The founder of Narrative Therapy, Michael White, used to say he can tell you about how he typically practices but could walk into the therapy office and do something very different than what he had just described. The way I work is very similar. I am well versed in many different therapy models at the doctoral level and am able to work with you to figure out which treatment path is likely to work best for your individual case.

My primary focus is Solution Focus Narrative Therapy.
Individuals, Couples, and Families come to therapy with a range of concerns that include or are related to traumatizing major life events, depression, anxiety, anger management, loss, addiction, parenting issues, etc., that have negatively impacted their lives. As a result, they seek a therapist that can provide a safe, supportive place for them to talk about circumstances that are causing distress. Therapy should assist in adding relief for those symptoms. As a professional, I collaborate with clients to overcome these concerns.

In my approach I use Gottman Method, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Narrative Therapy.
Are you looking for the perfect relationship? Unfortunately, a “perfect” relationship doesn’t exist; however, a healthy one does. Couples do experience challenges, but it is how they work through these challenges that defines the quality of their relationship. At times you might feel overwhelmed, scared, or disconnected from your partner. There is hope. If your relationship is having trouble, I can help. With over ten years of experience, I have helped couples overcome various challenges to understand what is hurting their relationship; while at the same time, teaching them how to work together rather than against each other.

I believe in order for us to heal, find happiness, and grow in our mental fortitude we must treat the mind and the soul.

My main theoretical approaches are existential, feminist, narrative, and experiential. Most often, sessions with my clients involve recounting important narratives to the client and looking at word choice when story-telling. This will often lead into a philosophical discussion about the values described in the narrative, as well as an exploration of societal, familial, and gender narratives. We often do this through talking, but we sometimes do this through a specific music listening technique called "Guided Imagery and Music" (GIM).

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.
