The pathway forward for many is to perhaps see our story in a new way and begin to write a new narrative that can move us toward healing and hope.
My life was drastically changed when I started therapy. If you’re seeking freedom, understanding, growth, or simply to feel better, we probably beat to the same drum. It truly is my honor and privilege to sit with you in your hard. We were never meant to journey alone. The clients I tend to work with are processing through grief/life transition, relationship struggles and attachment issues. Most of my clients want to live a free-er fuller life not weighed down by the decisions they've made or what others have done to them.

I employ evidence-based methods such as EMDR, CBT, DBT, and narrative therapy to help clients heal from trauma and cope with anxiety and depression.
Things aren't right. You grapple with profound sadness, nightmares, and a feeling of dread when contemplating past events. Despite attempts at improvement, your situation remains stagnant. Your social life is struggling and relationships are strenuous. You have aspirations and goals for the future yet are uncertain about how to navigate past your history. Or maybe you’re a like 20% of new parents and struggling with your mental health during pregnancy or the early years. I can provide insights into the brain differences associated with trauma, depression, and anxiety, & offer explanations for the emotions you are experiencing.

There is not an easy fix or a quick answer but there is a way passed what you're going through. Maybe you've asked your friends and family and you're not getting anywhere. Maybe you haven't talked to anyone about it at all. You're not broken, you're not too much, and your absolutely worth the work you can do in therapy. Sometimes you know something is wrong but don't know what or where to begin. Sometimes you know exactly what's wrong and fear there is no solution or the pain or shame or fear have convinced you not to seek the perspective and growth that can come from counseling. If now is the time for therapy, let's talk.

I specialize in working with codependent women and men. Codependency is not always related to addiction, it is often referred to as a self-love deficit disorder because most codependent clients have a difficult time identifying and focusing on their own needs. They often spend a lifetime being people-pleasers, but eventually feel anger and resentment for neglecting themselves and not receiving the appreciation/love they desire from others. Breaking free from codependency requires individuals to step away from their denial, to honor themselves, and to set boundaries. Then they can love and nurture others in a healthy manner.

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.
