Accepting new clients! I help teens and adults reconnect with their true selves after experiencing anxiety and trauma. Anxiety and trauma can have a profound impact on how we perceive ourselves and the world around us, often laying the foundation for a wide range of difficulties. Many of the clients I work with struggle with perfectionism, social anxiety, overthinking, difficulty relaxing, negative self-talk, people pleasing, anger, and a constant feeling of being on edge. My therapeutic approach is gentle and compassionate, combining relational and narrative therapy, mindfulness, humanistic principles, and inner child work.

I take my approach from different modalities including, but not limited to, DBT, TF-CBT, Person-Centered, Narrative, Systems-based, and Attachment Theory.
Finding the right fit for your mental health journey can be daunting. Therapy is vulnerable and powerful, and finding a person to support you in this is important. I firmly believe being a therapist is not about doing something for the client, but being someone for the client. I am here to be that someone for my clients. There is a misconception in our world that asking for help is weakness, when in fact it’s strength. I’ll be here for you, with no judgement.

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.
