As a narrative therapist, I believe in your story's power.
Life's growth comes from transition points, which can often make us feel unfulfilled, anxious, and overwhelmed. During these times, support is crucial. As a counselor with extensive qualifications, including a doctorate in education, two master’s degrees, and now pursuing a master's in counseling from Northwestern University, I understand these challenges. We need human interaction to help us recharge during low periods. If you or a loved one need support, I'm here to help you regain balance. I use a tailored, narrative therapeutic model and provide holistic care with diverse therapeutic techniques. I offer a space for decompress

Treatment modalities and specialties include: CBT/DBT/narrative/solution focused therapy, tools for increased quality of communication in relationships, anxiety/burnout, healing from grief and trauma, relationship challenges, LGBTQIA+ and identity challenges, chronic illness management and support.
I am licensed in GA and MA. I specialize in anxiety and love working with other providers, healers, parents, teachers and caretakers for patients, relatives, parents, partners, etc. who are struggling with burnt out, struggling to find balance in their lives, and perhaps dealing with their own health and chronic health issues. In this field we often support and hold space for others without recognizing our own limits, exhaustion, sickness, chronic health issues, and need for love and support for ourselves. I value a space where we can partner to create boundaries, healing, and support for self.

I work from a humanistic lens so I can understand you as a whole, and then use Narrative, CBT, and DBT approaches to integrate new changes.
Approaching therapy can be really overwhelming. In reality, therapy with me is about stripping everything down and meeting you where you are. I became a therapist because I think everything begins with looking at life through your car window, and not holding any judgment on the feelings and experiences that come from that perspective. Many times we're led here because everything in our life feels too complicated- my role involves working by your side to learn how to untangle what feels too heavy and impossible. Through the therapeutic relationship, we form I want to help you get to a place where you feel whole.

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.
