Welcome to a safe space where your trauma is acknowledged, understood, and supported. Trauma is not just a single event; it's a profound shift that can impact every aspect of your life. The self-blame, shame, and strain on relationships that often accompany trauma are valid experiences. It's common for survivors to struggle with defining themselves beyond their past. But remember, you are more than your experiences. You deserve to rewrite your narrative and not bear the burden alone. Your voice matters, your feelings are valid, and you deserve the opportunity to heal and thrive.

Are psychic wounds or limiting self-beliefs holding you back? What matters most to you? The Chinese sage, Lao Tsu, said, "If you don't change direction, you will end up where you are heading." Are you happy with your direction? If not, come see me. I listen carefully and help you find your way. I am an active, fully-engaged therapist.

Life is a journey, it may be a cliché, but it's a statement of truth. Now imagine traveling that journey in a car. Sometimes the road is smooth, and other times, we hit a bump or two and keep on going. Maybe a pothole slows you down, so you pull over because you can't move any longer. You're stuck and can't figure out how to get moving again. You realize you need someone to help you get back on the road.

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.
