As we begin our journey, I will believe you will find a warm and welcoming environment laced with humor, and, above all, respect for your particular narrative.
Selecting a therapist can be a daunting task, especially if you are experiencing emotional pain and/or navigating a life crisis. Perhaps you are feeling "stuck" and just don't know where to turn. I am a licensed clinical social worker practicing for over thirty years in a variety of community based and education settings before focusing on my private practice. I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, and older individuals.

As a social worker, I focus not only on what diagnoses someone may have, but also them as a whole person, inclusive of their environment. Sometimes it's easy to blame everything on yourself and it takes an outside perspective to help you to consider and work through what other factors may be contributing to your struggles. I enjoy working through issues surrounding folks with ADHD, ASD, mood disorders, chronic illness/disabilities, trauma, and people who are LGBTQIA+ or involved in fandom. I try to customize therapy as much as possible to the individual since there's no one size fits all approach that works for everyone.

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.
