotic and somewhere in all of that, we need to find time to build better versions of ourselves and healthy relationships with others.

As a writer and counselor, I believe in the power of words and stories for healing. We are exposed to many messages as we journey through life, both from others and ourselves. These messages have a profound impact, influencing our thoughts, emotions and behaviors, and can become detrimental to our mental health. Thus, my goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, affirming atmosphere for you to explore these personal messages, and to walk beside you as you create a more hopeful and meaningful narrative. I believe you already contain the seeds of hope and recovery within you; I would be honored to help you discover and cultivate them.

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.
