Allow me to teach you how to change your life’s narrative and learn ways to decipher the positive from the negative.
Counseling is not just an educational endeavor for me, it is my true life’s passion. As my primary spiritual/natural gift, my purpose on earth is to utilize my counseling skills to serve others in any capacity that I can. We have all felt sad, angry, lonely, misunderstood, unforgiven, misused, abused, fed up, and so on and so forth. Our goal in therapy would be to examine your emotional well being and how it impacts your life. While you process through everything from past trauma to current conflicts, it is significant to know that your growth and healing is what is most important to me.

I have worked with families, individuals and couples for many years, and find that bridging miscommunications to build connection is something I am deeply passionate about. When we can work to understand one another, we can often come to better understand ourselves, especially within these systems. I utilize a combination of Internal Family Systems (IFS), narrative and attachment theories with Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) in all my work with clients. I come from a family systems perspective believing our interconnectedness influences others, and empowering individuals to use this concept as a model of change.

I do take a collaborative approach to therapy, but I do believe there is more than one way of doing things, so I also work with my clients in a narrative approach too.
Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation with little opportunity for interaction. I can tell you that is not my approach. I believe that you can navigate the challenges and changes life could bring. I am committed to helping you on your journey through partnership, a team effort to achieve symptom reduction, more self-awareness, and increased confidence. I want you to be free of emotional pain and be able to deal with life’s mental stressors.

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.
