Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and drained from life? Are you stuck and unsure of what to do to feel like "yourself" again? Let's collaborate and navigate these stressors together. I enjoy helping individuals and families manage current life stressors or challenges. I have experience working with individuals of all ages, but particularly enjoy young adults ages 13-17 and ages 18+ who are pursuing education, have new careers, experience burnout, or are new families. I also have experience working with healthcare providers, military families, and grief.

Are you at the end of your rope? Have you been abused? Do you feel alone with deep, emotional pain, shame, and guilt? I know the feelings of depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. Clients often ask, "Will I ever get over this?" Yes, in a vast majority of cases, you will experience emotional and physical healing. Call me today to start your journey to healing. Furthermore, you may be a Believer, yet God seems a million miles away. Or perhaps you realized your issues, but don't know what to do or who to talk to. Conceivably, people's addictions and dysfunctions have created a trap, and you can't climb out.

If you find yourself feeling anxious, angry, sad, frustrated, overwhelmed, and tired I can assist with tools to help you alleviate some of these symptoms. Many times we feel so overwhelmed that we do not have or find the strength to cope. We struggle to find solutions to either manage our daily life or a major life event, and we feel that our world just crumbles. Sometimes we have family issues, struggle with boundaries, communication, and find no direction or drive to change our lives. If any of these issues sound familiar, I can help you find balance so that you can live life in a healthy and harmonious way.

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.
