I am a narrative therapist with a deeply humanist perspective. This means that I believe we are born into a world of stories that tell us who we are, what we should become, and what our relationship to the world and others should be like. We go through life influenced by and adding to these stories, which can be a great source of strength and a source of really rigid limitations. You're probably coming to see me because your story is making you feel trapped. Or maybe your story has shattered and everything you thought you knew doesn't make sense anymore. My job is to help you sort through the pieces and ultimately put the pen back in your hand. You are in the driver's seat and I'm a loyal passenger who will follow you into any darkness — and light. I challenge my clients as much as I provide them with comfort. I will point out what I notice along your journey, and sometimes that can be uncomfortable. While discomfort can often mean growth, you always have the power to tell me when we need to change gears or when you think I haven't gotten something right. I am willing to adapt so that therapy is as beneficial as possible for you.
