Some of my specialties are Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, mindfulness-based therapies, narrative, somatics, and brainspotting.
Taking the first step to seek counseling can be overwhelming, and it also demonstrates tremendous courage. As a counselor, I consider it an honor to support individuals in finding resilience through life’s challenges. I am passionate about providing trauma-informed care, which means a felt sense of safety and a kind and considerate pace are the most important things in the room. I lead with curiosity and compassion and offer a nonjudgmental space where clients can freely explore their inner world. Whatever your story or need, you can expect your treatment to be highly individualized and to honor you as a unique human being.

One minute your child is bursting with anger. The next, they are tearful and withdrawn. Or you find them frozen, paralyzed by fear. It's hard to see your child struggling. Maybe you don’t understand why it is happening. Or maybe there has been a major change in your child's life. These emotional outbursts and roller coaster of emotions are affecting everyone in the family. You’ve tried lots of things. Nothing is working. You feel stuck, overwhelmed, or even frustrated. You want things to get better… but you don’t know where to begin.

Traumatic experiences and disruptions to significant relationships can shape the way we view ourselves and the world around us.

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.
