My approach to therapy blends narrative techniques with CBT (cognitive behavior therapy) concepts and DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) concepts.
Welcome! I work with individuals, families, and couples to help them find new ways to look at their lives and new ways to manage difficult emotions. For more than twenty years, I've been working with families and have worked as an individual ADHD coach and as a special education advocate. I have also been a program director overseeing eating disorder clinics with clients who had primary eating disorders as well as ADHD, AuDHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, attachment disorders, and borderline personality disorder, among others.

You sit on a bench, watching people walking down the street. They all seem so comfortable in their own skin. Life comes so easily to them. "So what's wrong with me?" Your brain's a chaotic mess. Your thoughts overlap and blur together, making concentrating impossible. Navigating your social life feels like walking through a minefield. The world is full of rules that you never learned. You’ve accomplished a lot in life but happiness eludes you. "Is this normal?" you wonder. You've found plenty of lifehacks online but you're too paralyzed to do them. You know you could finally make everything better if only your brain would let you.

Are you barely holding on? Are you struggling to feel content? Anxiety and/or depression may not be new to you; however, dealing with a world that seems to be on fire and being inundated with it daily has become too much?

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.
