People need different things in their lives and when they come to therapy they can expect a calm, quiet atmosphere and a place where they can express themselves in ways that they may have never felt safe enough to do so. There are so many challenges in life and individuals should take pride in recognizing that it takes strength to reach out for guidance.

Families I meet are confronting obstacles related to stress, anxiety, depression, identity, self esteem, and behavior. These challenges are taxing for one person, impacting our family and personal relationships. Many carry this burden, seeking an opportunity to set them and forget them, searching for a new way to live. Hope is found in the family’s inner strength to grow and adapt, even as our roles and identities change. Let’s tap into your power to negotiate the ups and downs of relationships, mental health, and transitions.

My career as a marriage and family therapist has been dedicated to work with families; namely couples and children. A systemic lens of the world takes into account absolutely everything. I see you as more than just a person, you are part of a larger fabric; the family you were born into and as well as the one you make as an adult. This can include, but is not limited to, partnerships and marriage, friendships, work and career, cultural identity, personal traditions and individual hobbies. Whatever makes you who you are is a part of treatment.

Through my practice, You First Counseling, I help motivated individuals work through anxiety, perfectionism, grief, gender dysphoria, relational issues, trauma symptoms, and more. But to work on those things, I'm finding that people need space to fully (for at least one hour) put themselves first; to know that their time is theirs, and to have someone help hold their struggles.

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.
