Somatically-Informed Narrative Therapy is designed to help you integrate what you think with how you feel.
Is it possible to have a really good, satisfying relationship? I believe it is. Having a partnership that is growing, nurturing and fulfilling is not only possible - it is a skill that can be learned. As a Couple and Family Therapist, I have the latest training in relationship systems with an inclusive lens covering all types of relationships. Along with this evidence-based theory I bring a lifetime of psychological study and practice tested over time in my own partnership relationship. We never fight. Good communication skills and clear boundaries serve us well. Helping others find joy in their relationships is my highest calling.

I work with adults (18+) who are struggling with anxiety, depression, challenging relationship and/or family dynamics, and past trauma. I also work with caregivers, and individuals who are going through difficult life changes. Often people don't know where to begin, or how to narrow down and define exactly what they are struggling with. I am very good at assisting clients with getting to the heart of what needs to be healed. Others may be frustrated with having to explain everything all over again to a new therapist. I can make this easy for you, and meet you right where you are at.

Thank you for visiting my profile. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief from loss, a recent life transition, relationship issues, family issues, or trauma from a catastrophic event, I can help you. My approach with individuals centers around helping you to review emotions, thoughts, life experiences and beliefs to gain insight into your present-day challenges. We can begin to evaluate the problematic patterns you may have developed over time and work together on ways to change those patterns. I do not use a one-size-fits-all approach and will often integrate different treatment methods into our work.

Marstons Mills, MA 02648 (Online Only)
My hope for my clients is to empower them to reach their goals. That looks different for everyone. We know that anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, relationship as well as work stressors can negatively impact us and prevent us from having the life we truly deserve and want. Oftentimes, in order to move forward, we need to look back and see why certain things have impacted us and continue to impact us. My approach starts with reviewing goals and determining how best to move forward. Sometimes that means short-term solution focused therapy. Other times, it's cognitive behavioral and narrative therapy along with MI.

I am a partner at Leek Therapy. A mentor of mine once described therapy as "two people getting to know one person." I think this in many ways encapsulates my understanding of how I hope to work with people. By helping people "meet themselves" with compassion and understanding, people can then make informed decisions about how they want to move forward. I strive to support clients in identifying their desires and values and to move towards living a life aligned with those values. I utilize Narrative Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy as well as Psychodynamic techniques to work alongside clients.

Perhaps you "hate conflict" and then never communicate your needs or your feelings to another. Maybe you have children and are confused by all the conflicting information out there on best practices for managing your child's behavior. Perhaps it is a difficult relationship in your life, or something else completely that is causing you to feel frustrated and helpless. If this sounds like YOU, I can help!

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.
